Indeed.

I totally agree with Moh....

But how about this scenario.... if the world thinks you are dead... and you are held hidden in some safehouse... imagine the techniques they will employ to get you to talk... and then just dump your body afterwards...

I've been sick as hell since Wednesday night -- been bed most of the time. I can't help but think the Royal Wedding coverage didn't help with that...:)

There were some bright moments in the royal wedding coverage... Pippa Middleton's arse for instance. Very spankable.

I agree and I think the entire world does. Even my wife thinks so.:D

I think everybody the world over is happy that OBL's rightful end put a stop to the Royal wedding stories. And that includes the couple involved.

And as for Pippa's dress. I'm just glad I wasn't performing the wedding service. My eyes would be fixed on her and my tongue on the floor.

Quick change of subject I think.

Ok, back to OBL. Yes there will be more attacks in his names as a means to reveage him butwith all the attacks we've had over the last 10 years since 9/11 who can say we wouldn't have anymore attacks if he was still alive.

I very much doubt this war on terror will be over in my life time (I'm pushing 40 now), but if in one day more moons down the road if can bring a more peaceful world than surely the it's worth it in the long run.

Basically he was a figurehead, one head of the hydra which will soon be replaced.

While I agree with you that OBL has been uninvolved in AQs operations for quite a number of years (and it's more of an ideology than a structured movement anyway) there are suggestions that with his death (and with the death of Sheikh Sa'id about a year ago) that AQ will find it significantly more difficult to raise funds. Therefore his loss is significant to AQ, though not as much as certain elements of the western media would have you believe!

Have a look at the following article:

One commentator called her "the hottest maid-of-honor in the world."

Not only one. A french commentator made almost the same statement.;)

Panther Al 05-03-2011 02:13 PM

To push it slightly back on track... er... *looks at pics* um... Yeah, back on track. Yeah.

Anyways, dunno who all reads the The Whiteboard, but the best joke I have heard yet about it was told there:

Refering to the burial at sea, the real reason is they didn't want Elton John showing up and singing "A sandal in the Bin.."

dragoon500ly 05-03-2011 04:20 PM

Reference to OBL's burial at sea.....I wonder who signed off on the environmental impact statement?

Such a lovely...err dress!!!!

Don't worry. The remains dispersed pretty quickly once the sharks smelled the bourbon-infused bacon shroud.

Oh I don't know. I thought Beatrice's hat was an inspired choice. It drew attention away from her powerfully ugly face.

dragoon500ly 05-04-2011 11:17 AM

I remember waking up after a glorious party, hung-over like you wouldn't belive....and I swear I saw that hat coming out of the wall after me!!!

The horror, the horror!

Well, you could make chum by tossing his body, a dog corpse, a pig corpse, a few frogs, and some used feminine hygiene products through a Troy-bilt chipper/shredder to make everything quite unclean--for eternity.

I might misunderstand what I'm reading but I have the troubling feeling that this last comment should have been avoided.:confused:

Osama bin Laden- World Hide-and-Seek champion 2001-2011
 
An anagram of Osama bin Laden is
lob da man in sea.

Then there is the new special at Starbucks, the bin Latte:

Tall, skinny, quite dark with a frothy head with two shots in it!

dragoon500ly 05-05-2011 04:21 PM

Well, there was an ole NYPD ditty that went along the lines of...

"Twice to the chest and twice to the head and the asshole will be dead, dead, dead!"


Or to quote an old Army buddy...

"They should have flex-corded him to a satchel charge with a two-minute fuse...that would have been justice!"


On the other hand, we have a Vietnam era former SEAL...who is cheerfully accepting drinks from everyone in the office....in honor of his fellow SEALS...the SOB won't be sober enough to work until some time in mid-2012!!!!

If the comment troubles you, Mohoender, you understand the concept behind it--to truly tick off Osama's friends in a really lasting personally and culturally-specific offensive manner. Whether it would make them think twice about ever dealing harshly again with the crazy defiling infidels--who knows, it might. Unfortunately, it would probably also make our Muslim _friends_ very unhappy too.

There are bits and pieces of about 3000 Americans that were buried with the wreckage of the result of Osama's whims, because they couldn't be separated from the ruins. They wouldn't be too happy about what happened to them, or the manner in which it happened. Some of those killed were Muslim, so OBL gains no points for being a hero of his supposed religion, which has no bearing on the actual contents of the Qu'ran.

While I don't support the vengeance/revenge motive behind most comments about bin Laden's death (especially the dancing in the streets which just makes Americans look exactly like the badguys who danced in the streets when they displayed the bodies of US pilots shot down in Iraq), I am broadly in agreement with what WallShadow has said except for one point.
The death toll for the September 11th attacks wasn't approximately 3000 Americans. Although citizens of the USA obviously make up the majority of victims (approximately 2600) some 12% were foreign nationals. Ninety two countries lost people in those attacks, the United Kingdom alone losing over 60 people and India losing 41.

Obviously, yes I did. Altough my comment was in no way a defense of "Bin Machin", it simply comes from a simple fact: no reason to give way to hatred.

He is dead, fine.
May he rest in hell (I don't believe in that but fine).
About those who died from his exactions, may they rest in peace. They need your respect and consideration, not your hatred.

Thank you for reminding that.
