Hey! What if this was one of those TV-camera guided missiles? When do we get to see the look on Yomamma's face as he gets blown to itty-bitty pieces? Ought to be great film.

Clinton's boy Cohen would have said: "We materially degraded the capacity for nominal body fuctions.
To: RightWhale
It would be a miracle if they killed bin Laden with this strike, since he has been dead almost 2 months. Not having the body to prove it though has become a mojor pain in the a$%

Not having the body to prove it Over a period of time the silence from OBL will be as effective as, maybe more effective than producing a box of bones. They'll never find the bones anyway.

The Predator does have cameras on it that let the ground crew aim the Hellfires it carries. I've been saying for a long time that we could defer some of the costs of the war by showing these hits on pay-per-view.
To: RightWhale
...maybe more effective...
Agreed. If the 20+ operatives are still in the US, they may be waiting for orders. This is more time to track them down.

"U.S. forces in Afghanistan were preparing to take possession of as many as
60 more Taliban and al Qaeda prisoners held by Afghan forces"
Why? So we drag their sorry asses to Gitmo, where every do gooder goes "Tsk, tsk"?
Turn their sorry asses over to General Dostum, so they talk or and let him make "traks"

Osama Paki-pool Update:

Osama bin DEAD-pool![](http://www.dartboard411.com/newdb411/websitepics/abc/binladendartboard100.jpg)
Pick a day! Any day! Or flag me for a QikPik!
Update
|
In the past week, sightings of Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan have surpassed those of Elvis in Vegas. Is it almost over for the Scumbeard of the Year? Or are these all wild goose chases? What day do you think he's learn the truth about the 72 virgins and the 28 little boys?
Or are you even in the game? Still plenty of open dates, so flag me on this thread (not my mailbox) if you want in. As you've noticed, since he doesn't look like he'll make it to Pakistan, I went ahead and changed the name of the pool. Sue me.
KayEyeDoubleDee raised a good question a while back... What's the effective time zone for the pool? I should have established this earlier, so I think the only fair thing to do is say that it's whatever Time Zone bin Laden is killed in (or appears in Pakistan, which seems increasingly unlikely.)
In the event that bin Laden turns out to have been killed already, we'll wait until a reliable forensic report (meaning, the stage of maggot development on his rotten carcass) before declaring a winner. |
ANNOUNCEMENT
from Recovering_Democrat
SABERTOOTH'S POOL IS NOW GOING TO BE CONSIDERED THE POOL FOR THE WINNER. RECOVERING DEMOCRAT WILL DONATE $25 TO FR IN THE NAME OF THE WINNER OF **SABERTOOTH'S** POOL!
(sorry folks. I didn't know there was a pool already going! I meant to do something ORIGINAL. No need to have two going at once, so I'll rely on Sabertooth to provide the name of the winner! Thanks ST! rd) |
Hey, thank YOU, RD! As far as I'm concerned, if you thought of it yourself, it's original. And I doubt I was the first But it was your great idea to give $25 in the name of the winner to Free Republic. If you don't mind, I think I'll match that, in addition to posting a glory thread with the winner's name on it. henbane

If you're unsure what the whole "Paki-pool" idea was about, click this link to a thread posted by Travis McGee on October 25th...
Will Osama Appear In Pakistan?
The operating theory is was that Osama bin Laden had a plan all along to show up in Pakistan, have himself declared the "Imam al-Mahdi" (a long-prophesied Islamic savior-figure), and start a civil war in an attempt to gain control of Pakistan's nukes. Sound crazy? So is he. Crazy evil. It's still an interesting read. |
Here's another:
Black Flags of Islam
Portents of the Imam al-Mahdi, the Moslems' prophesied deliverer of Jerusalem?

That's what's meant by killing someone dead.

Over a period of time the silence from OBL will be as effectiveThe mystery of not knowing wuld bother me more then if I saw proof that he was still alive through some video that showed him holding a newspaper with today's date. I want him dead and I want to see it with my own eyes. If all of the sudden GW went missing and the Taliban was proclaiming they killed him, what do you think the reaction would be?
Oh an what abut that scum Mullah Omar?

"Over a period of time the silence from OBL will be as effective "More effective. The choice is between a dead martyr and a hiding coward.
There will be more rumors of sighting BinLaden then there are of Elvis.
He will have worked at every convience store in America, delivered everyone's cousin a pizza, and driven taxis in every city.

Perhaps they killed his clone, born from an implantation of his blastocyst into a goat...
To: Sabertooth
Voices in my head are telling me that Osama was killed on my birthday, Jan 13. I believe the voices. Please declare me the winner. Thanks.
Since it grows increasingly likely that no one will know that exact date Osama died, my methodology is as good as any other, in fact better from my point of view.
