Osama Bin Laden Unarmed When Shot? So Were Most Of His Victims!
2011-05-05 21:24:00 Osama Bin Laden Unarmed When Shot? So Were Most Of His Victims! When news first surfaced that Osama bin Laden had been "double-tapped" while unarmed I was a bit apprehensive if that was the correct course of action to take or not. However, military operations like the one carried out in Abbottabad, Pakistan, which claimed the life of Osama bin Laden, come with all sorts of risks.
I am not celebrating the death of Osama Bin Laden. I'm not.
2011-05-05 08:00:00 I am not celebrating the death of Osama Bin Laden. Yes, I am happy that he's dead, but I will not celebrate the death of another human being, even a vicious, murdering psychopath. In fact, "happy" isn't really the right word. I'm relieved he's dead. No, not relieved, as if he were a beloved uncle who has gone to a better place after a long illness. I'm more like? well, not gratified, exactly. I can't be gratified at the death of a fellow human being. Not even a butchering madman who stretches the definition of humanity. I'm not sure what the right word is for what I'm feeling. Not comforted, surely. There's cold comfort in the violent death of a fellow human being, even a complete fucking asstard like Osama Bin Laden. Mollified? No. Appeased? No, that's no good either. I guess what I'm saying is that while I am pleased that justice has been done, the fact is that trading death for death can never? Shit. Pleased? What the hell is that? I'm pleased that justice has been...
Nine goofiest conspiracy theories about Osama bin Laden's alleged deat
2011-05-04 23:12:00 Well, that caps it: President Barack Obama's refusal to release the pictures of the dead Osama bin Laden proves that....well, it's hard to summarize the nutty conspiracy theories that started taking hold the second that it was disclosed that his body was dumped into the sea. Here are nine of my favorite moronic theories:...
Refelction on the Death of Osama Bin Laden
2011-05-03 22:51:00 Osama Bin Laden was killed Sunday May 1, 2011 in Pakistan, during an attack initiated by the US Navy SEALs. Both of my Brothers joined the United States Marines Corps as well as many close friends. In fact I have a friend who was killed fighting against terrorist, and fighting for our freedom. So I could not get the strength to write about Osama's demise just yet. I like, every American citizen needed time to think and reflect. On September 11, 2001 I was in the fifth grade and our class watched in horror as we curled under desks. For me having lost my little sister two years prior to the attacks, death was not strange to me, but the...
WATCH: Late Night Comics Roast Osama Bin Laden's Death And Burial At S
2011-05-03 18:30:00 Not sure it went QUITE like this.If you were expecting America's late night hosts to take a somber approach to Osama Bin Laden's death - hopefully you went to bed early.Last night, they pulled no punches - offering zingers, parody videos and more.If you're one of the people out there who hasn't stopped smiling over the past few days, you'll probably find most of the below videos quite funny. See something I missed? Find all of this completely tasteless and in bad form? You should probably stop here.

The killing of Osama bin Laden
2011-05-03 15:59:00 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The killing of Osama bin Ladenby R. Lee Wrights BURNET, Texas (May 3) – It will not be a popular thing to say, but the truth is the truth. I am deeply saddened by the death of Osama bin Laden. His demise is not cause for rejoicing, in my opinion. That is why I am perhaps even more troubled by the spectacle of Americans celebrating and dancing in the street to the chant of "U.S.A, U.S.A," whipped up into a patriotic frenzy and oblivious to the reality that this was an illegal and immoral act which offends the very values which makes us who we are. I must admit, this is one of the most troubling things I have experienced in my lifetime. The patriot in me wants to breathe a sigh of relief that the war is over and we can go back to life before Bin Laden. But reality ruins the moment as I realize what has happened, and know life will never be the same again. This military action ordered by the President of the United States not only violated every fundamental be...
The Osama Bin Laden Gene
2011-05-03 04:53:00 Taking her by force wasn't the answer. More than one teacher learned that mistake. She'd punch. She'd kick. She'd even bite. The wisdom the other children chose was the same people near suicide bombers choose: jump back and stay low. When Osara flipped they'd dash like Iraqis from al-Qaeda.

Osama Bin Laden's Death... or Musings on the Death of a Madman
2011-05-03 03:49:00 Osama Bin Laden is dead. He can never hurt any of us again, and his life will live in the utter dark recesses of infamy, along with Hitler and other soulless dictators. America can rejoice in the fact that, while the war won't cease and terrorism won't die away because the figurehead and cornerstone has been killed, we now have been avenged by killing this man. The blood on our hands is righteous and honored.
Was fishing affected by Osama bin Laden?
2011-05-02 19:19:00 We have had many great fishing spots on our lakes and rivers become off limites because of what bin Laden has done on September 11th. Power plant and water filtration areas which were open to fishing and often great spots to catch fish were no longer fishable.

Osama Bin Laden is Dead, Plant a 'Peace' Rose in Your Garden
2011-05-02 18:41:00 On Sunday night President Obama addressed the country to inform us that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. Coincidentally, 66 years to the date the world learned that Hitler had committed suicide. While many are celebrating this historic occasion my- thoughts are turning to the victims of 9/11, the soldiers and innocent civilians that have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. While the word "peace" can only be found once in the remarks by President Obama on Osama Bin Laden, that's what I'm thinking of today. Rosa 'Peace' is said to be the most widely planted rose in the world. It was developed by French horticulturist -;Francois Meilland, and was set to be introduced prior to World War II where it was to be named in honor...
Osama Bin Laden brought to justice..will it unify U.S.?
2011-05-02 18:06:00 Every once in a while there are events where people forget their individual differences and bond together for the sake of the larger group. The tragic events of 9/11 was one such time. It inspired unity in a time when the country was polarized by political ideology. There were heroic actions performed by everyday people. The whole country came together to do what they could for those who had suffered tragic loss. Sadly, that unity was short-lived. It wasn't long before politicians were seeking to capitalize on the tragedy and the swirl of emotion that ensued. Some people were angry, some were sad, and most were confused by the unimaginable tragedy they had just witnessed. Most of all, Americans wanted...
Osama Bin Laden is gone: 9/11 Thoughts from a New Yorker in Chicago
2011-05-02 17:58:00 As I'm sure you've heard by now, Osama Bin Laden is dead. To many, the events of 5/1/11 stir up a lot of memories and feelings of relief, joy, anger or sadness. I was living in Brooklyn at the time of the 9/11 attacks and the post that follows is a recount of my 9/11 experience which I wrote 5 years ago that I thought would be an interesting read today. Before I get to that I'd like to share some of the best insight I've seen on yesterday's events from Facebook: "I am not certain human beings will know world peace until we can equate justice with reconciliation instead of retaliation." -Jenn Kloc "So it took 10 years for...

Osama bin Laden Killed Near the Pakistan Border: Now What?
2011-05-02 17:26:00 The news of the killing of Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 attack, shook the World last night! It was if we had all but given up on finding him and then in a minute he was gunned down by U.S. forces and declared dead! It was a victory for Americans and their families who lost their lives in 9/11, yet what about the followers of bin Laden? It has been nearly a (10)-year hunt for Osama bin Laden with leads that always seemed to go, nowhere. Bin Laden made it through illness and distress, only to flee into hiding when the U.S. was close to finding him. He was like a ghost, vanishing before he...
Osama Bin Laden and other FBI Most Wanted
2011-05-02 17:22:00 The capture of the FBI (and the world's) most wanted fugitive got me wondering about J.Edgar Hoover's iconic list. It doesn't date back to the Al Capone days, but actually got its start in early 1949. According the FBI, a United Press reporter wrote an article for the Washington Daily News about the Bureau's "Most Wanted Fugitives." The Feds gave them a list of ten criminals it considered most dangerous. It was so popular that Hoover created the "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" in March of the following year. There used to be those ubiquitous posters in your local post office. Now of course, everything is online. The official website is fbi.govBelow are some interesting anecdotes and photos of some past...

Am I unAmerican for not being amped about Osama Bin Laden's death?

LifeSense: Osama Bin Laden Finally Gone & "Mission Accomplished&qu
2011-05-02 08:09:00 Back to Design NEXT Time...but I feel I must honor today and digress (a different side of Claire) today. Just a few words: One of the Historic days of our lifetime: the death of Osama Bin Laden. Finally, there is some Vindication for New Yorkers and the other victims, if only in spirit. Bin Laden was shot in the head during a firefight at a mansion in a highly populated in Pakistani area where no one uniformed would ever have looked. He was pretty much "hiding in plain sight" and President Obama kept plans for the assault from the Pakistanis. No one knows how many knew of his secret location. NO internet at this home and garbage was burned, not thrown out: two...
Impact Of Osama Bin Laden Death On Obama's Reelection Chances
2011-05-02 07:53:00 This is another one of those posts that has nothing to do with real estate but I found this pretty interesting. Perhaps you are wondering what the killing of Osama Bin Laden has just done for Obama's chances of getting re-elected in 2012. Well here's the answer: it's worth a 10 percentage point increase in the odds - at least as of this moment. How do I know this? Well, I look to Intrade for answers to questions like this. Intrade is a prediction market - sort of like an odds market or parimutuel online betting parlor. In the course of the last couple of hours the Obama reelection contract went from a 60% chance of him getting re-elected...

Ding Dong, Osama Bin Laden is dead
2011-05-02 05:58:00 Nine years, seven months and twenty days. That's how long we have waited to hear that the most wanted terrorist in the world is dead. And not just dead, we all wanted to know that he was killed by our military, by AMERICAN forces and operations. Bravo to our troops for their fearless and heroic pursuit of this madman who orchestrated the attacks on 9/11. The attacks that left huge, gaping holes in the hearts of the families who lost loved ones, friends and family. Right now on CNN I am watching cheering, elated crowds gather outside the White House to celebrate this momentous news. I want to run out in the street myself and start singing God Bless America just as I wanted to do on...

Would You Rather Be Peyton Manning or Osama bin Laden?

In the interest of full disclosure, I only came up with half the idea, while my friend Brian added the key component that will truly vault us both into the same league as other great thinkers, from Plato to other guys and gals who thought about stuff. This question touches on the fundamental roots of our society, of our existence as animals thrust from the bosom of nature...

Capture Bin Laden?
2009-05-18 08:25:00 It is unbelievable that the CIA is seriously searching for Osama bin Laden. He cannot hide for thirteen years. The CIA closely works with Afghan mujahedeen, who are Osama’s close friends and would readily betray him to the Americans for a quick profit. Osama’s CFO defected to the Saudis, and his chief buyer, Abu Hajir, ...

2009-04-05 11:46:00 Osama cannot expand into Israel. His modus operandi is that of a guerrilla group rather than terrorist organization. He is used to operating from safe havens: in Afghanistan, Sudan, Pakistan, Iraq, etc. Such strategy is a product of Al Qaeda?s lack of sophistication: the group lacks serious counter-intelligence capabilities, doesn?t hide itself well, and is ...

2009-04-02 11:43:00 Osama scored several PR victories, and Muslim media didn’t miss a chance to trumpet them.

Osama and America
2009-03-13 08:42:00 The “America-first” approach is Osama’s major sop to Muslim dictatorships. Egyptians, Saudis, Qatari, and others tolerate numerous charities and forefronts channeling money and support to Osama as long as Osama uses this money to employ local terrorists elsewhere. Egyptian security services, for example, extracted declarations from jailed members of EIJ and IG renouncing domestic terrorism. ...

Osama?s fake military leadership
2009-03-04 08:46:00 Osama was not a major player in Russian-Afghan war. There was a fundamental cognitive gap between Afghans and Arabs. Afghans had peasant-gangster mentality. They switched between camps and villages, low-intensity fighting and farming. In a telling example, Afghan mujaheddin besieged Khowst for almost a decade. After the West and the Muslim world started pouring money ...

This is what I read:Clintons Campaign For Osama bin Laden in Pennsylvaniainstead ofClintons Campaign For Obama-Biden in PennsylvaniaHear that, McPalin? Obama-Biden = Osama bin Laden. Rev up those 527's! Just juxtapose over and overObama-BidenandOsama bin LadenPut them together in sentences, stick them close to each other in phrases, do it in writing in speech, Hell, even try it subliminally.
