Bin Laden dead

[fifth element]

Dead and America is holding the body.


Boo-Yah!

I wonder what Muammar Gaddafi is thinking right now.

This is of course, according to Donald Trump, the worst president in the history of the US.

Well, this President did not want us in any of these wars, voted against them, tried to defund them, campaigned against them, and promised to get us out quickly if he was elected.

Now he takes credit for killing Bin Laden and will be viewed a hero.

Funny how shit works.

[Seshmeister]

Yeah it's all bullshit in a way. US presidents in particular just have to roll dice and take the outcome. For example look at Jimmy Carter, a helicopter breaks down and then another one crashes in a desert in Iran and he is personally at fault and kicked out.

Thatcher takes a big chance launching a war thousands of miles away for an island full of sheep when she is a way behind in the polls and it only takes the deaths of a few hundred troops and she wins a landslide.

Wow, never thought they'd kill him........with Bin Laden alive endless amounts of money could be spent and hundreds of jobs secure.

Now what bogeyman will keep us in perpetual fear?

BTW, I hope that fucker rots in a special place in hell.....where they feed him pork daily and he gets ass raped by Stalin!

Good News: This may slow down the military industrial complex a little
Bad News: Somewhere in Hollywood someone has just started the first draft of a shitty TV movie...

I fucking love all the people in front of the White House chanting USA! USA! USA!


Fuck yeah! Firecrackers going off in my neighborhood too. Very surreal.

Fly that flag with pride!!!!

Dude we both need to hold up our hands and say we backed the wrong horse.

Turns out that we were wrong to trust Bhutto when she said he was dead.

Maybe, but something about this ain't passing the smell test. Like this woman that Snuffy just had on the phone on ABC, claiming to be a relative of a passenger on the plane that allegedly hit the Pentagon. This woman was very obviously reading prepared talking points, and not speaking an honest reaction that one would expect from someone just hearing this news.

Here's an ironic twist though.....

8 years to the day that Chimpy put on his Halloween costume and stood in front of a banner claiming "Mission Accomplished", it now appears that the actual mission really WAS. (assuming the BCE 9/11 account is at all true, and we all know I really don't assume that.)

I'm a bit disappointed to see the bloodthirsty crowd jumping up and down outside the White House with the banners already.

I like to think that is something the primitive countries do. Since when did the USA become frickin Somalia?

How depressing, for a minute there I had forgotten there would have to be yet another fucking tiresome conspiracy arising out of this.

Well, here's some good news, I guess..... and let's hope it's just the beginning of the sanity I spoke of earlier......

Oil drops, Obama says Osama bin Laden is dead

SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- Oil prices dropped in Asian trading hours on Monday, down $1.13 at $112.80 a barrel on Nymex. The move came after U.S. President Barack Obama announced late Sunday that Osama bin Laden has been killed. Reports said that bin Laden, leader of the terrorist network Al-Qaida, was killed at a mansion outside the Pakistani capital Islamabad.

Can't wait to hear how they managed to destroy all the fortresses...

You guys do it in Scotland when you win a big soccer match.

We do it in the USA when we finally tag the reigning hide & seek champion.

Here's a picture that sums up the last week.......

[Seshmeister]

After watching the madness of people sleeping for days in the street to see a bald man go past in a carriage all bets are off on the stupidity of people in the UK.

I just think it's a bit tawdry to be out on the streets with banners celebrating some dick being killed but I understand it.
