Closing In On Bin Laden?

That's tough to say. The Blotter suggests yes.

Armed with fresh intelligence, the CIA is moving additional man power and equipment into Pakistan in the effort to find Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al Zawahri, U.S. officials tell ABC News.

Allah chimes in with much more and a more cautious view with which I'd agree.

Really? The U.S. military thought it might have Osama cornered — so they sent in Afghans with bayonets fixed to storm the compound? We made that mistake once before; I doubt we’d do it again.

"Be vewy vewy quiet. Ahm hun'n Tewwowists."

I'll believe this when I actually see Bin Laden's head on a pike. Otherwise, I give it a month before they all throw up their hands and say he died of kidney failure again.

[BobInStamford]

Ah yes, the annual remind her that bin Laden has been 'smoked out' and is 'on the run'. It's also the annual reminder of just how much of a failure the Bush administration is. Surge on, heros!!

[southdakotaboy]

Well guys we've been after the Zodiac killer for years and still haven't caught him and thats right here in the US. On the bright side we've caught BTK and the Unibomber. We will get UBL sooner or later, it is all just a matter of time.

Even if it isn't OBL, I'll be happy with a dead high ranking terrorist. I'd be happier with OBL, but you don't always get what you want.

[Jeff]

I am happy when I hear about any dead terrorist... and I just got word my good friend is going to Baghdad... to kill more terrorists...

Figures- the guy isn't even stupid, he even graduated Magna Cum Laude... And he wants to kill terrorists more than anyone than I know...

Anyway, back on topic. Maybe when we capture him they can hang him on pay-per-view. Big money maker... I would be on Youtube 4 hours later anyway.

[southdakotaboy]

Lets throw him in with a couple hundred hungry pigs and just stand back.

[BobInStamford]

If your friend wants to kill terrorists, why's he going to Iraq??? That bunch of Al Qaeda wannabes are terrorists?? You Mensa geniuses are an odd bunch.

[southdakotaboy]

Or better yet lets throw him into a vat of woodtics and then seal him in.

[Jeff]

Bob/Rob, have you heard of al Qaeda in Iraq, al Zarqawi, al Zawahira. The Muhajadeen, Shura council... No terrorists Iraq... right...
Of course Bob/Rob, a soldier wants to go to Iraq for a noble cause and you naturally have to pick on him (must be a vital part of liberals pro-troop mentality). I don't care, you aren't hurting me or him, he knows why he is going and so do I, I'm not going to let some insignificant pissant change my mind (and reality).

Seal UBL in a cage with one piece of pork... and all the water he needs, eventually he gets hungry, eats the pork, and then we let the wood ticks at him. Yet, I think that would seem unfulfilling. I think just seeing his body, and a look of terror that a coward like Hitler or Hussein always have before they die. Oops there are libs here, Hussein had a right to life.

Round up OBL and his band of merry men and put them into a 747 and fly them around. Give them all the good food they want with the flight attendants in burqas so as not to abuse sensibilities. Slip them some cocaine so their senses are acute and then start wobbling the plane and zinging it close to skyscrapers in NYC. Or Singapore. Any place that has a lot of tall buildings. Scare the living daylights out of them. Then have a couple of those muscle-bound wrestling babes in g-strings come out and start beheading the merry men one-by-one and rolling the heads around the aisles. You'd have to have a couple of 'pigs' with AK47's, or better, Kalashnykovs, aimed at the gang in case anyone wanted to resist.

That's all for now, folks!

"Even if it isn't OBL, I'll be happy with a dead high ranking terrorist. I'd be happier with OBL, but you don't always get what you want."

With this President? You don't ever get what you want.
But keep marching Christian soldier... or... typing, Christian.... typist. There's a war on, and if we don't invade Iran quick, Bin Laden will get away.

[Phoenix]

Fuck it, Zif. Sometimes you just get what you need.

What is it, exactly, that you want, anyway?

[Darth Malice]

I know where Bin Laden is.....Got a sex change and now represents San Fransiko in congress.

[Phoenix]

That was a very clitical remark, Darth. Do you suppose bin Laden is now testicularly challenged and thus rendered harmless?

Wait. Probably not. He'll just join the wenches with their inner-militant vaginas in a twitch.

[Phoenix]

We could make bin Laden sit through the Grammys. Except he'd probably like all the speeches.

[Hard Right]

Time for your Zyprexa little boy.

That's it Zif. All is lost. It's the end of the world. Surrender while we can, waaaaaaaaaa. Could you possibly whine any more? If we had people like you in charge in WWII we'd be speaking German, now.

"Anyway, back on topic. Maybe when we capture him they can hang him on pay-per-view. Big money maker... I would be on Youtube 4 hours later anyway."

Naaaah. Wishful thinking, though:

I'd bet that Youtube would have it blocked or pulled down in a matter of nanoseconds. They have some kind of super-secret "Let's not Offend the Muzzies" blocker software that automatically screens out any anti-jihadist media.

As for Bob/Carl/Artie, pay the anti-social American-hating troll no mind. Eventually he will die off.

OBL? I thought saw him pumping gas in New Jersey. Could be wrong, though.
