President Obama may be doing his best to make the Democratic Party, home to the guy who oversaw the murder of the world's number-one terrorist kingpin, seem effete again by refusing to release photos of Osama bin Laden's corpse because, like, eww! It's covered in blood and stuff! Gross! Why do you guys even want to see that? But Reuters has no such qualms. It bought (outbid Gawker?) a series of photos taken by a Pakistan security official at the compound just an hour after the U.S. made their hit and left, and they're on the Internet. There's a lot of blood! But no weapons are anywhere to be seen, except for what appears to be a little green plastic water pistol halfway under one of the corpses. Uh, did these guys have actual weapons? Did the terrorists just want to have a Super Soaker fight in the yard with the SEALs, but the SEALs forgot their guns were real? Uhhhhh. [
The SEALS my dad drank with during the Vietnam war as a Naval Signal Intelligence officer were relatively moderate drinkers for the time, they have crazy discipline.
No, North Korea would lay waste to Seoul, unless you have something that can deal with 100's of artillery emplacements buried deep in mountains., all at once. Oh, and the 10 rounds a minute of artillery any surviving piece of 1000's will be pounding into the streets, high rises and animation studios. Are you willing to give up the Simpsons so North Korea can be free?
Yeah...I guess in the long view there would have no good way to do this. If OBL died in a firefight, he would have been an inspiration. If he had been killed execution style, the seals would be murderers. Meh...like I told a friend of mine, regardless of how I feel, I think most people could give me 3000+ reasons why they don't give a fuck. Besides...isn't this all ancient history now? It's been what...4 days? What's up next in the news cycle?
And snark aside...liberal that I am, I have to admit that many of the poorest of the poor in the US live better than many of the poors overseas. Now, don't blast me for this. I've never been outside of the US (I'm one of those near-poors) so I have no first hand experience.
Thanks for the clarification. Btw...I used to play a game called Steel Panthers via email named James Curley.
Ah yes...The Rascal King.

Habeas corpus. So to speak.
Stop making me relive my childhood you bastard!
That will, in fact, earn you a quieter environment.
His what?

The one thing keeping them from being completely silent.
Also, if you think Bin Laden is not actually dead, then produce him. Simple.
Joey?

Well, when I think of Arab Luxury, those groovy bachelor pads owned by Saddam Hussein come to mind. Did this place even have running water?

Well done!
