my ipad told me

i was watching a season 4 mad men episode and refreshing ilx

I'm not trying to be funny. I'm pissed off.
Who knows what sorts of disinformation will continue to spread and how many people will eat it whole

let's take a moment to think of the budding comedy writer who was controlling his fake twitter account -- what will become of his career aspirations?

Although I kind of dug David Gregory's whole flashlight-under-the-chin ghost-story delivery.

I'd rather have Bin Laden hiding for many more years than have Obama get the credit...and guaranteed re-election. How could Bush fail for 8 years and Obama gets him in just a few? Ugh.

Now at the Phillies/Mets game, the fans are chanting USA and OBAMA. This is the worst possible news.

x-post lol yes re: gregory

omg thread's too fast

no one had bin laden!

Dead Pool 2011

i will always remember. i was at an anime convention, watching "full metal panic" in a dark conference room when i got bored and opened twitter on my iPhone.

RIP BIG MAN

I hope Obama just comes out and goes 'WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE HOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE???'

^^winner xp

^Seconded

@estekella - ROFFLES and OTM (pardon the pun).

Man I wish he'd bring Biden out with him for the statement. We need some giddy.

i'd thought a few times lately how fucked up and depressing it was gonna feel when we hit the 10 year mark with him still alive and out there, but now that he's not, it's like oh yeah nothing about 9/11 or anything that's happened since feels any less fucked up and depressing

yeah i mean whatever fuckin' kill the guy but i feel p. neutral about it

The news comes eight years to the day that President George Bush declared "Mission accomplished" in Iraq

Just got word that will shock the world - Land of the free...home of the brave DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!

On March 14th, Obama called his national-security advisers into the White House Situation Room and reviewed a spreadsheet listing possible courses of action against the Abbottabad compound. Most were variations of either a JSOC raid or an airstrike. Some versions included coöperating with the Pakistani military; some did not. Obama decided against informing or working with Pakistan. “There was a real lack of confidence that the Pakistanis could keep this secret for more than a nanosecond,” a senior adviser to the President told me. At the end of the meeting, Obama instructed McRaven to proceed with planning the raid.

superman, rambo and clint must've been having a pretty slow week when the NYer decided to base its portrayal of obama on them.

"I trust Obama not to use the powers he just signed into law (in spite of neverending evidence), and surely they will be repealed before a Mormon dog-roofer possesses them."

morbs, your goal-post shifting, unwillingness to engage with those engaging with you, obtuseness, etc is legendary but today's apparently a banner day.

o i c

oh idk, there's a lot about the BL raid that's nasty, and while i'm wearily jaded about its use politically, that's pretty nasty too.

I am sure glad killing OBL at least put an end to all that airport security Terror Theatre, I'll give ya that!

t/f: extralegal black hits are bad but if anyone on earth deserved one it's osama bin laden

the trouble is the capability to do the thing doesn't exist in a vacuum; OBL might have been 'exceptional' as a person but the act of killing him turns out not to be

tbh it said more about the state of things re: Pakistan/US than anything

you know pre-9/11 i had an opportunity to work at lawrence livermore national lab on a naval oceanography environmental remediation project that was yanked because they didn't think it was worth the effort to try to get a security clearance for a nationalized citizen who was born in iran

where was the aclu on that day is what i wanna know

uh...

true story! (joeks bruv)

:(

oh man did i just kill the thread??

:-(

nah

The fact is, OBL was in a sovereign nation that is nominally an ally, but an absolutely unreliable and often hostile one. That also meant that taking the legal path, by formally sharing info with the Pakistani government, obtaining its permission and planning a joint operation, with OBL taken into their custody until extradition could be arranged, was more or less a doomed option. Once legality is taken off the table, it is entirely off the table.

My reaction to the whole thing is still kind of mouth-hanging-open awe in that it was "Hey, sorry Pakistan but we found Osama hiding in your country so we sent an elite kill squad in. Uh, what is up with him being in your country anyway? Kind of weird, hope you don't mind. Love, US"

Bin Laden is the new Titanic

Unless they somehow tagged the body or container with a locator beacon or something, no one is ever finding that.

Conspiracy theorists just got a new tank of high-octane...

Newly released emails say no sailors watched bin Laden’s burial at sea after Navy SEAL raid

WASHINGTON — Internal emails among U.S. military officers indicate that no sailors watched Osama bin Laden’s burial at sea from the USS Carl Vinson and traditional Islamic procedures were followed during the ceremony.

The emails, obtained by The Associated Press through the Freedom of Information Act, are heavily blacked out, but are the first public disclosure of government information about the al-Qaida leader’s death. The emails were released Wednesday by the Defense Department.

Conspiracy thoughts: this guy sold his story to Hollywood (a breach of govt contract) and so the govt says "peace, good luck".

Happy almost anniversary.
