Tale of Bin Laden's Demise

The NYT has an article on how Bin Laden was taken out. What seems clear is that the raid very narrowly avoided disaster, as the clueless Pakistanis were scrambling forces in response to what they perceived as an attack. Had the US SpecOps team been a little slower, or lost the use of their remaining chopper, then the situation could have turned into 'Blackhawk Down'. I wonder what that would have done to US-Pakistani relations?

Meanwhile, the Pakistanis are fretting about their country's image.

There was no image worth projecting, about that rotting cesspool of a country !

These western leftist loons have always to tried to pull wool over the public's eyes through their idiotic media outlets.

It is the most open secret that the Pakistani public supports jihad - overtly or covertly; they are embarrassed that they were caught with their pants down, surely they condone the atrocities in the name of jihad.

At least after the Abbottabad shootout, it’s clear the administration isn’t kidding itself. When it got a shot at Bin Laden, it took it. No dithering. No dilatory diplomacy. Secrecy was maintained. The Pakistanis were cut out. And justice was done.

It was so pathetic to see Digvijay Singh lamenting on NDTV about Osama being given burial at sea. He has surely honed the fine art of fellating the mullas.

On a side note Abbottabad is named after General James Abbott a British saboteur of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's kingdom after his death.
