Osama bin Laden dead at US hands
on: May 01, 2011, 09:42:31 pm
Some guy on Twitter said so. Let's stay tuned and see if this pans out, or if it's some kind of crazy panic. (I think the Daily Mail report from a few days ago is unrelated... :nervous:)

ed: obviously bin Laden is declared dead every other week so let's just assume this is a prank for now

I remember the last time we said that....
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

To be honest, it was all but a foregone conclusion that we would eventually get him, if his own people didn't for bringing down upon them the organized wrath of the world at large.

Shame nothing will change.

I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.

Obviously nothing will change, he is totally irrelevant (mostly) to anything imaginable. But it's a loose end tied up and it represents a significant reduction in the number of stupid conspiracy theories we'll all have to listen to*

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

it's kinda funny watching all the reporters stutter about as they don't know what the hell to say/don't have prepared bits.  i'm not about to stay up and watch the speech though.  i'll read about it later.
I like to stare at the sun.

I'm not totally convinced this will change nothing. The power of symbols counts for a lot in this sort of thing, where one side makes no recourse to rational or legal authority. Men with the skills and personal discipline needed simply to last as long as he did are not common either. The loss of operational knowledge (either literally or by proxy) and personal connections is probably significant.

This has been a great year for resolving the fate of notorious enemies of the state who triggered major wars and then vanished without any clear resolution to their plot or character arcs
