Anyone hear the American lady on the radio news this morning?

They were doing vox pops of a select few revellers after the news of Osama's death and she said that she's glad that 'people are finally safe' now that he's gone. (fail)

As Steve said, the extremists exist in terrorist cells and won't be that much affected by missing what is essentially a figurehead.

After seeing the video footage of Bin Laden the BBC trawled out this morning, I was a little suprised at how softly spoken he was. I was expecting something more like Hitler at Nuremberg.

She's probably just narrowed her eyes a few times and looked 'round for suspicious people. It's the only way to weed 'em out.

It's what I do everytime I cross the county border into Lancashire. :-/

So Hitler wasn't dangerous?

Or do you mean to imply that Bin Laden and teh Throbman are /more/ dangerous than Hitler?

If that's true, well...

Damn.

MMM, yes. Never waste a good assassination.

As far as it goes, perhaps the U.S. forces did assassinate a bearded man, but maybe not Osama. Perhaps he died of kidney failure 8 years ago as has been proposed.

This certainly could be one of Oblame-a's last gasp efforts to secure re-election since he hasn't done anything else of import yet.

Perhaps if Osama isn'r really dead we could maybe get him to have a steel cage match with Oblame-a, then we could watch as two whack jobs beat the shit out of each other. My only hope would be that somehow both would lose.

I don't think that we in the U.S. should be crowing about it if we did kill bin Laden, because we have now become what we have been known to criticise. So who do we kill next, because there will be a next; there will be thoughts of revenge, and soon. Will Osama loyalists find a reporter's neck to sever?

I think we could have done it differently. I am sure Oblame-a would have criticised Bush if he would have been able to find Osama years ago, or at least Kerry would have criticised. Because Kerry would have done everything differently, especially with those three Purple Hearts. I don't think it is a good idea for the U.S. to get into the assassination business and I think it is in poor form for American citizens to rejoice in the murder of a man, regardless of the reason.

Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?

Brilliant? At what?

I'd suggest you visit for a spell. There are suits hanging in your closet with more brilliance. Dolt!

Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?

Brilliant at constructing a sentence, which is more than can be said for the previous one. The repeal of don't ask, don't tell. The extension of HIV/AIDS Funding as well as a LOT of other good health care moves including child nutrition. Tidying up hate crime prevention laws. Responding and acting with dignity in the face of blatant racism from dumb fucks like Trump and many others who insist he is either Muslim, non-American or lying about his education.

I just did visit for a spell and I own neither a suit nor a closet, so piss off.

Oblame-a? Really?

You destroyed any chance of people taking you even slightly seriously by doing that.

I heard Hitler was a Haribo man.

You can see the root cause of his many flaws right there.

Wonder how he'd have turned out if he ate more trifle? It's hard to imagine anyone settling down to a night of being evil after filling up on trifle.
