Charles Manson will have to fill the gap.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

ROTFLMAO.ROTFLMAO.ROTFLMAO! Headline of the year.
So I just watched Dumbo reading the teleprompter. He spent a large amount of time trying to take credit for this. Also went out of his way to say we are not war with Islam and ‘never will be’.
Giving credit where it is due, if, (I said IF) what Dumbo said is true, that he greenlit the operation (boots on the ground deep inside Pakistan), then I will finally have one reason to praise him. That kind of decision is almost non-existant from a leftist democratic socialist. I will need verification however. But if true, he made a good call.
On the other hand, Barry is in campaign mode and closed his teleprompter reading by reciting part of the pledge of allegiance: One nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The only time those words ever pass through his lips is during a campaign.
Osama killed several thousand Americans, but Ehrlich was hoping for more like 65 million.
I smell a rat. Barack Obama is on the campaign trail. I have a feeling a deal was cut to give up bnLadens location so his death would help Obama get re-elected. He can now say he did something Bush was unable to do.
Makes perfect sense. Obama just had a stronger political urge and that is why he got Bin Laden and Bush didn’t. Write it up for the Onion.
I knew you’d reply to this particular comment Daniel.
How are you doing on your Bush Katrina fly over studies?
O’buttwipe doesn’t make the call on anything. He’s “leading” from behind.
long live the queen…………….
That’s precious. The Ace of Spades is gone.
Only Manson, Mann, Trenberth, Satan, Jones, Gore, and about 50 of other ecoterrorists left.
Idea: Can someone somewhere put out a card deck, like we had for the terrorists? After all, they really are economic terrorists, these warm-earthers? Question will be–who will epitomize the Ace of Spades in this putative deck?
Also of course, UBL would have appeared in both decks.
Not that we want ill health to these good people, just for purposes of easy identity, and amusement, of course.
Now that’s funny right there.
Man it must suck to be an AGW worshipper these days. hehe.
……word spread of bin Laden’s death after a global manhunt that lasted nearly a decade…..
This is bringing the story of how Pablo Escobar died to mind. There were always people who knew where he was. But they never gave up any location because he was too valuable to the people of Colombia. And if someone friendly toward Pablo Escobar in the Colombian government got word he was going to be captured they would contact him and tell him to flee. But at the point Escobar became of less use than he was worth he suddenly lost that protection. He was dead quickly after that. There were agencies that tried to take credit for it.
It wouldn’t be a shock to learn a deal that was too good to pass up was cut to give up bnLaden’s location. Why do I think that? Because low poll numbers on the way to an election are the only motivation politicians move to.
Saw a report on al Jazeera that the Pakistan government gave him up because things are going so poorly for them with the U.S.
That would make sense.
The whole story has been so spun for so long hard to know what’s up. He could have some pretty severe freezer burns.

I wish I had seen it. It will likely be on YouTube soon. Pakistan could be the most unstable country in the world. The northern region is comprised of tribes that hate the government of Pakistan, which hatred is only surpassed by hatred of America. The Pakistani government lives in fear of those tribes 24 hours a day. It is no surprise at all the Pakistani Government would agree to help from America. The Obama Administration must have made an offer they couldn’t refuse.
Well, I’m listening to their coverage (in the background) as I write this and surf, and I’m expecting they will run it again in their cycle. It was in a report from a Pakistan correspondent in Pakistan.

Last while the American spin department has been showing up more but still far above CNN pap.
All networks have been showing wild crowds – looks like a flash mob group to me – cheering around the White House. That ought to really thrill the young OBL fans in the larger Middle East. Strange times…
I f*#@*+g knew it!
This timing is no coincidence!
Trumps Apprentice interrupted by Obama giving announcement
http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/05/01/osama-bin-laden-dead/
Can we expect a spike in Obama’s poll numbers tomorrow???
Best coverage by far:
http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/
Learned more detail there about the operation, its location, and some odd facts about it, in two minutes than from all the usual suspects.
At the moment they’re playing Obama’s announcement so there’s some of the usual stuff to wade through.
Anyone who thinks this is just a propaganda channel… who knows? Just started watching it. But less blatant propaganda so far than any American or Canadian network or the BBC.
Sure there’s propaganda on that channel. There’s propaganda on American news. You can always expect anti American spin there. But you can expect anti American spin from CNN, MSNBC, and the New York times too. Al Jazeera does give information that is true too.

Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden dead – Obama – BBC News
Al-Qaeda founder and leader Osama Bin Laden has been killed by US forces in Pakistan, President Obama has said. While no single event can be attributed to a changing climate, projections show extreme events are likely to become more frequent.

Good one. Glad you added the ‘sarc’ tag, since it was apparently from the BBC.
Rumor had it that OBL was living like a pika so I knew his demise was imminent.
LOL!
Now al Jazeera just did an interview segment with the (young) crowd gathered in New York and they seem to think that the ‘War on Terror’ just ended. Seriously confused, and headed for disappointment.
In the meantime, the backlash effect is getting mentioned more. Sleeper cells and all that. High alert. Setting things up for more police state ‘protection.’ Airport colonoscopies ahead!
Websites than confuse citizens about the accepted planetary fever are suspect…
You’re right, there could be retaliation. I hope there will be no dirty bombs going off in the US. Those must be a security nightmare to locate.
Anthony at WUWT shows us the GoogleEarth sat images of Casa Osama …
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/05/01/justice-has-been-done-obl-compound/
And FreeRepublic has an AP photo of corpse Osama …
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2713468/posts
But then I hear some US military bureaucrat saying ‘we are handling the body in keeping with Islamic tradition’ or something. WTF?
UPDATE: scratch that corpse photo. It was a fake as many of the Freepers already figured out. Oh well. We’ll just have to imagine for now.
Assembled timeline so far …
— EST —
2:00pm :: President Dumbo met with Principals to review final preparations.
2:50pm :: Compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan raided by approx 25 Navy Seals in two choppers.
3:30pm :: Bin Laden, his son, two al Qaeda members and a female human shield killed after 40 minute firefight.
3:30pm :: One chopper with a mechanical was intentionally destroyed prior to their exit, with Bin Laden’s corpse in tow.
3:50pm :: Obama was told that bin Laden had been tentatively identified.
11:30pm :: President has East Room Teleprompter reading to the nation. [8 hours later!]
2:00am :: OBL’s body was buried at sea, in accordance w Islamic law, at 0200 DC time, per US official. – Jake Tapper
I don’t like this burial at sea stuff at all because it is going to create more questions than answers.
As one Freeper put it: A Certificate of Life Death will be issued as soon as one can be scanned in! 😎
Here I thought he was in the West Wing of the White House all this time!
A Certificate of Life Death will be issued as soon as one can be scanned
hehe
OBL’s body was buried at sea, in accordance w Islamic law, at 0200 DC time
Body already gone? Huh?
Another rat……
……although burial at sea is uncommon for Muslims
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/02/bin-laden-body-buried-sea
Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world’s most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said. So the U.S. decided to bury him at sea.
The official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters, did not immediately say where that occurred.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110502/ap_on_re_us/us_bin_laden_burial
Ah, I see, finding a country was difficult, no one wanted the body of Osam bnLadn.
This is reminding me of Good Old Shoe in Wag the Dog.
Hmmm. I wonder what Bin Laden’s plan was, deliberately hiding from public view all of these years. Not one single video. In an age of ubiquitous hand held video. Not even a quick flip of the bird to W as a reminder that he’s still around.
Buried at sea, you say?
If Bin Obama’s poll numbers tank even further can we expect a news conference where he reveals the Roswell corpses?
Time to pin another one on the board…
http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/magazine/15-11/st_best
Didn’t I read some where that the US suspended drone attacks in Pakistan? They were unpopular with the Pakistan people and a problem for the Pakistan government. If my memory is correct, then it is pretty apparent why the US suddenly new where O.B. was hiding.
