Well, there goes the plot for Rocky 7: Rocky Balboa vs. Osama Bin Laden. Oh well, back to the bear idea.

But watch out for reprisals, people...

History Made: Fox News Credits Obama for Killing Osama Bin Laden

You know when Fox News is singing President Obama's praises something serious has gone right in America. I mean, everybody else on every single news channel was saying that Obama -- in concert with our heroic military troops who carried out a daring attack -- pulled off one of the gutsiest, bravest operations in years.
But Fox News?
They were actually saying the same thing.
I half expected Fox News to blame Obama for not killing Bin Laden twice. Or not killing him with the right weapon. But no, Fox News actually gave the president credit.
I know, scary stuff. The anti-Obama network used words like "historic" and a "very great success," which has my head spinning.
You know, maybe the Fox spinmeisters didn't show up to work on Sunday -- maybe they'll arrive at work on Monday morning and say, "Wait a second, we gave Obama an ounce of credit?! Who authorized that?"
Then, get this, at 1:38 a.m. they actually quoted NPR -- in a positive manner.
The world has been turned on its head.

1st April has simply been delayed, Natina. It's another conspiracy lol.

You got the fucker! Forget Obama for 5 minutes and celebrate the fact that you finally nailed the nasty, spiteful, evil c**t (to employ more moderate language than I would in private).

Now you should hang the bastard's corpse from a gibbet on Ground Zero until it rots.

Yep, when I saw the thread title my first thought was, 'Oh yeah, another of Dino's polls."

I lost one friend on 7/7 and another's daughter was maimed for life. Quiet satisfaction, but no thirst for further revenge, which is what I suspect their families will feel.

As I said right at the start of this thread, his passing won't fundamentally change anything. This isn't a conventional war by any means, and until our leaders grasp that fact and start acting accordingly, we are going to lose more and more innocent lives on both sides of the conflict in Afghanistan, just as we did previously in Iraq, and for no discernible effect or purpose.

Agreed, robertlouis, but one is only human and at least for a day let's not pretend that revenge isn't very sweet indeed.

By the way how does one manage to incorporate the quote from the post to which one is replying (i.e. like what you have just done)?
