Mort: Notes on the decaffeination of Osama bin Laden:::::The ethical implications of celebrating even a monster's demise:::::Are we just as barbaric as the Romans at their worst?:::::Will the wingnuts try to frame this as a hoax?

By Jack Brummet, Unexplained Phenomena Editor

 

 

My friend, Jason Larsen, wonders if the very public and emotional celebration of Osama bin Laden's death shows our barbaric side?  My knee-jerk reaction was--come on, don't be a weenie, Jason.  But in fact, as a student of Roman history, yeah, it spooks me to the core.  Especially because I am one of the ones who, if not enjoying this, are feeling at least relieved, and even more guiltily, very glad it happened on BHO's watch.  My feelings about that are mixed--I've been a skeptic about President Obama's stances on war and gay marriage, and a couple of other issues.  I never thought we should escalate the war the way we have.  But I always thought we should crank up the CIA, Special Forces, and The Spooks in general in our efforts to eviscerate Al Qaeda (including cutting off the snake's head). I don't know if the massive troops deployments helped in this or not, but clearly the intelligence and counter terrorism operations and maybe even Black Ops, did lead us to this moment. Let's just not get carried away and have a jump the shark/Team America celebration about this. 

I wonder what my Buddhist friends (whose hearts I trust) think of this joyous celebration? It is a little unseemly yes, even barbaric--ala Rome--but like I just wrote to Jason, I think I would have been one of the street dancers on April 28, 1945, when Hitler decommissioned himself. Yeah I do feel sorry for his four or five wives and 24 children. I don't feel all that much joy, but a lot of relief. Is it misplaced relief? Or false relief? Probably. But it's something. A big something.

 

One of my Facebook friends wonders if the birther wingnuts will claim this is all cooked up.  Or that we kept his corpse in a freezer to pop out at just the right moment (which numerous "news" sites and bloggers have already postulated).  Trust me, The Company will have a iron-clad chain of evidence detailing the facts and meetings that led up to this, along with DNA, photos and video as it happened--none of which they will release unless their backs are up against the wall...or Julian Assange/Wikileaks gets their hands on it.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says bin Laden is, and has been holed up in Washington, D.C. (or as we call it here, the Other Washington)

By Jack Brummet

All This Is That Foreign Policy Analyst

In response to the hints and allusions-- emanating from the U.S. and in an upcoming documentary--that Osama bin Laden is alive and well and living in Iran, Iran's president Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that that the terrorist leader is probably living in in Washington, D.C.

In an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, The President of Iran responded to a claim in new documentary "Feathered Cocaine" that bin Laden has been living comfortably in Tehran, Iran, for years.  Your question is laughable," Ahmadinejad said with a smile.   "I heard that Osama bin Laden is in Washington, D.C.," he added.

As you know, at any given time, Ahmadinejad will say just about anything.  I realized tonight that Ahmadinejad is not dissimilar to Momar Qaadafi, and the outlandish things he used to say 20 years ago.

Anything's possible, of course, and for all we know, bin Laden could very well be holed up in a supporter's spacious Georgetown townhouse at this very moment, enjoying a dirty Sapphire martini with three olives and a few of his wives.

Bin Laden escapes the hangman's noose once again

According to NBC news, Bin Laden may have just escaped U.S. forces. An August mission in Afghanistan just missed snagging Public Enemy Number One.

"A little more than a month ago, with the anniversary of Sept. 11 approaching and fears of a new al Qaeda attack rising, some U.S. intelligence and military analysts thought they had found one of the world’s two most wanted men just where they last saw them six years ago." Read the NBC news story here.

The Binster is back--> Osama bin Laden makes a new video appearance & is reportedly tired-looking (have you looked at Dubyah lately?)

President Bush and Sheikh Osama bin Laden in happier times

A new al-Qaeda videotape posted Sunday on a militant Web site featured a short, undated clip of Osama bin Laden praising martyrdom. An A.P. report said bin Laden looked weary.

Bin Laden glorified those who die in the name of jihad, or holy war, saying even the Prophet Muhammad "had been wishing to be a martyr." "The happy (man) is the one that God has chosen him to be a martyr," added bin Laden, who was filmed outdoors wearing army fatigues.

You may remember Donald Rumsfeld's spontaneous poem on finding Osama:

Where is Osama bin Laden?

We do know of certain knowledge
That he is either in Afghanistan
Or in some other country
Or dead.

I can't find the video yet, but did locate Osama bin Laden's appearance on The Family Guy.
