Hooray! mission accomplished! Now bring all of our troops home.

There's a war?

 
woodpecker from mars 2008-05-08 05:30:22 PM  
Wow, that's great. Let's all hold hands and sing kumbaya, thankful that our troops will come home immediately and we've made Iraq a beautiful, peaceful land of sunshine.

Still waiting on our flowers and accolades. Where is our festival?

A Guide to this Thread


Option 1: Declare the "war" is over if the head of the snake is taken out.

Option 2: Cry "perpetual war" and make the "#1#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2..." arugment.

 
MaxxLarge [TotalFark] 2008-05-08 05:40:04 PM  
Yay! They got the Al-Qaeda #2! And this is somehow different than the other 2,417 times they claim to also hace gotten the Al-Qaeda #2!

I swear, that whole "organization" is full of more #2's than the porta-potties at Woodstock '99.

 
Ima10urin8 [TotalFark] 2008-05-08 05:41:24 PM  
Just in time for the elections

Republicans on schedule, libtards still fighting amongst themselves

 
BearToy [TotalFark] 2008-05-08 05:46:21 PM  
But the Democrats are busy working on funding the war occupation into early 2009 so the troops must stay and continue being blown apart until Cheney's oil is safe.

I wonder how the nutbars over on hillaryis44.org will take this news. Suicide negotiators to be on high alert.

Thank god. Now if he'll just tell us where he hid all the oil, we can take our payment and leave.

There's been a war on?

 
drippygoo 2008-05-08 05:48:11 PM  
Doesnt matter that we got this #1 guy.

Think about it, they already have a new #1 person leading them, thats pissed.

Pretty sure we all saw Matrix. Not obscure enough.

Not impressed.

You forgot option 3: constantly move the goalpost and declare that the war can't end because some undefined goal has yet to happen.

 
flixter 2008-05-08 05:49:55 PM  
This can't be. They can't "arrest" him until October when it will be politically cripling to the Democrats who are against the war. May be they'll trot Osama Bin Laden out then,

 
Lando Lincoln [TotalFark] 2008-05-08 05:50:08 PM  
This is great news! I can't wait to see the victory parades in NYC! Good job, Bush administration! We didn't think that you'd pull through for us, but we were so wrong!

Or is this one of those "turning a corner" moments?

It is, isn't it? Crap.

 
Funk Brothers 2008-05-08 05:50:28 PM  
Where's Obama?

Last time I heard, he was in Morgan Spurlock's basement rotting.

Err...I meant Osama.

 
Skeptos 2008-05-08 05:50:34 PM  
We got bin Ladin? Awesome!

Oh, wait.

 
scratched 2008-05-08 05:50:34 PM  
Great, we've turned another corner!

I've lost track... what are we up to now? Octadecagon? Enneadecagon?

The stupid in this thread is going to be astounding.

No one can deny this is a good thing, unless they are happier with the head of al-Qaeda in Iraq running around and plotting to kill US soldiers.

Will he be replaced immediately? Sure. But it's a good thing nonetheless.

It's different because we caught #1, not #2 #2418.

And like Meruru said:

cousin-merle: Woohoo! We got the guy in charge of the organization that exists solely as a direct result of our invasion! U-S-A! U-S-A!!

We invaded a sovereign nation to capture the leader of an organization that not only didn't exist prior to the invasion, but only came into existence BECAUSE of the invasion.

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?

barneyfifesbullet 2008-05-08 05:52:36 PM  
How many #1's are there?

Are they like the #2's and #3's?

King Something: We invaded a sovereign nation to capture the leader of an organization that not only didn't exist prior to the invasion, but only came into existence BECAUSE of the invasion.

I was typing that. I'll stop now.

 
whidbey [TotalFark] 2008-05-08 05:52:50 PM  
Damn it, Bushie, you're supposed to wait until October for this.

Oh wait, that's Iran.

 
tgregory 2008-05-08 05:52:56 PM  
let's waterboard the piss out of that guy and get whatever information we can.

PowerSlacker 2008-05-08 05:53:20 PM  
I came to celebrate Hillary's departure from the 2008 election.

I leave bitterly disappointed.

They should put her in charge of the war. She would make them all leave her house..In Jesus name I pray.

DARKSIDDED!

Yes, that pretty much nailed it.

So what about...

papundits.files.wordpress.com

Oh it's only been 7 or so years now that we've been after this guy.

 
Adjective Bird Whiskey [TotalFark] 2008-05-08 05:54:44 PM  
If they have to ask you if you're that notorious criminal guy, say no.

However, if they ask if you are a god...say yes.

PowerSlacker: I came to celebrate Hillary's departure from the 2008 election.

She gets a few superdelegates right off the bat because of her "obliterate" Iran comment, you do know that?

Oh, I am sure this thread will be flooded with posts from anti-Iraq war liberals who will proudly declare "Although I disagree with the reasons for this war and I don't like George Bush, I want America to succeed, even in Iraq, and catching Al-Qaeda's leader there is (hopefully) a great achievement toward that end.

If not flooded--then many. Or at least some. A few. Any?

 
Pillager 2008-05-08 05:55:25 PM  
KaponoFor3: The stupid in this thread the heads of dumbya's supporters is going to will continue to be astounding.




FIFY

If we don't stay in Iraq forever, we've lost?

To Hell with that, we need to let Iraq figure out its own future.

 
mediaho 2008-05-08 05:55:48 PM  
Dr.Zom: She's still alive!

Holy crap! Never would have expected that. Then again, until today on Fark, I thought Ministry broke up at least a decade ago.
