Al-Qaeda: Yeah, He’s
Toast
Observing the formalities.

Al-Qaeda has made it official, releasing a statement that confirms the
death of its leader, Osama Bin Hidin In His Bedroom For Five Years.
The New York Post relays an excerpt from the statement, which is still
being reviewed by terrorism experts for authenticity: “We in al-Qaeda
organization pledge to Allah the almighty and ask for his help,
support, and steadfastness to continue on the path of jihad, the path
walked upon by our leaders, and on top of them, Sheikh Osama.” I
join them in hoping to see Sheikh Osama piled on top of their other
leaders someday. It’s possible, if the tides in the Arabian Sea
are just right, and we sink the rest of their leaders deep enough.
Al-Qaeda also called upon “our Muslim people in Pakistan, on whose land
Sheikh Osama was killed, to rise up and revolt to cleanse this shame
that has been attached to them by a clique of traitors and thieves who
sold everything to the enemies. We call upon them to rise up
strongly and in general to cleanse their country from the filth of the
Americans who spread corruption in it.”
There were some protesters marching in Abbottabad today, and per
al-Qaeda’s wishes, they certainly were revolting. Current
estimates put the crowd size at roughly one thousand, with a smaller
demonstration in another city, Quetta, organized by a pro-Taliban
party. According to AFP, one of the banners said, “If you want to
save Pakistan, you will have to break the chains of American
slavery.” So, no more foreign aid for Pakistan, then? I
think we might be able to reach an understanding with these folks.
Reuters provides another choice quote from the al-Qaeda statement,
directed at jubilant Americans: “Their happiness will turn into sorrow,
and their blood will be mixed with their tears.” That’s a pretty
good description of the White House press office these days, as they
roll out Version 28.5 of the bin Laden raid story.
The new story is that bin Laden was “scared and completely confused”
during the raid, unarmed but within reach of several weapons.
This is very different from the beta-test bull shoveled by the Obama
team in the early hours after the raid, where bin Laden was portrayed
as a cornered gangster with a blazing AK-47 in one hand, and a
matrimonial body shield in the other.
They’re also now saying that only one of the people killed during the
raid was armed, while bin Laden’s son was blown away after he “rushed
down from the third floor and confronted the SEALs.” I would
advise against confronting SEALs at the bargain DVD bin of a Wal-Mart,
let alone during a commando raid.
I’ve got no problems with liquidating bin Laden and everyone who
participated in hiding him, no questions asked, no matter what they
were doing last Sunday night. It’s increasingly insulting to both
the SEALs, and Americans, that the White House thought they had to
revise the true history of the raid into a Michael Bay film in order to
gain our support and admiration. This White House spends way too
much time worrying about the delicate feelings of its childish
hard-Left base and their international auxiliaries… and none of that
tender concern stopped cretins like Michael Moore from filling the
Internet with paranoid ravings anyway.
Al-Qaeda says the world will soon hear a final audio message from bin
Laden. It was recorded a week before his death, so it won’t be
“Hang on a second, someone’s at the door.” It would be nice to
have those bin Laden death photos to look at while we listen to
al-Qaeda’s number one cockroach skitter across the world stage one last
time.
