Kirk. Let me put it to you in a way you cannot possibly fail to understand. I knew people killed on 9.11. I suspect everyone in New York does. We're sick of radical ideologues making it their battlecry. We're not your political football. You don't think I care what happened? Why do you think I'm so ticked at the govt. over this. I did a lot of digging into this topic, and the more you look, the more certain you become that it was not OBL and the jihadists but someone a lot closer to home.




That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

I think this was a no-win situation for us ObL was dying, his organization was "degraded". We have made him a hero. Not sure that is a good move. It might have been better to bring him to trial.

By going into Pakistan w/o the SSI (Pakistani security, who would have surely warned ObL) we have just seriously pissed off a LOT of Pakistanis. First, we embarrassed them. There will surely be a lot of questions about how ObL could have moved into a compound w/o SSI knowing. Or, if they DID know, doing anything about it. Secondly, we have insulted their national sovereignty.

Pakistan isn't much of an ally, god knows. The SSI has been playing footsie with terrorists for a long, long time... the Afghani Taliban was set up with SSI help, and the SSI takes a cut of the heroin being traded cross-border. But Pakistan as an enemy might be worse.

He didn't hate us "because we were american", he hated us cause we fucked him and his country over, broke our promises, left em swinging in the breeze when the Soviets pulled out, on top of a long history of exploitation and abuse going back well over fifty years.

I was unaware that Soviets ever WERE in S.Arabia, and then pulled out.

There's also no evidence linking him to the events of 9-11, for a fact he denied it and as much shit as he liked talking - cause I'll give you that he really was a murderous dick and showboating asswipe, I can't see him not takin credit for it if he had anything at all to DO with it..

And here's the point where I'm reminded just how completely out of touch you are with reality.

Say goodnight, Gracie.

This comes from Slashdot, in a thread regarding the death of Osama Bin Laden.

Ahem, actually not true.


Apart from the approximately 2,669 United States casualties, 372 foreign nationals (excluding the nineteen perpetrators), representing just over 10% of the total number of deaths, also perished in the attacks. The following is a list of their nationalities (not accounting for some cases of dual citizenship). By far the foreign country with the largest loss of life was the United Kingdom, with 67 deaths (including the overseas territory of Bermuda). India lost 41, South Korea lost 28 and Canada and Japan lost 24 each. Colombia lost seventeen and Jamaica, Mexico and the Philippines lost sixteen each. Australia and Germany lost eleven each, while Italy lost ten.
