Monte Carlo

Bin Laden is the Chuck Norris of Islamist terror. He could take out a man just by using the power of his twisted mind. I wouldn't take any chances either.

Bin Laden mistakenly filled out his census form in the ultimate Doh! moment.

This reminds me of my tour with the 11th Underwater Knife Fighting Group, part of the Airborne Death Recce Commando. ::sigh::

The astroturfers worrying about Bin Laden would be hilarious if they weren't so serious in terms of moral weakness. UBLs followers and adherents would groom the young and mentally ill to strap explosives to themselves and blow up marketplaces and mosques. Who, seriously, gives a toss about how they disposed of his carcass?

I find it strange that the celebration of the horrific murder of thousands of civilians is being compared to the celebration of the killing of a terrorist leader responsible for thousands of deaths. I'm just not making the connection. I must have missed his trial where he was found guilty of all this. When was it? I told you, they should have incarcerated him in Sweden, where he would eventualy have become a feted member of the local liberal cognoscenti.

I'm perfectly happy with the word assassination.

Could you give a source for this? That would be unfortunate. I heard this on the BBC earlier, same as the 'woman as human shield' stuff which is probably also innacurate. Look, it's fog of war, spin and BS. All governments do it. I couldn't care less if they shot him while he was in the bath. The whole point of stealthy commando ninja stuff is to kill the other guy before he gets the chance to kill you. It's not a 19th century duel.

It is an interesting moral question. Should one man, who is culpable for many crimes and the deaths of innocents, be denied due process and assassinated in order to save the life of many tens of thousands? Of course the answer is yes. Seal Team Six (yay!) should go visit the colonel next, and save us all a lot of trouble.

That's clearly Liverpool city centre on a Sunday morning and I claim my ten groats.

BG1 without tutu can be a bit of a drag, but then again I can't be arsed to install tutu all over again. I've got BG2/ToB with widescreen mod (actually lots of mods) on my laptop and its still good fun, I've got a barbarian dualled to thief on the go at the moment.

He got the same due process he gave the people in the Twin Towers.

Yes, a shout-out to them and the enhanced interrogators too. Would the libtards please start their own thread elsewhere, so they can self-loathe a safe distance from me? tx.

Dothraki slave girl (talking about the queen) - "she has a baby inside her" Assembled throng (sotto voce) - "'tis a gift from the great stallion!" Ouch.

"It's a gift from the Great Stallion" has become catchphrase of the week in my house already.

BTW, Chobham, where the armour comes from, is a leafy little village in Surrey, England. You never see tanks there.

Indeed, the day LoF pretending to be a Russian tries to mock anothers performance in Afghanistan is the day irony died.

I wonder if those shields are standard issue? Anyhow, this is an appreciaton thread, take your irony elsewhere, hippy.

Fair point enoch, but meadnsex is better opiate than cabbage, vodka and hard labour, or prayers and harsh schooling.

Did they take the DNA test before or after they urinated on him? Because that could have skewed the results... [nerd]waste products like urine and faeces aren't great for DNA, unless you are lucky and get some low-copy via other body fluids in the mix.[/nerd]

So Seal Team Six (whoever they are) were the operators who slotted UBL. Good for them. I think the SEALS get a raw deal. The movie was awful, I mean... Charlie Sheen in a golf buggy? Demi Moore with a crew-cut? So this thread is here to say thanks to the guys on SEAL Team Six, hope they get a few beers and medals. And... who's next?

I suppose we could always have asked him to surrender himself to the Dutch or Swedes. He could have written his memoirs whilst having aromatherapy, then get released after three or four years.

I'm civilized and moral and I'm thrilled to bits, then again I don't recognise your legitimacy as the morality police.

Morgie and mkreku would flip out and explode if they accepted America had done something positive.

Muslims have to be buried within 24 hours of their death. They asked the Saudis to take the body, they said no (don't blame them). So do they (a) give more grist to the grievance mill or (b) dump him at sea and give the world's tinfoil hat brigade a boner? It's a lose / lose. Never mind, the bastard is dead, kudos the the US Navy SEALs.
