May 2, 2011 [b]: Osama hideout

Undertoad · 05-02-2011, 11:55 AM

Last night, Pakistani Sohaib Athar unwittingly Tweeted Osama's death raid, writing things like

"Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event)."

"Since taliban (probably) don't have helicpoters, and since they're saying it was not "ours", so must be a complicated situation"

"people are saying it was not a technical fault and it was shot down. I heard it CIRCLE 3-4 times above, sounded purposeful."

In a few hours, people realized that he had been tweeting the killing operation, and first the Internet descended on him in a swarm: "Interesting, I didn't think my name would trend on twtter before releasing a couple of rock albums and a few award-winning software...."

This morning he notes "Can't believe #binladen lived right next to my grandma's home in #abbottabad." and twits the above pic with "Here's a picture of OBL's hideout in Abbottabad, as shared by a friend"

A nice quiet hideout for retirement, in what looks like a nice town and a good section of the country.

Athar is a CIA agent, planting the story on the net. The whole thing happened in the same studio as the fake moon landing.

Ok, let's see:

Look for Osama for over ten years.

Then:

Find him, kill him, and bury him at sea in less than 24 hours.

Bullshit.

Yeah, you know, they sounded purposeful. Sometimes, helicopters circle over Pakistani cities at 1am out of boredom. The aviation equivalent of loitering. Just kind of hanging out, circling around, nothin' really to do. But not these ones. These ones sounded purposeful, like they were there for a reason. A purpose! That twitter guy has really good ears, able to distinguish between a random loitering helicopter, and a purposeful one.

I wonder what was going thru Osama's head when he heard that chopper? Denial, Anger, Acceptance, Bargaining....his 72 Big-Dicked Toppers?

monster · 05-02-2011, 12:54 PM

a bullet

Undertoad · 05-02-2011, 02:49 PM

No, that right there is a well-executed plan. Apparently the point is to give supporters no specific place to gather and memorialize. As well as having no actual body for people to continually dig up to "prove" some sort of "point".

Keeping the body around on ice would probably piss off Muslims too much, they have strict rules about body handling.

infinite monkey · 05-02-2011, 02:52 PM

I also heard that they didn't think any nation would WANT the body...at sea was the best choice.

UT is right...it's going to be hard to build him a big old shrine out there, and something tells me they don't like shrines that aren't close to where the things that shrines are made for actually happened. They're Shriney Happy People.

True.
It was disrespectful to move the body in the first place (within the faith).

But only those who believe in his extremist views would ever consider him a true Muslim, therefore all bets are off. Back in the 80s I'd have happily seen Gerry Adams buried in unconsecrated ground, despite him presenting as a Catholic. In fact I'd have happily seen his head on a spike on London Bridge and fuck the church burial.

Osama's wife identified him.
How many 6'5" Arabs live in enclaves in Pakistan anyway?

I'm sure they took videos and pics of the corpse.
