Ohhh, like you Islamic terrorists hadn’t wanted to kill us two days ago anyway. Riiiight. Bring it. We are so scared.

ROFL! Post of the day!

Our existence provokes revenge attacks.

LOL.

Now, I admit...when I heard about this, I wasn’t joyous. The whole thing was just grim for me, and has been for the last 10 years or so (except for this game, “Bin Laden Liquors” at http://www.thepcmanwebsite.com/media/shoot_bin_laden/shoot_bin_laden.shtml )

But this thread has given me a few laughs...especially your post...:) I wish I were there to apply some perfume as well.

Muslim clerics said Monday that Osama bin Laden's burial at sea was a violation of Islamic tradition that may further provoke militant calls for revenge attacks against American targets.

In other news, the sun rose in the east, which is expected to further provoke militant Islamist calls for revenge attacks against American targets.

Elsewhere, April showers brought May flowers, which is expected to further provoke militant Islamist calls for revenge attacks against American targets.

Turning to sports, the San Jose Sharks defeated the Detroit Redwings with a score of 2 to 1, which is expected to further provoke militant Islamist calls for revenge attacks against American targets...

Unless it was an aircraft carrier, I am sceptical.

It was dumped off of the Carl Vinson.

“I am sceptic of this burial at sea business. It’s 711 miles to the sea with double the occupants as one copter was down. The most important priority was to get back to base safely. So, we was the base? Unless it was an aircraft carrier, I am sceptical.”

—Plus, Reuters and NYT (via Jpost) reported that OBL’s body was taken to Afghanistan first, and then buried at sea- which would’ve made the total trip close to 1,000 miles I believe.

Speaking of burials, when Uday and Qusay Hussein were killed in a raid the military went to great lengths to make sure they were properly identified so as to avoid the questions of any skeptics. I don’t think they had a speedy burial either. Why didn’t they do this with Bin Laden?

The difference is most likely due to the difference in CIC.

Count you blessing, then could have feed him to the pigs but relented with concern about making the pigs sick.

They pop one nuke, we pop 3, and they get to pick the Arab targets in which millions of the bastards are destroyed.

His virgins are mermaids.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Then we should have wrapped him in bacon and buried him in a pig sty, since they are going to be offended no matter what we do.

[La Lydia]

Whatever the military did, the Muzlims were going to bitch and moan about it. As if they EVER worried about the customs and traditions and feelings of anyone else. I am so sick of them, they are vicious maggots. I want them to STFU and I want them out of our country.

[rabscuttle385]

And how do they feel about the bodies of our dead soldiers being dragged thru the streets of Mogodishu? Was that “keeping within Moslem law”? How do they feel about Jewish babies having their throats cut by their pals?

Never mind the U.S. contractors who were burned, dragged through the streets, and hung from the bridges of Fallujah.

Another winner, dead! LOL.

I sure hope you don't mind...I have been laughing since I saw your post the other day...:)
