Osama Bin Laden Dead!

[JOE SOAP]

I personally think that anyone who delights in the death of another person- any person- is seriously sick in the fucking head.

Yeah- it does seem a little bit... well... weird, doesn't it?!?

Except when they're made with sticks of graphite.

Ever the student idealist, eh richmond? Never mind, you go on wringing your hands while i, and the rest of everyone who lives in the real world, will continue to be very pleased that a Very Bad Man has been killed. Perhaps you could tell all those people celebrating, including Obama, and the relatives of those he murdered, that they are 'sick in the fucking head'. And stop being so patronising while youre about it, you chump.

Here's an idea- go fuck yourself.

That patronising enough for you- you chump.

If anyone here hasn't seen the Adam Curtis documentary 'The Power of Nightmares' now would be a good time to do so. It shows what a joke the 'War on Terror' really is.

I really hope there isn't a Bin Laden-themed episode of Doctor Who coming up, or this board might spontaneously combust.

Just saw this on FB:

'Well I just spent a month with Malachai writing "Axe Cop VS. Al Qaeda" for nothing!!'

This is no different to any other situation where an uneducated mass of people who are fed propaganda during wartime and celebrating a defeat of their enemy which by default involves killing/murdering/call it what you like.

The fact this announcement is being celebrated means that further overseas wars and occupations/"Humanitarian" missions will be supported particularly as there is more on the menu in North Africa and the Middle East and elsewhere.Wether or not the celebrating is distasteful or justified its only a superficial celebration as all there is to celebrate is more of what we have had for the last 10 years so there is really nothing to celebrate in the long term.

The announcement and media spectacle is pure Jingoism and it will exasapate the situation regarding Muslim Extremism so it was highly irresponsible/stupid if taken at face value but i dont take things at face value very much.

Obama will very shortly announce that Emmanuel Goldstein has been killed by SpecOps in a dawn raid.

Has anyone else noticed that the scene of the alleged incident [Abbotabad] is 800miles + from the nearest coast and at the same time we are told that Bin Laden was buried at sea yet we are told by official  sources that the body was moved to Afghanistan/Baghram Air base 230 miles away where it was subjected to various formalities[DNA testing usually takes weeks/months but Baghram air base must have been equipped with the facilities to conduct thorough and extensive DNA testing in an hour or two] and then flown a minimum of 800 miles to the coast[an undisclosed location as no details on this have been provided from official sources] where it was presumably loaded onto a ship out at sea and all within 12 hrs of the alleged assault happening.That is remarkable in itself

[M.I.K.]

Glad the nasty man is dead = understandable.

Celebrating nasty man being dead and making "woop, woop" noises etc; = not understandable.

There's nothing to celebrate. Everyone who was dead before is still dead and things are still as dangerous as they were before, if not more so.

Clever, richmond, so very clever. I prostrate myself before the world's greatest living wordsmith.

You cant see it, but im flicking v's at you.

I imagine this morning, as Frank Miller was just putting the finishing touches to his latest Batman masterpiece, the final panel as the Dark Knight twists Osama's spine [snaps] 'whatever life is in him flutters away' or some shite like that.

Frank hears the latest on Fox News, slowly rolls up the entire novel and smokes it until his black-ink lungs explode. Damn deadlines.
