Osama, in addition to being a man who assassinated his mentor, in addition to claiming to revere the man he assassinated, in addition to selling out his own organization to suck up to Zawahiri's Egyptians, is a fraud, a liar, a hypocrite many times over, an apostate, and a coward.
The only battle he's ever been in, to the best of my knowlege, was when he and about 50 Arab mujas were surrounded at a place named Jaji, by a battalion of Soviets who already knew they were going home, starved and sniped for five days, and then bolted and ran for the Pak border.
On arriving in Miram Shah, Bin Laden began to produce videotapes and brochures acclaiming his "great victory" to all who would listen, a propaganda campaign that eventually escalated to the point where Osama himself now believes he personally defeated and caused the fall of the Soviet Union.
Whenever he fires the AK-47 rifle he supposedly liberated from a Soviet he supposedly killed, he closes his eyes and flinches, holding the weapon so far away from his delicate face he can't even line up the sights on a target. This is evident in every video he distributes which supposedly depict the great Bin Laden as a "warrior".
Though never a friend, his anti-US rhetoric campaign didn't begin with the establishment of Israel, the fall of the Shah, or even when the Saudi government laughed at the idea of Bin Laden's "army" defending Arabia from Saddam Hussein and liberating Kuwait, preferring the US Army instead.
Bin Laden's hatred of the US didn't begin until the day we levered him out of Sudan, in 1996, and his first warning to us wasn't issued until he arrived back in Jalalabad, Afghanistan.
The day we put five in his scraggley bearded, purple lipped head, I intend to celebrate with at least a full bottle of Kentucky's finest.
My best guess is that when he gets it, he will scream like a girl and offer to tell us anything we care to know in order to try and save himself. He won't die in clean robes either.
The only people I've ever heard actually ask "Why do they hate us" is the media, who simply uses that as an excuse to tell us what a bunch of jerks we are, over and over, ad nauseum, at every opportunity they get, and at many opportunities they connive to manufacture themselves.
I'd like to see your detailed comments in the MSM. Ever send emails like this to Fox et. al? I'd love to join you in toasting to OBL's demise.
