Bin Laden Dead?

I wonder if bin Laden got to see a titanium toothed SEAL dog before they offed him.

a point ignored in most of this is that muslims are not big fans of dogs, titanium toothed or not

Fidon't

is that actually true? serious q.

The majority of Muslim jurists consider dogs to be ritually unclean, though jurists from the Sunni Maliki school disagree.[24] However, outside their ritual uncleanness, Islamic fatāwā, or rulings, enjoin that dogs be treated kindly or else be freed.[25]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_dogs

The majority of both Sunni and Shi'a Muslim jurists consider dogs to be ritually unclean.[1] Most practicing Muslims do not have dogs as pets,[2] though dogs are allowed to be kept for guarding the house or farm, or when used for hunting purposes. Outside their ritual uncleanness, individual Islamic fatāwā, or rulings, have expressed that dogs be treated kindly or else be freed.[3]

xp, nevermind

And now we await SEALDogs from whichever the fuck studio brought us...whatever the fuck the last computer-animated anthropomorphic-dog movie was.

"These dogs have been bidin' their time...but soon they'll be bitin' Bin Laden!"

(cue "Bad To The Bone")

well right i knew that, but i guess i'm just skeptical of the idea that someone could think "oh well if XXX is muslim then they probably dislike dogs"

i wanna hug stubby the pit bull so bad

One thing I always wondered about is anybody's vehemence against war dogs, that it'd be cruel to bring them into combat zones. I'm somebody who supports the integration of animals into all facets of daily life, so this just seems like a part of it. Plus, if you have to go into a life or death situ, one could only assume that having your dog there would keep you sane.

Plus, there's a storied history of war dogs and mascots in Anglo-American history. They saved countless lives during the Pacific campaign, and if you want a great story with a bittersweet ending, read about Patton's bull terrier.

If something was big in ye olde Europe, official Islam mostly disapproves, is my impression.

xp dont tell me he was drivin the jeep

Close!

agreed

Werent the combat dogs in Vietnam left over there? they couldnt bring them back?

What did you think about the Daily News' headline, "Rot in Hell"?

I wasn't thrilled by it because bin Laden couldn't see those three words.

But didn't you agree with the sentiment?

It's easy to be a tough guy when no one's going to come knocking on your door. I thought of all those people--the ones who jumped out of windows, the firemen, people running down the jammed hallways trying to get out. I thought more of them--but I'm glad they got bin Laden. I have no sympathy whatsoever for him--he was a tall rich kid who thought God talked to him. He used money he'd never earned to kill people and called it a holy mission.

Isn't that what The Deer Hunter's about?

that's pete hamill btw

i thought that was what chrlie sheen's stage show was gonna be about

In March, Congressman Peter King (R-N.Y.) held hearings on Capitol Hill about Islamic faith and whether it was generating radical Islamists who become terrorists. Did you support his inquiry?

No. I thought the hearings were preposterous. Look, the most successful terrorist group in the United States for almost 70 years was the Ku Klux Klan. They hated Catholics, Jews, and blacks. They were prone to violence. In places such as Indiana, the Klan had more members than they did in Alabama. But even in those days, nobody suggested having an investigation of Christian churches because the vast majority of the guys with the hoods were Christians. I can't find anybody in the history of our country who ever had Congressional hearings into the Christian church as an instigator of violence. Peter King is a nice fellow, but he was badly served by his staff when he came up with that dumbbell idea.

oh that is awesome

"badly served by his staff" is such a hardbody zing

They had no idea how or program to rehabilitate the dogs from Vietnam afterwards, so they were destroyed. Read some interviews with the K9 guys and they're emotionally wrecked about it to this day.

Fortunately, things got better.

roo ront ro ran, roo rerrent rere

ROR

Aw, great great Hamill interview, that

Actually, sorry to apply lyfe to this, but my Asian and Somali neighbours are startled by dogs - I walk a whippet for my friend twice a week and if I'm walking him when school's just let out, I'm aware that the mums and small kids from Muslim families will jump back from even the smallest puppy. Mitigating circumstances: lots of numpty tracksuit guys and their Staffie/Bull Terrier/Mastiff/insert jowly drooly breed here. These guys kind of profile as bigots and their pets don't make a great intro to PUPPY for little kids or their parents who don't keep pets, but a 13-year-old attention-whore whippet with help-me eyes that enjoys being met with DOGGIE! by the other kids is not the dog to be frightened by.

Because they are my neighbours and I know them, I explain that this dog's nice and offer the 'petting zoo' experience and/or just try to look like a more friendly person if they are further away.

Just dont ask hammill about the Brooklyn Dodgers and their departure from New York. He makes a fool out of himself on that topic.

Bummed about the Vietnam dogs.

Bill, he only said he loves seeing the take-over?

Anyway, I know nothing about baseball so I'm not hindered by that

bin laden liked baseball ;_;

al-Qaeda means "the baseball" in Arabic.

FWIW, my wife used to live in Pakistan, and they had tons of trouble with their guards abusing their dog (and other dogs, too). Don't know how isolated that kind of stuff is, though I'd think twice about keeping a pet pig.

Bill, he only said he loves seeing the take-over?

^no, he has this weepy nostalgic thing about how the owners at the time (late '50s) left Brooklyn purely out of greed for the greener pastures of California. He says it was some sort of blow to the heart of Brooklyn or something stupid like that and he hates the family that owned the team for ripping the heart out of his hometown. The facts show something else. 1) the Dodgers were forced out of town by the city and 2) the Dodgers had terrible attendance, nobody really gave a fuck. So he's totally full of shit.

Ok, but he didn't say that in the interview linked above, which was what I was on about. (this is the only quote about it in there: "Oh, I love it. I'm the Brooklyn Dodger fan who will never forgive and never forget. There are few of us left. And the idea that this guy would steal the name of a great Irish-American writer—that's why penitentiaries exist."

"Peter King is a nice fellow"

this is more preposterous than any Dodger stuff

nice to have a poison with

i'm wondering if that "nice fellow" was delivered with a dose of something else.

arsenic iirc

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some of the first information gleaned from Osama bin Laden's compound indicates al-Qaida considered attacking U.S. trains, but U.S. officials say they have no recent intelligence indicating such a plot is active.

A Homeland Security intelligence warning sent to law enforcement officials around the country says as that of February 2010, the terror organization was considering tampering with an unspecified U.S. rail track so that a train would fall off the track at a valley or a bridge. The warning was obtained by The Associated Press and marked for official use only.

This information appears to be the first widely circulated intelligence pulled from the May 1 raid on bin Laden's secret compound. After killing bin Laden, Navy SEALs took computers, DVDs and documents from his house.
