Wait For It...

...there will be a statue of Osama bin Laden right beside Michelangelo's David and La Pieta.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Syrian rebel 'beheaded in case of mistaken identity'

"An al-Qaeda affiliated rebel group in Syria is reported to have asked for forgiveness after beheading a fellow rebel in a case of mistaken identity.

A video recently posted online showed members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) brandishing the severed, bearded head of a man.

They said was (sic) an Iraqi Shia caught fighting on the government side.

But other rebel fighters watching the video recognised the man and said he was one of their commanders."

[---]

"In a separate development, activists said a senior figure in another Islamist rebel group had been killed in an air strike near Aleppo."

Just another story that makes me believe al Qaeda just hasn't got the stuff it use to have. Bin Laden's bones must be rattling at the bottom of the ocean.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Documents reveal al Qaeda's plans for seizing cruise ships, carnage in Europe

"On May 16 last year, a 22-year-old Austrian named Maqsood Lodin was being questioned by police in Berlin. He had recently returned from Pakistan via Budapest, Hungary, and then traveled overland to Germany. His interrogators were surprised to find that hidden in his underpants were a digital storage device and memory cards. Buried inside them was a pornographic video called "Kick Ass" -- and a file marked "Sexy Tanja.""

So that's how they recruit them. Porn Found in Osama Bin Laden Evidence Trove

"...the pornographic material was found in a wooden box in bin Laden's bedroom..."

Well, someone has to review, evaluate and select the material. It's a dirty job, but....

Well Tough!

Pakistan flood aid relief hurt by CIA's Osama bin Laden vaccination programme

"It is taking longer for aid workers to get visas for Pakistan – and some are being refused completely, according to agency staff. When they get there they then face new restrictions on their movement.

The deterioration in relations between Pakistani officials and aid agencies is said to have followed the CIA’s fake vaccination campaign earlier this year aimed at obtaining DNA samples from relations of Osama bin Laden."

Solve your own damn problems, then.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Barack Obama accused of crime against humanity for killing bin laden

Is this just a joke or is the world really upside down?

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Older bin Laden widows think younger wife tipped off US

"THE three widows of Osama bin Laden are turning on each other in custody, with two older Saudi women blaming a much younger Yemeni wife for leading American intelligence to their hideout.

"It's vicious," said a Pakistani official briefed on the interrogation of the widows. "The older wives think the younger one tipped off the Americans or was tracked when she came to join him."

The al-Qa'ida leader was living with three wives when he was killed in Abbottabad three weeks ago."

[---]

"Although the compound where bin Laden hid for five years was large, the three wives were all cooped up in the same house. The older two lived on the second floor and the youngest one on the top. Their husband alternated between them. Pakistani officials who have been debriefing the women portray life in the compound as an Islamic version of Desperate Housewives."

[---]

""The joke in Pakistan is that Bin Laden called in his location to CIA because he was being driven mad cooped up for five years with so many wives and children," said Rehman Malik, Pakistan's interior minister"

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

So, bin Laden was Into Porn...

...and he was hiding in plain sight in Pakistan. Brings to mind this earlier entry. So what's Pakistan most upset about? That the Yanks violated their sovereign territory or that their predilection to watching smut has been plastered all over the international media?

And speaking of Pakistan, Lawrence Solomon writes an interesting article about the inter-ethnic tensions in Pakistan and their historical origins, which, luckily, I suppose, correspond to geographic regions (which is probably why they arose in the first place.)

Not much can be done about that, though, I would think, short of nuking the place, but they do have nukes, which are probably aimed at India and we need India on our side, or at least neutral.

Waiting for CBC to Report This

Canada on bin Laden's list of targets, again.

"The Sunday Telegraph has learned that Britain was one of six countries – along with the US, Canada, Israel, Germany and Spain – identified as a target for terror strikes in the intelligence haul. Officials did not disclose specific plots or threats."

h/t BCF

"As US and European domestic security officials step up counter-terror operations amid concerns of a "lone wolf" or terror cell revenge attacks to avenge bin Laden's killing, Pakistan's intelligence services have withdrawn co-operation with their American counterparts.

Agents with the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) directorate are refusing to share details of suspects or plots in protest at the US operation to kill bin Laden, raising the potential threat of attacks on Western cities."

I say it's time we dropped a few bombs on some capital cities in the Muslim world. Or hot bacon grease. CBC would report that, I'm sure.

Why I Am Not....

...a practicing Christian.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I guess he hadn't put the porn videos into the VCR yet.

OSAMA Bin Laden was shot dead wearing just his underpants, a US senator revealed yesterday.

Timing was a bit off, but other than that....

PS: Read the comments at Rantburg. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Sorry, But I Have An Excuse

Blogger was offline for several hours and I couldn't get into the inner sanctum to post anything new. Today, now that it's back up, I've got too much on my plate to do much blogging and it will probably stay that way for the next couple of weeks or more, so, find something else to do, fer Christ sake. Spring has sprung. Enjoy it while it lasts.

One thing I am following is the stunning confessions and Mia Culpas coming from the media about their favourite political party, the Libs. They really do believe the Libs have suffered a near fatal blow. What they haven't quite admitted yet, though, is that the nearly fatal blow has hit them, too, so it will be interesting to watch as they assume the fetal position.

Oh. And this is pretty funny:

Extensive Porn Stash Reportedly Found in Bin Laden Compound

Whether it's true or not, who knows or cares. If it is true, it's hilarious. All those wives, but he still needs porn. Hah!!

If it isn't, then it must be a plot by those evil Americans to embarrass the mighty hero. Might backfire, though. I can imagine there would be a lot of frustrated young Muslim males who might want to sign up just so they can watch porn, especially since there's a shortage of eligible women, given all the polygyny so prevalent in the Muslim world

PS: Speaking of the Liberal media, read this bit from the Globe and Mail and the comments. This particular liberal media organ is not getting the sort of response it had hoped for, me thinks.

And here's a whole bunch more. It's truly amazing how arrogant the Liberals remain. Without swallowing a good dose of humble pie, I don't think the Liberals have a hope in you know where of surviving. Take this, for example, from The Star:

"A Liberal Canada is where fairness, equality of opportunity, tolerance, and social justice are fundamental values. It is a Canada that is a moderate, reasonable and respected voice in the world."

And the Conservatives are not, I suppose. Perhaps the author could explain to me how the fair and tolerant Liberal Party gave us our draconian human rights commissions and how the doctrine of political correctness was allowed to flourish under its watch?

One of the biggest problems the Liberals have is, having constructed a narrative based on lies, they proceeded to believe the narrative and have gone so far as to live entirely in a falsely constituted fairytale about their own place in the body politic and about conservatives.

Not even falling to third place has awakened them. It will be interesting to see if they can pull themselves out of their fairytale world. I doubt if they will. There aren't enough humble-berries to make enough humble pies.

And besides, even if they manage to reinvent themselves, their current legacy represents all that is wrong with contemporary Canadian society. Quite simply, in the process of reinvention, the capital L liberal brand will have to cease to exist. But they show no signs of accepting that reality. Who would? Goodbye Libs.

PPS: The media is already dredging up the old tactics.  Pssst, folks. It didn't work last time. What makes you think it will work now? Political correctness is dead. Don't you get it? Sheesh, you people are dense.

And the Answer Is...(drum roll).....Fish Food!!!

Why did they bury bin Laden at sea?

"The decision to dispose of the body at sea, experts say, came out of a concern that a gravesite might become a shrine to the terrorist who masterminded the 9/11 attacks. Besides, U.S. officials said, no country seemed eager to become the final resting place for bin Laden’s remains. Even his native Saudi Arabia is reported to have refused to accept what was left of him.

And though the decision to dispose of him at sea was dictated by pragmatism, according to the official narrative, the burial did not neglect cultural sensitivity. Though Muslims usually lay their dead to rest in the ground with the head pointed toward the holy city of Mecca, U.S. officials say that bin Laden’s body was washed and shrouded according to the Islamic rite, and the burial occurred less than 24 hours after death, as prescribed by tradition.

Yet toeing the line between practicality and political correctness has landed the White House at the centre of criticism. Soon after details of the burial began circulating, a slew of Muslim clerics and scholars were shaking their heads in disapproval. A burial at sea “runs contrary to the principles of Islamic laws, religious values and humanitarian customs,” said Sheik Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar mosque. Others rejected the notion, circulating on several Western news outlets, that a Muslim’s burial at sea is acceptable in extraordinary circumstances, and the Obama administration’s inability to find a country to take bin Laden’s remains constituted one of those exceptions. That isn’t the case, said Mohammed al-Qubaisi, Dubai’s grand mufti. Some even warned that the handling of bin Laden’s body is an insult to Muslims, and could possibly be grounds for retaliation against American targets."

BULL!! SHIT!!

Any excuse will do, and it matters not how they handled the old psychopathic one's remains, the good Islamist will use it as an excuse to foment more anger and lust for vengeance.

"A Facebook page called “Osama bin Laden NOT DEAD” launched almost immediately, and now counts 925 registered fans."

I wonder how many of those fans could tell us why the sea he was dumped into is called the Arabian Sea? Or what happened to Arab traders who died at sea from the days of the formation of the Arab/Islamic empire to its height and eventual decline or why the Arabs themselves called it the Indian Sea, a land far away by Medieval standards, and difficult to reach overland, or for how many centuries before Mohammed the Arab trader plied these waters? Do those fans know about Ibn Battuta, the Arab Marco Polo, and his sea voyages along the East African coast? Are they aware that even the great Chinese explorer, Cheng Ho, who sailed the eastern seas long before Columbus and Magellan, was a Muslim?

What a crock!!

And please don't even attempt to pretend that sea-faring travelers and traders in the Middle Ages didn't encounter, die from, take advantage of and spread deadly diseases from port to port or would sometimes, when not at port, have to throw human remains over-board. You know, there was this thing about fleas and rats and ships and disease.

As someone in the comments at the first link at the top of this entry said:

"Someone should write a book on what insults muslims... oh wait that would be 1000 pages long, maybe it's easier to write one on what isn't an insult to muslims."

Enough, thank you. If you can't shut up, I wish the MSM would at least quit giving you above the fold exposure. But I'm not holding my breath. If it wasn't for that fact that communicable diseases neither respect political borders, nor recognize nor distinguish between idiocy and insightful analysis, I would wish a pox on Dar al-Islam.

“If you see it, shoot it. It is a house full of bad guys.”

A fascinating account of the intelligence and maneuvers of the Navy SEALs' bin Laden operation:

"The main three-story building, which had no telephone lines or Internet service, was impenetrable to eavesdropping technology deployed by the National Security Agency.

U.S. officials were stunned to realize that whenever Kuwaiti or others left the compound to make a call, they drove some 90 minutes away before even placing a battery in a cellphone. Turning on the phone made it susceptible to the kind of electronic surveillance that the residents of the compound clearly wished to avoid."

RTWT

And We're Supposed To Care?

The media is flogging another story to death that no one cares about:

bin Laden was unarmed

BWAAAAAAAAAA! It's so unfair.

Ace of Spades HQ

...speaks for me.

Great vids at Outremer United.

Hmmmmmm

"The assault force of Navy SEALs snatched a trove of computer drives and disks during their weekend raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound, yielding what a U.S. official called “the mother lode of intelligence.”"

I wonder what they'll find?

At any rate, the news was met with so much shoulder shrugging in the Arab world. It's good riddance to bad rubbish, I guess.

Al Qaeda on the ropes? Little Arab outrage over Osama bin Laden's death

I've Been Thinking...

UPDATE: Oh, I should add, too, that it would be good if he was alive when they pitched him out of the aircraft. Essential, in fact.
==================================
...dangerous as that is, but what if bin Laden was alive when they threw him to the sharks? Seems from the evidence at the compound that there might have been lots of blood smeared all over him. Enough to draw the sharks in from miles away.

Shark food. Think about it. Wouldn't that have been the perfect ending to his life?

Maybe they'll make a movie someday and use this ending. Better make sure I get my cut.

It's Official

Bin Laden buried at sea.

A Perfect Ending...

...to a great weekend:

Osama bin Laden dead, President Obama says



Next up.

Three Reports

UPDATED AND BUMPED:

Oliver North confirms Mullah Omar capture

Still not sure if I believe it, though.

Full story here.

"“Why would the ISI (Pakistan's intelligence service) take down ‘one of their own?’” I asked. The answer came in a mixed metaphor but the meaning was clear: “The ISI intends to be in the driver’s seat when the ‘Peace Talks’ get underway in Afghanistan later this month. And the ISI officers calling the shots know Mullah Omar is the best bargaining chip they have.”

None of this bodes well for the “Consultative Peace Jirga,” on which Mr. Obama has now placed his imprimatur. Some of those watching preparations for the “peace talks” predict a call for an immediate, Vietnam-style, “cease fire” as a pre-condition for the conference – and a demand to grant Mullah Omar – Osama bin-Laden’s closest ally – safe haven in Saudi Arabia. If the O-Team agrees to any of this, it will be akin to putting perfume on a skunk."

Well that explains a lot, including why there is so little verified info about his supposed capture.

====================================
Mullah Omar Captured!

Capture of Mullah Omar Confirmed

Mullah Omar Captured

I don't believe it, either. Still, if this is true, it would be nice to know why Pakistan is holding him.  Is he singing? Are there more round-ups in the offing? Is Pakistan's government worried about the potential payback?

This would be a major sting, if so and The One could claim that bin Laden was finally caught while on his watch.  Big boost for him, which he sorely needs.

But they have captured another big one with links to bin Laden.
