so did they cut off his ears,
chain on a couple of cement blocks
and drop him off in the indian ocean before landing on the support ship?

    I remember the day when I first came here
    And smelt the sweet Abbottabad air

    The trees and ground covered with snow
    Gave us indeed a brilliant white glow

    To me place seemed like a dream
    And far ran a lonesome stream

    The wind hissed as if welcoming us
    The pine swayed creating a lot of fuss

    And the tiny cuckoo sang it away
    A song very melodious and gay

    I adored the place from the first sight
    And was happy that my coming here was right

    And eight good years here passed very soon
    And we leave our perhaps on a sunny day

    Oh! Abbottabad we are leaving you now
    To your natural beauty do I bow

    Perhaps your wind’s sound will never reach my ear
    My gift for you is a tear

    I bid you farewell with a heavy heart
    Never from my mind will your memories thwart

Abbottabad Poem by General Sir James Abbott KCB (12 March 1807 – 6 October 1896)

Yeah, with us closing in on all sides  ;)

Wrong.  We were closing from the West side and the Russkies were closing from the east side.  ;)

Picky ... ain't I? =D

Well, they were our "Allies" at the time, along with the British.

I can think of a better use of the body. Stuff it like a deer head and put it on tour.
10 bucks to get you picture taken with it. Think of the money you could make.


Or bury him with a couple of pigs and his 40 transvestite virgins.

You could probably put a serious dent in the deficit.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

This just in from a bar down the real Jersey shore.

Its a good place if you happen to be in Sea Side Heights. They do a good job of keeping out the jersey shore trash. Or as we like to call them sea side tonys.

A fairly reliable somewhat inside kind of source sent me a very convincing photo of what is purportedly the kill photo. Given the fact that he has sometimes forwarded bogus info and there's supposed to be more than a few bogus photos circulating I will refrain from posting it here in fear of passing on,,,bogus info. It'll be interesting to see if it matches if and when they release an official version. The text revolved more around when the investigation of who leaked the photo would be starting. In the past he has sent me other stuff of similar sensitivity days before it hit the presses so I do give some credibility to the photo, but not 100%.

Suffice it to say, whoever it is in that photo, and it does definitely look like OBL, there was very little of his brain left in his skull. I'd say he was dead before he hit the floor.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
