Interesting.

actually, in other parts of the world people speak English very well. It might be hard for Americans to understand this because Americans don’t bother trying to learn foreign languages,

read the news, it did happen that day. they just announced it on CNN about 5 hrs ago.

Second that! Sohaib’s the real deal! A long time friend. And would expect him to live tweet something like this anyways!! Where ya at Sohaib?

Especially common in IT where it is not uncommon to have to deal with a lot of things, like documentation and communication with other groups and businesses, to be primarily in English. He may even have attended school/university in an English speaking region (The US, UK, Australia…)

Ultimately, it’s silly to say something sounds ‘too American’. You have no idea this person’s past, where they schooled, if they are in fact maybe a US expat… Etc, etc…

@Rehan: LOL

Go ahead was given on the 29th early in the morning U.S. Eastern time, probably about mid-afternoon in Pakistan. Just because go ahead is given doesn’t necessarily mean that the operation is carried out right then. They would not only have to have time to get in position, but also have to be under cover of darkness most likely for this kind of operation. Going from 0 to 60 that deep in another country would take some time, with or without assistance from foreign operatives. Seems very likely that it would’ve taken place on May 1 at about 1 a.m. or 2 a.m. in Abbottabad.

News on the electronic media being aired in India now – approx 14.20 hours/2.5.2011, says the US carried out the attack all by itself. A careful reading of these tweets does not display any element of surprise in Abbotabad when the attack was underway. A 40 minute operation with its surprise element cannot lead to army guarding important locations and phones not being answered. It seems the Pak establishment was aware of all that unravelled but seems to have asked the Americans to go on record stating the Pak Govt was not in the know – may be it was planned in advance to avoid a domestic backlash. It is also possible that only certain elements in the Pak establishment knew of the attack. What actually happened would remain a painful mystery for long and will come out only in bits and pieces.

Would have been easy enough to keep the exact target of the operation a secret from Pakistan’s security services though wouldn’t it?

I suppose it’s possible that with a base nearby, some pre-planned contingency measures could be put in place… it is an Army after all, they tend to be fairly well organized

It is a fascinating situation whereby the Pakistaini Government would have to choose between sharing the triumph of their roll in the West and distancing themselves from any involvement regionally. I know that’s the tightrope they’ve had to tread for years but it’s a seminal moment to decide which side of the fence you are on.

After all , according to you, do you think the person who made the comment about the distance between the two cities would actually know that fact if he was an American?

Rolaids moment for the whole world — no question about that! Thank you Sohaib Athar for temporarily shutting up the conspiracy theorists.
Questions that still remain:
1. Pakistan always denied that Osama was in its borders. Was it true or is that the status of Pakistani intelligence?
2. Where is India’s intelligence on this? What is the role India played on this — sitting on the fence or playing the scarecrow?
3. How did Mahinda Rajapakse’s (MR) regime fail to betray Osama & Pakistan? Did they not know that the US$25m bounty? Oh . . come on . . . MR could have easily and methodically leaked this intelligence and there are enough buffoons in his cabinet to play the character and claim stupidity. Colonel Karuna or Douglas Devananda could have easily done this. Besides, what is the point in having them in the cabinet — certainly not for their outstanding credibility?

This is interesting and no offense, but I find his tweets really entertaining and funny. I guess this Sohaib Athar person is not really aware that Osama is hiding in his “neighborhood.” With Twitter, I guess this just proves that not only does social media help us get connected with friends, but also to broadcast, well, information regarding what’s the latest happening.

US govts are in in the habit of creating their own demons : Osama bin laden was helped from scratch by the US in the fight against the soviets. saddam was armed to the teeth by the US to fight against Iran.

All of these were unquestionably evil men, but friends of the US at one time or another.

They’re actually much higher than that as it could have coincided with any other incidents that would have posed the same question (e.g. death of stalin; invasion of iraq; twin towers attack etc… etc…). I’d say the odds were 1:1 that the date could be found to mean something…..

What is wrong with you? Bin Laden helped orchestrate more than one attack against America. He killed thousands fo innocent people. How can you possibly lump him in with Bush and Blair. And I am shocked that 75 people actually agreed with your comment.

thank you Nancy as to spelling, now pronounced, reeked (best I can do w/out dict.)

Real or fake, it’s still kinda funny.
BTW, I doubt Osama or any of the militants he’s pals with were on Twitter going “OMG, the U.S. is about to kick our @ss, thanks for the heads up @ReallyVirtual ” Obvious, since you know, they got their @sses handed to them.

Damn you. That little thumbnail made me think you were skinny!

what you people don’t realize is that Osama was our alli at some point. During the cold war we gave him guns and weapons. Guess the US needs to choose better friends.

You’re pretty darn close to the truth. There is no “Preston University” anywhere. It’s a virtual campus owned by a Pakistani who uses a Los Angeles address as his business location.

I think they got him alive a week ago and this was staged to look like he was killed

Im a proud American. But Bush is a bad guy. He knowingly created wars which killed innocent people. Bush also single-handedly destroyed the American economy. I don’t believe we should kill anyone. But I do think we should put Bush is a 8×8 jail cell for 23 hours a day for the rest of his life.

Osama killed 3000 on 9/11. Bush/Blair killed 1,500,000 through Iraq War.

Since were just sayin’.

Why couldn’t we see the body?

It was buried in the ocean? Really?

Just sayin’

Bush and Blair killed 1.5 million in Iraq alone.

I just want to know why we could not see the body?
No DNA testing?

What if he died in some cave a few years ago and Obama is taking credit for it now?

Just sayin’

Today something important happened. Not the death of Osama, he was already irrelevant. The man hasn’t been involved in planning any terrorist operations since 2002. He hasn’t even made a video since 2007.

Today Obama won the 2012 elections.

Matt, your comments are disrespectful to the U.S. military. These people risk their lives to capture / kill scumbags like Bin Laden. You sit there and post BS questioning their effectiveness & comparing Bush to Bin Laden. you’re a coward.

Insane. Tweeted a secret raid? Wow.

Not entirely true, most of us just learn Spanish so we can talk to the immigrant people in our own country.

Here’s some other “on site” posts on a site devoted to pakistani car enthusiasts. Also interesting as they note various theories such as it being an Indian helicopter…or a training accident.

They note that Pakistani jest appeared to be scrambled, and that tanks and other security forces moved into the compound later.

So uh, if Obama was lying, then we should be seeing Bin Laden on al-Jazeera soon. Right?

I bet she didn’t know she was working for bin laden

Jeesh…the conspiracy theorists are nutters here.

I really don’t think that Osama bin Laden is going to allow his wives to shack up with a lookalike, and one of them is going to be allowed to be killed as a human shield for an imposter. Or that his sons are going to die protecting a faux Osama.

I think that this may have major ramifications within Al Qaida. After all, who ratted out the location for the US? Since Osama was only moved there in 2006 when the compound was constructed, it had to be someone with knowledge of his location after that date.

I suspect that those who supplied him with messages, money, or information during this time period will all be under suspicion….either for wanting to rid AQ of the “old man” allowing them to take power, or being CIA informants.

And if the CIA knew the location since August it appears that they were sitting on it for the right time. One can imagine that they have a lot of surveillance on the comings and goings of those who met with him and supplied him with needed resources. Were the officers at the cadets school(Pakistan’s “Sandhurst”) just a half km away really all that unknowing?

In addition, there were computers within the facility that had the hard-drives removed. It will be an intelligence coup…perhaps even more important than the actually elimination of the spiritual leader”.

Rather than go on offensive, If I were an AQ operative, I’d be dropping any previously developed operation and trying to go very deep underground. Everything and everyone cleared by or briefed for Osama is compromised.

That’s a characteristic of Pakis of British origin they have a large chip on their shoulder
often manifested as here, by specious bombast and poor syntax.
They have the fanciful idea that Allah the I imaginary grants them some sort of intellectual advantage.
And when one confronts them with a little fun poking concerning their barbarian prophet
they have a propensity to be offended.(just no sense of fun or irony)

Backtype here, Facebook Comments on the main website, you guys have to create a unified UX for comments!

The resources that are put into international willy waving rather than getting on with the fundamentals of running a prosperous nation are enough to make me clinically depressed.

Not an expert on Pakistan by any means but I always sink in my chair a bit when I think about the costs of a nuclear weapons program and arguments over land rights.

ugh, where’s that bottle of Laphroaig.

Get behind “The Donald” he is demanding that Obama show Osama’s Death Certificate! The line for stupid crazy people starts at Trump Towers.

Seriously? Outright lie? Have you never heard of Halabja? Saddam used chemical weapons on how own people. Ok, Kurds, but still Iraqi people. Killed more than 3000 people. If someone commits a murder then hides the weapon, it does not mean the crime did not occur.

It never ceases to amaze me the people who still attribute all of 9/11 to Bin Laden. Concrete & steel do not collapse like that kids.

Until we bring those in our own government who were complicit in this act, there will be no justice. Bin Laden is dead, maybe, & frankly, it doesn’t change a damn thing.

Right. And the Moon landings were faked. And the President was born In Kenya. And I’m Donald Trump.

On the contrary: it is Obama who has (willfully) destroyed the economy of the USA (which he was raised to hate) and thereby drag down the economy of the globe. Oh, and give credit where credit is due: Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd began wrecking the American economy when they forced banks and mortgages companies to make home loans to people who were patently unable to make mortgage payments; then they covered for the financial sleight of hand at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and paid Franklin Raines and Jamie Gorelicks millions in bonuses.

I had to stop because they don’t believe in cleaning. Their pigs

Thats not the point moron. Is it required to “BE” President to present this form and he’s unamerican for doing it andit proves that even though he might have shown it, he should have shown it to us the American people – like all Presidents have. but since he doesn’t give a shit about the “AMERICAN” PEOPLE he did what he did. Thanks Donald Trump- Nice move by the GOP to use this guy to get the president to do this. He’s is an incompetent President. CIA and special forces did this. Let’s not forget he wants to cut the Defense Departments budget yet let a bunch free loading Tamika’s and Shameka’s have 5 babies by the age 20 and continue their sorry lazy asses. No I’m not racists – I’m a realist!!!! and most of the US knows this – they just don’t say it. Na na na nanananananana ey hey goodbye Obama. If you thknk 2011 elections was sunami against the liberal democratic party – wait for 2012. Obama got lucky that our special forces and cia are so competent!!

Are you that naive. Donald Trump won’t be President. Yes this “Joke” is the country everyone wants to come to.

Go to Libya or go to Cuba and you won’t be able to to post this shit. Or better go to England – or Canada where you pay 50% income tax and your insurance sucks – Get the hell out of here – we don’t want people like you – We want peopl that love this Country and appreciate it’s greatness – get the hell out.

typical liberal when you can argue – you demean you critize and callthe Informed American a retard. pathetic.

These are liberals that are completely clueless. I’ve been around for a while. Im 60 and back during the Vietnam War – liberals called our soldiers baby killers – every month there was demonstration in colleges all around the US calling soldiers baby killers. When we bailed out of Vietnam and the North Vietnamese killed Millions of South vietnamese in an area now known as the Killings Fields” LIBERALS SAID NOTHING. THEIR AGENDA IS STUPId and will always fail. Thank God Americans always come around to get rid of this crap called the Progressive Movement

Osama Bin Ladin ‘s family were living in Pakistan but he was not their because he is death years before this action. But US want Pakistan Army & ISI to shut-up in this story. Because Obama want to win next election and this is the way for his victory in next election. However Pakistan’s Intelligence know that OBL is death and their family is living in KaKul with the support of Pakistan Army because they were not in the terror list. But now the story is that there is no sign of anything so if US say that OBL was there then we have to believe them without asking for prove. because they vanished his body in Sea !!!!

And I think Pakistan’s Army already had a knowledge of this event or they were there when US plan this attack. Remember General Pasha visit pentagon few days before and dont forget that interesting news in this US government say that they are thinking to put ISI in terrorist list. Well this is pressurizing technique or what ever but something messy is going on.

Just like Obama had nothing to do with B in Laden’s demise neither does Bush about this Economy other than he did spend too much on Aids Awareness. YOu are so clueless. The Republicans knew everyone can’t have The American Dream because people are lazy andirresponsible, bUT Dems called the Republicans racists saying Reps didn’t want poor and blacks to own homes. The Reps gave in. In 2005 again the Republicans pushed for reform and the Dems again used the Race Card. This is a complicated ProbLEM – THE MAIN FAULT IS : GREED. GREED ON THE BANKS, ON THE REALTORS, ON THE BUYERS ON EVVERYONE. Do you homework – look at the history of Congress decisions during 2003-2006. Don’t talk crap without doing your homework Our Economy sucks and your President can’t fix it – but it’s not easy – WHERE ARE YOU REAGAN? When the incompetent President Jimmy President left office Thank God we had someone with good sense in knowing that the Trickle down economy works and that if you promote a “Nanny” state in this country – people will get use to getting their “free Ride” and if you take their free paychecks away – people will riot like in Greece. Do you homework and get educated – you may learn something

Hey Matt- Guest did his homework – he definitely doesn’t get his info from MSNBC . They ratings keep slipping slipping and soon they will be just like “AIR AMERICA’ GONE – WHY BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND WHAT IT STANDS AND THEY HATE FREE LOADERS

Here’s a thought – why don’t you all stop calling each other “retards” and grab a thesarus and find some new words to insult each other with. I’m so sick of “retard” being the ultimate insult word. My “retarded” brother is the nicest person I know and definitely cooler than people who constantly bitch and call each other names.

Spindle – you are as naive as Matt. People hate us and want to kills us – Yes because they envy this country. They hate Americans including someone like you and we (US) hve to defend ourselves from lunatics in the name of Religions. We didn’t start this fight you moron – It started om 9-11 – Just like we didn’t start WWI nor WWII nor any war.

We fight for Freedom. Or better yet – our solders fight for your “Fucking Freedom” to be able to live like you do – whatever that may be.

I wish the draft would come back so that we can send People like you to war and appreciate this great Country.

NEWSFLASH – OBAMA HAS BEEN PRESDIENT FOR 2.5 YEARS AND WE’RE STILL AT WAR? WHAT HAPPENED – WHY DIDN’T HE CUT LOOSE LIKE ALL YOU LIBERALS WANT HIM TO DO? BECAUSE HE’S IN THERE NOW AND HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS TO DO TO PROTECT YOUR SORRY ASS

the killing fields was in cambodia, perpetuated by the khmer rouge, which were not Vietnamese. Learn some history or label your writing as fiction, which it is.

Numerology!

http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/04/27/president-obamas-long-form-birth-certificate

Um satisfied? What more do you people want?

he might be stupid crazy – but he got Obam to do whatall All Americans must show to be President -Obama might have shown i to be President – but he didn’t give a shit about the American People – so Hail to Trum and his millions of dollars he made – WORKING HIS ASS AND BRAIN OFF !

Smart move GOP! All this proved that Obama did not give a Shit about the American People – He is gone in 2012.

Missybirdie- we just need the draft back and will put Matt Lawson first in line – he’ll probably pee in his pants because he is a Coward

You Got it 100% correct Boulderite. Obama takes the credit – fine – let’s see if he does lower the Defense Budget – his temporary hike for Osama’s capture – will bring him down where he has been and continue to be a loser President

That’s because these people are barbaric = they mutilate women’s private parts. Rape is acceptable – they are barbarics – Ths Country is doing what it has to do. Thank God we have real men and women that represent us and keep us safe and not be cowards lke Matt and others that hide behind their laptops .

:S One thing Canada DOES have is freedom of speech! Nothing makes you Americans happy, greedy…. And before you start posting “facts” you may want to do some research! Jerk…

Its a great day for ALL of us, PERIOD! lets just celebrate!!!

where do you get your news dude. The Pakistani President just said they had nothing to do with it

you are so naive. I am a Realtor my friend and the economy is not recovering. Obama’s death will be old news in a month and if the economy does not improve – it will be a forgotten situation by end of summer. But keep thinking that – the American people know better – they proved it last November and like many liberals – you will be shocked at the elections results of 2012.

You are absolutely ignorant… Get over yourself… you call yourself an American? Wow, thank god im From Canada, because we DO NOT say things like this… Don’t like it LEAVE or get use to it… you judge to quickly! Muslims are NOT dirty, if you were the SLIGHTEST bit educated you would know that they are actually extremely clean. So would you call a white Muslim women/Man dirty? or is it just the stereotypical color, which i think your referring too. Shuddup

Seems like you are telling people to get educated before you even are…There is a reason you have no “likes” on your stupid comments, because you are naive and know NOTHING.

America is the greatest country – EVER!!!!. But your from Pakistan – you probably clean your butt without tissue paper – Isn’t that a common practice – in your country. Shit I’m glad not your neighbor. I feel sorry for whoever your wife is.

Thank GOD someone else is calling this absolute lunatic out on his lack of knowledge

There, their and they’re. Please choose the proper one. Hint: They’re

It’s “TSUNAMI.” If you’re going to call Obama an idiot, please at least use proper spelling and grammar. If not, I’m going to assume you’re some white trash in the south. Also, it’s not just Tamika’s and Shameka’s who have children for welfare checks. Jessica’s, Megan’s, Susie’s, and Margaret’s also do it. I’m sure in your world, us white people are perfect and it’s only those “damn coloreds” who are screwing up everything. I’m white, and I think white people are just as fucked up as anyone else. I guess what I’m trying to say is, If you want people to take you serious, don’t come across as a dumb white racist

NO BABY YOU ARE WRONG!! YOU HATE AMERICANS BECAUSE YOU ENVY US !!!!!
WE ARE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE

NO BABY YOU ARE WRONG!! YOU HATE AMERICANS BECAUSE YOU ENVY US !!!!!
WE ARE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE

It’s “THEY”RE”

SMART GIRL – YOU MUST BE AMERICAN

Yea, this country needs to be led by our pastors and preachers instead of this gay loving president. The 10 commandments should be the supreme law of the land. Eating shellfish is an abomination people and whoever does it needs to be punished. What I don’t understand is why Republicans hate countries like Iran who are governed by religious law which is what they want here. I think they just hate Iran because they are jealous they can’t control us PROGRESSIVES with a myth about a man in the clouds.

Yee pee Ay Ey Mamasita!!!!! I AM SO PROUD OF BEING AN AMERICAN. THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY HAS NOT STOOD UP AND CONDEMN THESE COWARDLY ACTS BY RADICALS INCLUDING AGAINST THEM BUT HEY WOMAN HAVE VERY LITTLE SAY IN THAT RELIGION. IT SUCKS

Freedom for people – We have too many terrorists and too many dictators destroying the freedom and opportunities for their people.

1.yes i’m implying SOME americans do that. they don’t use their brains. (did not say all, how is that racist)
2. He stated thats why hes in canada and not America….

Wow! He wants the draft, but I bet he never served hahaha. Man, my dad and my brother both served and would both call you an idiot right now. Did you serve in the military because your post makes it sound like you didn’t in which case you may be the biggest hypocrite of all time. You say we didn’t start this war which is incorrect. We didn’t start the Afghan war but we sure as hell started the Iraq war, but I’m sure you still think Saddam had those nuclear weapons that Bush said was going to kill us all.

women actually have the same amount of say buddy… i think your looking at “culture” not religion Fuck off already you uneducated jerk… only YOUR post piss me off!!

Once again, “THEIR” would be the correct word to use. Not “they ratings.” Jesus dude, did you even go to English class?

so, improper seplling n Grammer meens your, “some white trash in the south”?
dam. i need to move.

Yup

I know you are a dirty spic Marvilla, leave america and take all the minorities with you, america is for those of us who belong, you should not even vote, one you are a woman , two you are latino. fyi Congress wants to cut the budget, go ron paul

just because the people you rent to are that way does not make a whole religion that way. It’s unfortunate that someone who thinks themselves so patriotic and well informed could be so disgustingly ignorant.

Benazir Bhutto stated in 2007 that OBL was dead. Within a week she was herself assassinated. I would suggest people to “do the math” but math is not a strength for most Americans.

fuck obama, fuck binladin…dead motherfucker…

Who counted them? Where did you get this number? Please provide the reference where we can look it up. Thanks.

drop a bomb on the middle east, if they had a shred of decency among themselves they would all either stand up against this terrorism or leave…weak is a state of mind…

I’m sorry for pointing this out, and yet again I will say I am sorry eh. However I believe that your name Proud Canadain (go habs go) should say Proud Canadian. This might just be a typo on your part eh but I am again sorry to point this out. Sorry..Wait is this an attempt at a “French” accent to Canadian? Funny and smart…sorry…thats a fact

Sweetheart, if you don’t know the difference between socialism and communism, it might be best if you just stayed away from descriptors all together. Your basic mentality seems to be ‘us good; everyone else bad’.

It’s okay to embrace your strengths and communicate on your own level. We’ll all understand when you feel the need to pound on your hairy chest and grunt…and you won’t have to stress your tiny mind any longer.

9/11/00 was not ok ;I hope 11/11/11 is ok ;Some say it is the end of us all

9/11/00 was not ok ;I hope 11/11/11 is ok ;Some say it is the end of us all

I think you misspelled your name.

Ever hear of auto-correct?

Why do the ignorant people without a thought to call their own always fall back to heckling on grammar? I’ll take a man with interesting ideas and typos over and idiot who doesn’t understand spacing of punctuation with no original thought included.

Go back to Mr. Strunk and leave the grown ups to talk.

I think they might hate YOU…I, myself am pretty fucking awesome & a cool guy…maybe if you didn’t refer to an entire religion as “pigs” they might not hate you as much….just a thought to let marinate in your head for a bit.

You do understand that ‘Twitter’ isn’t an actual corporeal being, right? Twitter was there because people were there. People are almost always there.

We had live, real time text and video records of 9/11, long before the Twitter infestation. But you don’t hear people saying AT&T is always right there when things happen…

If you look back over the last several years you’ll see the Pentagon trying to cut programs and Congress won’t let them because they’ve earmarked these programs in their home districts. Gates has even testified before Congress that certain programs should be eliminated, but nooo.

We actuallly don’t want people like you

Sorry to point this out but the US economy/and most of the EU’s is in the crapper because people decided to get rich on other peoples investments ie trying to bank in on the mortage loans and investments as well as trading on derivatives. Funny thing is the US dollar is stable based on world economics. For instance, (please correct me if I am wrong, my intel may be bad) if lets say hmmm Canada wished to by Saudi oil, (based on the agreements signed in the 70′s) Canada can only purchase this oil in US dollars. So they cash in their coloured money for US dollars to buy oil. This keeps the US dollar in demand. If the Asian countries ever decided to call in their debts, the US would be screwed in the global markets (not that this would happen). There is no other country on the planet that runs the up-teen TRILLION dollars in debt and gets away with it…unless you are the USA. ps bin ladens death will not help the US economy. (not tied in) please don’t quote oil prices dropping because there is more oil in Alberta…Give it 15 years and the world (meaning US) will go after the most precious commodity on earth…WATER…guess who holds 1/3 of the fresh water on the planet…Canada…I smell an invasion north of the 48th…

Bailed out Vietnam?….Vietnam was a fucking disaster!

Bailed out Vietnam?….Vietnam was a fucking disaster!

Let me guess, the school you refer to is in Walley BC. Surrey’s version of Compton. Your grasp of the “Canadian” language is most impressive.

You might want to educate yourself on Trump for a bit, because he hasn’t worked his ass off for his success. As a matter of fact, many of his business ventures have been bailed out by foreign investors. Yeah, real smart move!

I’m an American, grateful for the blessings we have and sad that the greedy hoarding aristocrats are protected by politicians and the Supreme Court while everybody else is expected to benefit from whatever “trickles down” from above. Like Marie Antoinette who said of the masses, “Let them eat cake”. And I get so f-n’ tired of my fellow Americans bragging about being the “greatest country… blah blah blah…” People hate pomposity, and that is POMPOUS, marivila25. Cut the crap and find some humility.

Canadia certainly does not have freedom of speech. Don’t forget how the Canadian authorities cautioned Anne Coulter that she would not have the same freedoms to speak that she enjoys in the US. I bet you didn’t know that the Canadian “Human Rights” Commissioner recently said that “freedom of speech is an AMERICAN concept” that he did not have to regard.

The Criminal Code of Canada: Hate propaganda sections:

Prior to 2004-APR-29, the “Hate Propaganda” section of the Criminal Code of Canada (Section 318 & 319) prohibited the expression of hatred against — or the advocacy of genocide of — four “identifiable groups:” people distinguished by their “color, race, religion or ethnic origin.” 1

Curiously, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and other criteria were not included. Apparently one could have delivered a speech that “willfully promotes hatred” — even one which “advocates or promotes genocide” — against women, men, inter-sexual persons, the disabled, heterosexuals, bisexuals, homosexuals, cisgendered or transgendered persons, transsexuals, and others while enjoying immunity of prosecution under the law.

Bill C-250 added sexual orientation to the list of “identifiable groups” when it was signed into law on 2004-APR-29.

Jerk that.

so if you use Twitter, you must be NSA/CIA…

why did you go back to the shithole then? why embrace the misery?

it is “over an idiot” you dumb fuck

and bragging about it…. That’s what people don’t understand.

You’re looking…. not your, you uneducated dumb fuckin’ Canadiate

and its pissES me off…. good grief you Canaditard

lulz at all you mofos! the us is going to be a second rate nation in our lifetime. most of us will die and they rich and affluent will survive if we dont stop people from robbing us of our property our freedom and our lives. we shouldnt be using outdated religious prejudices or teaching everybody to be consumers that the rich and powerful can feed on. we should stand up for equality and fairness like people around the world are doing right now.

you need to pay more attention. Actually, many Muslims are relieved that Bin Ladin is dead and have condemned the extremists. Just as there are Christians who condemn bombing of abortion clinics and murdering of doctors. Extreme Muslims and extreme Christians have a lot in common– they hate each other, expect their women to cover up and shut up, and have a lot of babies whether they want them or not. Don’t lump everybody of one faith, culture or nationality into one huge generalization. But if they’re extremists– go ahead and lump them together. Maybe they’ll “neutralize” each other and leave the rest of us alone.

yep, you probably are.

and this is like.. new?

Your level of idiocy is staggering. I’m not sure what’s worse…your moronic, ill informed comments on everything, or the vitriolic hatred spewing oozing from you. In any case, I feel sorry for you…for your misguided thinking, for your woeful lack of education, and mostly, for the loneliness and delusion that requires you to post on everything in the hope of baiting a response.
I’ve never, not once, responded to anyone in these comments before, but I wanted to do so tonight to tell you that your posts are pathetic and truly make me sad and to sincerely let you know you’ll be in my prayers tonight.

You are FAR from refined or educated. This much is clear from your many grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors. You sound rather ignorant and low class, thus nothing you’ve written will be considered anything but the rant of an illiterate Pakistani extreamist whose location and IP will be sniffed and tracked by the US. You are on a watch list now, that fact you can read into and which I am enjoying with great fervour…

I know for a fact that 11/11/11 is gonna go down with a bang (it’s my birthday and I am gonna party like it’s 11/11/11)

they said on the news ( more than one news channel ) that they killed him days ago, and they were waiting for dna analysis matching it with, his sisters brain that was subpenaed to get the genetics from her. They didnt want to put it in the media without it actually being him… Now this guys twitter supposedly “live unwittingly broadcasting the infiltration for Osama” but how is that possible when he was already deceased? seems pretty fishy to me, along with the US Government following along with the Islam Laws for his burial, if he died days ago and someone of that religion is supposed to be buried 24 hours after the killing, obviously he was pushed off the USS Carl Vinson in Arabian Sea awhile before.. or how at least one of those 24 SEALs had a SSD Camera attached to their head gear. doesn’t seem to match up.

dumbass…

As you might know, almost all “old” (i.e. verbs related to movement/position, words describing nature, fire, earth, water, wind , lodgements, boating etc.) English words stem from Old Norse (Nordic). Thus wreck – relates to – vrak, vräka, vraeka; wreak – vrak, vräka; reek (smoke) – rök, röka, ryka

Window is another typical example.

It stems from wind eye (vindöga) – meaning an [squared]opening in the roof, for the wind/smoke [reek] to exit a house. In Norway they still say vindue, whilst we in Sweden now use the word fönster [from French fenêtre; ^ marks there was a "s" dropped somewhere back in the days -> fenestre; in German they have also adopted the French version -> fenster] . Thus the whole “device” is called fönster here, but the very glass shield is called vindruta. Ruta means a square formed opening or demarcation. Vindruta is also the name of the front “window” of a car.

Just a small etymological excursion, whilst you all go berserk (gå bärsärkagång) …

The “fancy words” came much later into English via France, Iberian peninsula …

I can’t fathom how people like you exist in the world. It’s honestly mind boggling.

Not sure how that works out…Chile? Argentina? I know at least one family that has US trained Juntas to thank for murdering family and forcing them into exile. All in the name of pro-market “reforms”. They love America, just not everything it does.

realtors are parasites,leeching off humanity`s basic need.if you are doing bad,thats good,you create nothing,and try to create false value.

oh and you are a twat and talk bollocks

I don’t think anyone shoud be happy because they have killed Bin Laden, part of his family and coworkers… Osama did bad things, but we are NOT GOD and we should not decide who must live and who must die.
Vengance is not something that brings peace, it will bring more of the same.

The super seal team that practice this for months had to kill them all??? why??? I’m sorry for the guys that pull the trigger, I’m sorry for the people that are happy for the killings.

It’s not a good day for celebration, again, NO ONE deserves to die. Not Osama, not Bush, not Saddam hussein.

“my intel may be bad”

“I smell an invasion north of the 48th… ”
cool, been waiting a long time. maybe we can ship off all the idiotic left wing liberal democratic muslin satanic thieving money grubbers up there to sweat out working hard labor in the cold so that we can use our good old conservative (not being greedy) moral (helping each other) constitutional (non- liberal democratic ripping off) beliefs to restore things (make’m good again).
I just had to jab at all the stupid wackos (left wing liberal democrats) commenting on here, as if they meant anything to anyone (besides being the ruin in ruiness)! Ahhh.

why do you think they put 2 bullets in the head? ;p

How do you charge for your stupidity? Hourly or daily?

Just a note: washing the butt is better hygiene than just wiping it with a tissue. People’s butt cleaning is derived from the environment they lived in, its not their individual preference. For many Asians, butt wiping is just gross… just FYI

It hurts… but true

That’s what Romans thought too… so if America continue to be great during your lifetime… good for you!

Oh you sound super smart Aathi. You missed one last question;

4. Where was Tiger Woods? Was he shagging women again? What was his role in this operation?

al qudea had nothing to do with iraq you moron. 1.5M died for a pointless war. I love america and have fought for it. You should respect opinions, which is why I fight for this country.

Back in the 1950s we had a red scare and a senator from wisconsin ruined the lives of millions of americans for his own gain. It was unpopular to go against him, but he was called out and his reign ended. Not everyone is going to be right, like Poyani (the poster above) about killing bush. However, it’s free speech like that which makes this country great.

Like me calling you a moron to think Al Queda had ANYTHING to do with Iraq. Get that out of your head – even BUSH said they are not connected.

Obama had just as much to do with Osama’s death as Osama had to do with the ones who died on 9/11. Obama was the mastermind of the attack on the compound that killed Osama.

It is not proper to deal and explain any incident segregated from it consequences. 9/11 was only an sad consequence of a worse series on incidence inflicted by USA. Now, they have to bear the baden of Ben Laden martyrdom along with already existing Che. Arabian sea in holier than ever before with the corps of Ben Laden in its heart.

I knew it! The old weed I reeked wreaked havoc and wrecked my roof and blew me into a fire thru a window of a lodgement where a German was assaulting an adopted Frenchman with a dropped “s” and a square fonster device on the windshield of an etymological excursion boat.

Is profanity allowed here. Even if you have something intelligent to say Marivila25, your profanity makes you sound inarticulate and angry; thereby, negating anything you have to say.

Hey Marivila, keeping thinking that. Get over it. He won. He’s president. No body is calling you a racist…I calling you a dumb ass.

you talking about mcarthy? do some basic research, turns out he was right. sooooo, where does that leave your argument?

Weird that you call Muslims pigs….if you see that pigs is a great insult, why do you eat it. If you see Muslims who go at least five times to wash and pray, then how are they dirty?…how many times you go washing yourself a day or may be a week?

If you dislike Muslims that much why do you rent them any units? The money right? then who has no principles, money hungry and worships the $? would that be dirty?

How many Muslims do you know or have you seen to generalize your opinion on all Muslims? Did you see and check enough to decide? Did you even learn or try to learn about Islam itself rather than judge it without clear understanding of its concepts and values?

Finally, why all this hatred to Islam and Muslims that you are coming with; remember that no matter what media tells you it is not necessarily the whole truth and if it is; that does not mean that showing what Muslims may do bad is fair since others too can do the same…and remember the Oklahoma massacres; why aren’t you calling American’s are terrorists even on their own neighbors and homeys??

didn’t Bush and Blair kill 1500000 civilians and counting? Didn’t Israel kill hundred of thousands of Palestinians “women men children and seniors”? where is the American freedom of speech and the American pride here, or is Israel knows how to shut you up or may be you are a fan of them yourself, I wish you guys try to do some more research and investigate rather than just get dictated from TV what to be follow, know and believe..

I “liked” your status but not because I agree with you – Instead, I think you should write screenplays of the most creepy sort, Lol! You mentioned you don’t typically respond to these posts but chose to today… Well Thank God it’s upon a rarest occasion because after reading your tongue-lashing to this person, I wouldn’t want to fear for any ‘others’ whom may leap to their deaths from tall buildings after reading your insults and insanely personal attacks.
I know not where the headwaters of your rage are drawn but girl, put it to paper and let a passive reader observe – do not unleash such hostility onto another member of this human race. Your insults are penetrable and murderous in their own nature. I too, will pray for you but please, decide against ever having children or raising anothers children or further, working in close proximity to them – your words would warp their tender hearts. No good could come of such a thing.

Right said Marivila….Islam itself is a disease….a toxic disease of our world that has created worms and demented retarded mentally handicapped animals like osama and the other muslim clerics and leaders…..in palestine, iran and pakistan……there are actually some retarded muslim human beings in India who are clerics of mosques who have made statements “who said osama was a terrorist?” …..well…..like they say….we get the world we deserve…..all of these defective creatures have to be exterminated if we are to have a livable world.

Don’t be so naive. There’s no such thing as ‘Al Qaeda’ it was invented by the US Neo Cons in the late ’90′s to instil fear in all of us and justify their long term plans for expanding their empire in the Middle East and beyond. There’s no proof Osama Bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Bin Laden iswas no saint but he’s merely a cypher, a bogeyman figure which the US and UK use to maintain that fear so the respective governments can continue to demand increased ‘defensive’ measures that prop up the arms industry while at the same time, strip us of more and more of our civil liberties as they push through ever more restrictive legislation. If Bin Laden is dead, he’s probably been dead for years. The facade has probably outgrown it’s usefulness, which, coupled with Barack Obama’s flagging popularity in the polls, is why the bogeyman has been rolled out for one last act.

Eric Roberts1823, I wonder if you even understood my statement above. At no point did I disgrace the Armed services, they’re as much victims in all of this – dragged to the frontline in phony wars under the guise of spreading the current brand of western (read US) democracy when really they are unwittingly being used to seize oil reserves and resources and pave the way for, mainly, US corporations to exploit what’s left.

You also appear to be displaying dubious psychic powers in regard to my patriotism, how exactly are you determining my country of origin? Next, I guess you’ll be staring at goats in an effort to cause me harm.
‘Al Qaeda’ as an international all-encompassing terrorist organisation with agents across the globe, poised to strike at a moments notice, is a fiction, a propaganda tool. A propaganda tool you appear to have fallen for.

Yes, there are small bands of Islamic terrorists, mostly young males disenfranchised and angry at Western involvement and exploitation in their respective regions. Some of these groups may have taken on the title ‘Al Qaeda’ to name themselves and unwittingly allied themselves with the myth that has been perpetuated from US propaganda but they’re disparate and far from being as organized as the government would have you believe. I’d suggest you read Jason Burke’s book ‘Al Qaeda’, immerse yourself in the writings of Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk and the fantastic documentaries by John Pilger and Adam Curtis (The Power of Nightmares, BBC 2005)
Then you may see the bigger picture and understand a bit better how it all works. As for my ‘loose tongue’ being ‘cut from [my] mouth’ and ‘fed back to [me], your statement clearly indicates what a beautiful, peace-loving humanist you are. (Just in case you missed the subtlety of my sarcasm, I’m being sarcastic.)
You’re sleepwalking into a police state mate. Enjoy your blind compliance.

I’m assuming you mean they own lazy pigs when you mention ‘their pigs’. It’s ‘they’re’, though I doubt if correct grammar is the start of your problems you bigot.

proves people are people. just because your in another country doesnt mean the same thoughts going through your head cant be the same one in your own.

America needs to wake up and realize if we let these countries kill there own then we would not have to do it. Nobody appointed us guardian of the world. Bush and Cheney were war profitteers… check out the Carlyle Group for its membership. We have not learned a thing since Vietnam except Americans don’t spit on the soldiers any more. It’s simple if they come in this country they die. If they attack us they die. Meanwhile we mind our own business and buy the oil from whoever has it. Did you know McDonalds is in VietNam now.

The CIA funded the Ba’ath party, of which Saddam was a member, essentially supporting the coup that put him in power. When he threatened to trade oil on the Euro, he crossed the line for the last time. All wars are wars against the poor. Iraq was a nation with a strong middle class before Gulf War I. After 12 years of brutal sanctions, the nation was crippled enough for Bush Jr. to finish what his daddy started. No matter how brutal a dictator Saddam Hussein was, it does not justify the lies told by the bush administration linking him to the attacks of 9/11, used as a pretense for unilateral pre-emptive war. Al Qaeda too, grew out of the Mujahideen, trained and funded by a CIA backed Pakistani Intelligence, ISI to help mobilize resistance against the Russians. In fact, Al Qaeda had no significant presence in IRAQ until AFTER we invaded, creating the conditions ripe for civil war. So, if we are going to run around policing the world to rid it of demons, we need to take responsibility for the actions of dictators our nation helped to create.

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism

you are such a moron, i have no idea where to begin.

this seems inauthentic

To Brandon Flyte, did you spell check or grammar check your post. It is pretty difficult to take someone serious who presents their point of view in the manner in which you did. You clearly must be a flag-waving, beer drinking, dumb ass redneck who has failed to educate himself and lacks the open-mindedness and intellect required to educate himself on all aspects of an issue. It became very clear that Bush was a somewhat more sophisticated dumb ass redneck from Texas who wanted to create a war in Iraq for various reasons. Personally I think he mostly wanted to finish his Dad’s war. The fact that there are so many crazy, fanatical muslims who are willing to strap explosives to themselves or their children in order to seek vengeance against the west and its influence shows the downside to dropping bombs on ignorant, poor farmers. You need to think very carefully about the consequences you create before you start attacking other countries and cultures. We will live with the results of this decision and the ever-growing ramifications for many years to come.

why Bush & Blair ? They had no plan to destroy Israel and then the rest of the world. You need to learn a bit more about world history young man.

no american has the right to say ” I want to kill the president – past or present ”

So I guess your run on paragraph is a better example. There are no points for spelling here.
The guy is right, I was there and I saw it with my own eyes, Iraq, Afghanistan both filled with the same terrorists. Terrorists that are hell bent on killing all non muslims. Im a Catholic so I guess Im in trouble.

Sounds like you just hate America, god , I hope you dont live here in the U.S.

in 2007 obumbo admitted he was born in kenya. it came from his lips on national tv. long form short form who cares as long as he’s gone in 2012. and why is it so hard for you libs to understand that the president must be a natural born citizen ? McCain had to show proof so why not Obumbo ? That was no birth certificate either, it was a computer generated form completed in the last 30 days. any idiot could see that.

The document was good enough for the Department of State to issue a passport.  Provide a legitimate link to support your assertion that he said he was born any where else than Hawaii. 

Basically, your type use this lame argument to not only try to say he didn’t whip your man in the election but that he does not deserve the presidency because he is black. 

You lost. Try again in two years. Now go back and listen to Rush Limbaugh to sooth your wounded soul.

Hmm, let’s see. Yes, “I” did serve and retired and still work in the defense business. At times I too wish everyone would have mandatory military service, but upon further thought, that is not what freedom is about. While he wrote the profane words that I often think too, it does not make untrue that statement that most people sit back and enjoy the freedom to do whatever they want because of a small minority that volunteer to protect those freedoms.

As to your shtick about the US starting the war in Iraq, I can only surmise you were born after August 1990. It was Iraq that invaded another sovereign nation (Kuwait) that led to that war. Perhaps you should study some history. Also, as I mentioned in a previous post, Iraq DID have WMD. Since I know few people have the gumption to find anything on their own, here is the link to what happened in Halabja, Iraq in 1988. http://www.halabja.org/ or if you think that is biased, read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halabja_poison_gas_attack. Maybe you think chemical weapons don’t count (though the international community disagrees with you), then read this assessment of Iraq’s nuclear program: http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/iraq/nuke/program.htm

There are a couple of wars that we started. The Revolutionary War and the Civil War, yep. Our country doesn’t really start crap with others, but when our leaders (agree or disagree with the leadership) feel it is necessary we are sent to do something about it. As far as hypocrites go, it would be easy to say our president is in the running for that, but I also don’t necessarily believe that. Notice his tune changed after he took office. When one learns what is really going on, they will frequently adjust their actions accordingly, which is pretty much what he has done since elected.

Ok fine, can we just realize that a word that is spelled correctly does not mean it is true nor does a misspelled word innately imply it is false. For your edification, white trash is not limited to the south, I assure you. It is possible for an intelligent person to make a grammatical error. For instance capitalizing the word “If” in the middle of a sentence and failing to put a period after a sentence and before a smiley. Ouch!

The whole birth certificate deal is just so stupid. Everyone on here who has had a federal background check raise your hands. I am damn sure that if a candidate for president was not a citizen (or most anything else untoward came up) someone in the process would have noticed and said something. And even if they were silenced, that story would have come out, too. It is a non-issue and a distraction from more important things. Obama is not an idiot, but I do believe he is certainly interested in moving our nation towards more government control and away from personal freedoms.

Moreover, all the above is pretty irrelevant to this post and comments. I still have my suspicions about whether this tweet was really created during the events, but the idea of someone seeing (hearing?) news and disseminating it before any conventional media source is pretty awesome.

[...] Man accidently live-tweets Osama raid [...]

Duhh is right… you are as ignorant as you are stupid! There is tons of proof of al Quaeda/Iraq cooperation! Literally TONS!

I have 10 proofs! Documented PROOF! You f-in idiot!

I’ll give you one, since there isn’t the space here to submit it all:
On February 19, 1998, the Iraqi Intelligence Service finalized plans to bring a “trusted confidant” of bin Laden’s to Baghdad in early March. The revelation came in documents discovered after the Iraq war by journalists Mitch Potter of the Toronto Star and Inigo Gilmore of the Sunday Telegraph. The documents–a series of communiqués between Iraqi Intelligence divisions–provide another window
into the relationship between the former Iraqi regime and al Qaeda. The following comes from the Telegraph’s translations of the documents:
The envoy is a trusted confidant and known by them. According to the above mediation we request official permission to call Khartoum station to facilitate the travel arrangements for the above-mentioned person to Iraq. And that our body carry all the travel and hotel expenses inside Iraq to gain the knowledge of the message from bin Laden and to convey to his envoy an oral message from us to bin Laden, the Saudi opposition leader, about the future of our relationship with him, and to achieve a direct meeting with him.
A note at the bottom of the page from the director of one IIS division recommends approving the request, noting, “we may find in this envoy a way to maintain contacts with bin Laden.” Four days later, on February 23, final approval is granted. “The permission of Mr. Deputy Director of Intelligence has been gained on 21 February for this operation, to secure a reservation for one of the intelligence services guests for one week in one of the first class hotels.”
The al Qaeda envoy to Iraq arrived in Baghdad on March 5, 1998. Notes in the margins of the Iraqi Intelligence memos indicate that Mohammed F. Mohammed stayed for more than two weeks in Room 414 of the Al Mansour Melia Hotel as the guest of Iraqi Intelligence. After extending his trip by one week, bin Laden’s emissary departed on March 16.
The U.S. intelligence community is now in possession of these documents and has assessed that they are authentic.

Just to be gracious to your stupidity, I’ll give you another (a little background: Sudan had/has al Queda training camps and weapons development sites):
On August 20, 1998, the Clinton administration bombed the al Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Sudan. The attack came in retaliation for the nearly simultaneous al Qaeda bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa. The decision to strike al Shifa was–and remains–controversial. But senior Clinton administration officials defended the bombing, citing the presence of Iraqi scientists at chemical weapons facilities in Sudan. Several senior U.S. intelligence officials supported those claims. In an interview with THE WEEKLY STANDARD last year, John Gannon, who was at the time chairman of the CIA’s National Intelligence Council, said this: “The consistent stream of intelligence at that time said it wasn’t just al Shifa. There were three different [chemical weapons] structures in the Sudan. There was the hiring of Iraqis. There was no question that the Iraqis were there.”

FRyan -
another idiot with selective amnesia. With your level of knowledge of ISI,
Mujahideen, al Qaeda, and the Ba’ath party, you should know better than to
spread lies. You are a sick freak!

You said:
“…essentially supporting the coup that put him in power.”
I’d say it’s
the same as funding the public schrewl education that left you despotic and
stupid. Ok, maybe you have a point. We put Saddam in power through finances
just as you were left stupid through federal education finances. Good point!

You said, “When
he threatened to trade oil on the Euro, he crossed the line for the last
time.”
Oh my!
What a pharse! Again, public schrewl education leaves you an ignorant
conspiracy theorist. No point here… just conspiracy.

You said,
” All wars are wars against the poor.”
Since your
next stupid statement was that Iraq was the beautiful metropolis of peace and
bliss with “…a strong middle class”, then what other war was
against the “poor”? I know of only two: communism and socialism. Your
Leftist slant suggests that you are from one of them. Of which war on the poor
are you from, idiot? Are you socialist or commie?

You said,
” After 12 years of brutal sanctions, the
nation was crippled…”
Really?
How was this crippled nation able to have the third largest military in the
world at the time of both Gulf wars? Crippled? Do you recall the Oil for Food scandal?
Did you know who operated the bank that mediated the finances in the UN’s
Oil-for-Food program? It was Saddam’s brother! Most of the food came into Iraq rotting
and went to waste (UN estimates 80% waste). Again, the UN fails! With finances
from the Oil-for-Food program, Iraq bought weapons from Russia, and bought UN
Security Council votes from all 5 members to lift the “crippling
sanctions”. The US is member of UN Security Council. Saddam’s brother sent
millions of dollars to Mark Rich, wanted criminal on the run in Switzerland.
His ex-wife, socialite Denise Rich, lobbied the Clinton Administration with
that money. Clinton pardons Mark Rich in 2001.

The UN was
calling for a vote to actually lift the “crippling sanctions” in
2003. Saddam had 1000 scientists waiting to get back to work on chemical and
nuclear weapons manufacturing once the “crippling sanctions” were
lifted. They weren’t allowed to leave the country and were being watched by
Saddam’s Fedayeen. Saddam was an
ego-maniac! Gulf War I stopped only due to peace treaty. The treaty provided a
No-Fly Zone over Kurds in the north and Shia in the south, free roam of Iraq
for UN weapons inspectors, and the destruction of the weapons of what the UN
documented in existence. Instead, Saddam shot Russian anti-aircraft missiles at
US planes enforcing the No-Fly Zones too many times to count, often daily.
Instead, Saddam restricted UN weapons inspectors so that they could not work on
locating and destroying WMD, and even kicked them out of Iraq.

Saddam
earned Gulf War II! Too bad the UN is soo worthless! “The Willing”,
37 countries, had to go do Gulf War II. The biggest reason wasn’t that
violation of UN peace treaty for which it should have been, but because Saddam
and his minions were cooperating with al Qaeda, and as soon as “crippling sanctions” were lifted, there is no assurance that nukes don’t get into the hands of al Qaeda.

Did you know Saddam Hussein paid $25 million to families of terrorist suicide bombers for killing Jews and Westerners? Saddam was a terrorist! At home and abroad! SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN YOU IDIOT!

Al Qaeda and Sudan were working together to manufacture
chemical and biological weapons. The Clinton Administration had worked on these
ties with the CIA since 1996. Intelligence collected proof of strong ties to Osama
bin Laden/al Qaeda with Sudan Military. The CIA listened in to phone calls
between scientists in Sudan and scientists in Iraq in their work to develop
chemical and biological weapons. The evidence of Iraq/al Qaeda/Sudan
cooperation is overwhelming! Remember the ethnic cleansings in Sudan, and
complete village annihilations since they wouldn’t accept the Muslim fatwa’s
sent to them?

We supported the party that was willing to fight Iran in the
Iran/Iraq War. Iran has crappy oil. They wanted Iraqi oil. The world community
could not afford allowing Iran to take control of that much oil. Iran is run by
radicals. So was Iraq! So we didn’t help Iraq like we could have so as to force
a stalemate. It was always general practice to not get into a country’s
political affairs and just let a country have whoever came to power retain
their power. We felt it was none of our business.

Where is your evidence of W. Bush tying Saddam to 9/11? The
claim is always made by you lying saps, but you never provide it! W. Bush
never, NEVER said that Saddam was tied to 9/11! Soo much stupidity!

On 30 September
2004, the ISG released the Duelfer Report, its final report on Iraq’s purported
WMD programs. Among its conclusions were:
Saddam Hussein controlled all of the
regime’s strategic decision making.
Hussein’s primary goal from 1991 to
2003 was to have UN sanctions lifted, while maintaining the security of
the regime.* The introduction of the Oil-for-food
program (OFF) in late 1996 was a key turning point for the regime.* By 2000-2001, Saddam had managed to
mitigate many of the effects of sanctions and undermine their
international support.* Iran was Iraq’s pre-eminent
motivator.* The Iraq Survey Group (ISG) judged
that events in the 1980s and early 1990s shaped Saddam’s belief in the
value of WMD.* Saddam ended his nuclear program in
1991. ISG found no evidence of concerted efforts to restart the program,
and Iraq’s ability to reconstitute a nuclear weapons program progressively
decayed after 1991.* Iraq destroyed its chemical weapons
stockpile in 1991, and only a small number of old, abandoned chemical
munitions were discovered by the ISG.* Saddam’s regime abandoned its
biological weapons program and its ambition to obtain advanced biological
weapons in 1995. While it could have re-established an elementary BW
program within weeks, ISG discovered no indications it was pursuing such a
course. But, the ISG never went through the hours of tapes recording the
conversations between al Qaeda and Iraqi leaders.* Saddam wanted to recreate Iraq’s WMD
capability, which was essentially destroyed in 1991, after sanctions were
removed and Iraq’s economy stabilized. Saddam aspired to develop a nuclear
capability—in an incremental fashion, irrespective of international
pressure and the resulting economic risks—but he intended to focus on
ballistic missile and tactical chemical warfare (CW) capabilities.

Just because we finance or support the enemy of our enemy at
one time, it does not leave us to blame when they betray us! Come ON! Stop the
STUPIDITY!

No, fighting for your the country would be, Stupid! Fighting for the US, because its their capitalistic system that gave more people freedom, liberty, and the opportunity to freely serve their god and pursue their dreams. That would be patriotic! Dissent is from the Communist playbook. Labor movements enslaving their whole population toward a system maintained by capitalists. Communism would have a chance if the leaders of it weren’t capitalistic. They take all the gains, while the rest are brought to poverty.
Dissent is a right in a free society, but it, by far, isn’t the highest form of patriotism! Stupid!

How about the 11 layers of the “doctored up” document that is supposedly his long form birth certificate. Anybody that knows Adobe Illustrator would know that a scanned file saved as a PDF file would not have 11 layers. If you don’t have Illustrator, then watch the videos of those that opened the “Obama Long Form Birth Certificate” on youtube.
You are the idiot with your head so far up your ass, we just nickname you S*%tface!

The document that got Obummer a passport was never released, Stupid! What was released by the White House was a doctored up document. Bruce, you are a prime example of what is left after the public schrewl system is done with you… STUPID!

The document released by the White House when opened in Adobe Illustrator shows 11 layers. A scanned document saved in PDF form will have only one layer, the scan. Once the layers are unmasked, the layers are apparent. As you go from layer to layer, you see an obvious foisting of another fraud on the American people.

Actually, no one but Democrats have anything against our communist/socialist president being half black. The problem is with his Eastern European Socialist/Communist white half.

Want proof for his Kenyan birth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4FqVRWgrNw

You should listen to Rush Limbaugh, Brucy. Not with your socialist ears, but with an open mind and open ears. Put down the kool-aid, stupid Brucy!

A little research:
Modern “speech codes” do not exempt religious speech or churches from their scope. Canada’s hate crime law was amended to criminalize speech characterized as “directing hatred” against persons based on sexual orientation.

Lawsuits brought under a theory of wrongful excommunication or “shunning” often fail, but can still interfere with a church’s religious exercise. All such communications should be privileged; clergy should be free to speak about religious matters without fear of offending the law.

Free speech exists in the US, mostly, but ministers in Canada are tepid, at best, to make any mention of the curse of homosexuality. Rom 1:28 “And even as they did not like to
retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a REPROBATE
MIND, to do those things which are not convenient;” The only sin that isn’t convenient is homosexuality.

It was hardly that amusing mate. As you appear to work for the Defense industry I’m sure you have your own agenda for perpetuating the ‘War On Terror@thewebcoach:disqus . You seem too indoctrinated to learn anything useful from any of my suggestions (and believe me, I do have a few suggestions for you.) Your racist remarks regarding Muslims and Pakistanis betray your narrow minded ideology and are hardly helpful, nor progressive in a world already too full of hate and intolerance.

A nice comment. But what I think would be even better than pure communism would be pure socialism. EVERYTHING is controlled by the people. But, like communism, it’s shunned by westerners, given a bad name because of its leaders, and thought of as crazy and wrong. I believe socialism to be the best government for everyone.

How much longer are we going to be taken in by this ridiculous lie about 9/11?

You don’t really believe this big lie about 9/11 do you?

<<<<<<<<<<<>>”Al Qaeda” does not exist<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

http://fprison.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/al-qaeda-does-not-exist/

And where is the “sensitivity” of the TV “news” in America to the survivors of 9/11 who have tried to speak out against the “official story” for ten years? How is it “sensitive” of Bill O”Reilly to have one of them on his show once and ridicule him and accuse him of dishonoring his dead relative? It was “sensitive” of Bill O”Reilly to physically threaten him as well? And it was “sensitive” of the rest of the TV “news” to not give that man any fair exposure after that horrific smack down?

Where is the respect for the family members who lost love ones who believe demolitions charges were planted in those three buildings by the CIA?

Hah! Epic to say the least.

Great work, Prad. It makes perfect sense that if you really want to know about a culture, then excavate its garbage dumps. What we throw away is probably the best indicator of who we are.
