CNN 'JUST IN' Al Zawahiri NOT killed.
Edited on Sat Jan-14-06 09:27 AM by spanone
So what's all the bullshit about??? Pakistan has stated that we killed up to 18 people in that attack. Not the intended one.

8. But....but...we ALMOST killed him!
It's pretty said when the media doesn't even bother to check for facts before they announce a "big story" to the world. Did they fire all the fact-checkers?

12. Whenever I see these headlines
I think of this song from Spamalot:



ROBIN:
Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!

LANCE:
Here's one.

DAD:
I'm not dead!

ROBIN:
Here, he says he's not dead!

LANCE:
Yes he is.

DAD:
I feel happy. I feel happy.
(sung)
I am not dead yet
I can dance and I can sing
I am not dead yet
I can do the Highland Fling

I am not dead yet
No need to go to bed
No need to call the doctor
Cause I'm not yet dead.

BODIES:
He is not yet dead
That's what the geezer said
No, he's not yet dead
That man is off his head

He is not yet dead
So put him back in bed
Keep him off the cart because he's not yet dead.

Well now he's dead
You whacked him on the head
Sure, now he's dead
It makes me just see red
You are such a brute
To murder that old coot
You homicidal bastard, now he's really dead
Who is the knave who put him in his grave
And who needs to manage his anger?

13. On the news show this am
I heard that it was a good thing that we blew up 18 innocent people as it would strike fear into the hearts of the bogeymen-terraists. The same asshole also told me that al qaeda was no longer in charge or directing terraism and that killing #2 would cripple the terraists cells because they wouldn't be getting any more orders from al qaeda central - like go blow up britain for example. And the nice news lady looked adoringly at him as if she was going to give him oral favors at any moment.

It reminded me why I almost never watch the telly-newz.

18. May I add
18 people dead for WHAT? Another mistake? Who are the terrorists indeed! Why are more people not enraged by this kind of act? Pretty soon this administration will say its ok to bomb an apartment complex because MAYBE one bad guy is in there. What a world.

14. They got what the wanted: Front pages of Saturday papers
Edited on Sat Jan-14-06 09:40 AM by Newsjock
As I look at the front pages of papers, especially across the West, they're full of stories about how ol' Number 2 "may" have been killed. Glory to USA!

Of course, the follow-up story about him not actually being dead -- that will be somewhere near the bottom of Page A17 tomorrow, if it gets reported at all.

The media are played like a violin yet again, and they don't seem the least bit concerned.

20. And those 18 "people" were:
Eyewitnesses said that a majority of the slain victims were women and children. Up to 14 of these victims belonged to one family, they said.

Some of the victims were identified as Hussain Nawaz, a five-year-old child, 9-year-old Mehda Bibi, 10-year-old Sadiqa Bibi, 9-year-old Taib, seven-year-old Zahidullah, Amir Mohammad, Bibi Noor Pari, Shah Baden Bibi, Zahira Bibi, Qari Seedullah and Bekhtpur Khan.

21. But, but, but ...........
.......... I bet we got the newest #3 guy.

Or maybe just a family sitting around.

Or a wedding. We seem to enjoy bombing them.

Maybe a funeral - which is a case of gilding the lily, if ever I heard of one.

Maybe a little school?

Maybe a football team and some substitutes?

Oh, who cares? They're not Americans, so it doesn't matter.

Right?

(Do I really need to add this? :sarcasm:)

27. life is meaningless to 'pro-life' Bush thugs
Killing 18 is nothing when you have the blood of thousands on your hands. They have no souls.

Don't forget, they also killed a very dangerous cow in the attack:

30. Shocking. Simply shocking.
And surprising. Did I mention shocking? :eyes:

Even the public is not immune to this "What? Again?!" reaction. It's a joke. A sick joke.

33. I don't think they're shocked, but I don't doubt that they wonder about it
Edited on Sat Jan-14-06 10:30 AM by txindy
How many times can someone trumpet "We killed the #2 guy!" before the immediate reaction is, "Again? WTH?" It's like the Rehnquist death watch. How many times did that guy 'die'? My favorite retraction was demanded by Rehnquist, himself, who literally WALKED out to the reporters at his gate (the ghouls) and told them off. "I'm NOT DEAD!" It was so sick it was funny.

The public knows we haven't caught OBL and we can't seem to catch the infamous '#2. Heck, we can't even identify a body correctly. Oh, yeah, I think the public has noticed. It's another drop in the bucket that will eventually tip over. Too slowly, yes, but still...

And then not.

Seems like PNN pulls this every 6 months or so.

to take out Al Qaeda members......"women and children first".
