"Who's that guy with the portable dialysis machine?"
"Oh, that's an old friend. Uh, Tim. Tim Osman. Fought in Afghanistan."

That whole 'sovereign nation/pre-9/11 thinking' thing keeps cropping up.

HowlingFrog:NEVAR FORGET!

Amen, brother.

Yeah, Pakistan says a lot of stuff.

Sir Roderick Glossop:Yeah, Pakistan says a lot of stuff.

They talk like a fag and their shiat's all retarded.

"There are none," he said. "It will create such an anti-U.S. feeling in Pakistan that I would say would mar the atmosphere of cooperation that exists between us."

and by cooperation, we mean when we do nothing to catch osama and no one else can help

Does he believe bin Laden is in Pakistan?

"I don't think so. I'm not sure," he said. "Nobody's aware of that. Nobody can speak with certainty. But our policy's very clear. We are allies in this war.


and by allies, we mean that we will actually do nothing to try and find and catch him

pretty sad when your allies are the source of the problem
hellllloooo saud arabia

/with friends like these, who needs enemies ?

Pakistan is a very delicate situation, to put it lightly. The last thing we want is destabilization in a country that has a powerful extremist Muslim movement and nuclear weapons.

Nimby is an awesome name for a pet.

What difference does it make? The people are dead and the damage to this country has been done, mostly by our own cowardly government and its fraidy cat petitioners. What justice can possibly be brought forward?

Oh cmon, no one's looking for him anymore. We all know who did it.

Funny thing about that Bin Laden guy, this lady sure seems to have thought that he was murdered. She named the guy as though the whole thing were common knowledge.

thats TRUE, Jarhead! How quickly we forget. Thank you!!!

KaponoFor3:Pakistan Iraqn is a very delicate straightforward situation, to put it lightly. The last first thing we want is destabilization in a country that has a powerful extremist Muslim movement and nuclear weapons power plants.

Ever notice the "extremist muslim movements poised to gain power if anti-American sentiment is fostered by an ill thought out invasion" thing only stops us when there's something to actually be accomplished in the country? Iraq? That's fine. Iran? Go for it. Pakistan? No wai, we might find bin Laden there! Scary stuff.

I'm curious to hear G.E. Smith's take on the matter.

/not obscure at all

This is just setting up for when he turns up dead around Halloween.

I've seen this one. Obi Wan kills him on Utapau.

Ahh the Cambodia-Vietnam situation.

Who?

Oh, yeah. That Saudi billionaire who financed 19 Saudi terrorists to hijack 4 US planes on behalf of an Afghani terror organization in 2001, and who promptly hid out in a cave in Afghanistan; thus providing the US with an excuse to attack Iraq.

The one we've supposedly been looking for since 2001 and somehow can't manage to find...because he's probably been dead since early 2002? Yeah, I remember him. Whatever.

Well, hopefully we learned from our first expedition out there under the soon-to-be-deified Ray-guns, that the absolute worst thing we can do is to just pack up and take off. The 'paks' might (are) totally incompetent and have their own completely retarded strategic interests, but unfortunately, we're stuck with them.

Also, as a bit of trivia, who led the Pakistani government which was the only country to recognize the Talban? If you answered Benazir Bhutto, you are correct. Just goes to show that no-one in that country's leadership is anywhere close to clean. Oh, and she recognized the taliban primarily because she hoped that they would let unocal build a pipeline out to central asia.

Yeah, that WAS odd.
I wonder if a sunroof latch got him, too.

"Nimby" brings back images of that gymnast I knew I college

/it's probably just me

He's probably sitting and talking with some CIA agents right now, in a subway station in New York. That whole hunt is propaganda. We've been selling them the weapons the whole time anyways, like it matters if we talk to them.

Would you let a foreign nation look for a non-existent bogeyman on our soil?

Why would those dudes who like little boys be looking for Bin Laden?

KaponoFor3:Pakistan is a very delicate situation, to put it lightly. The last thing we want is destabilization in a country that has a powerful extremist Muslim movement and nuclear weapons.

I don't think anyone is advocating some form of invasion. What Obama suggested, for example, was more in line with search or strike teams, much as we used in Indonesia and Sudan after 9/11.

I personally don't know if it would be worthwhile for bin Laden alone (as Bill Maher put it, taking out the man would have the same effect on al Qaeda as Ray Kroc's death against McDonald's), but for the Pakistanis to essentially admit they plan on doing nothing is insane. /submitter

It's bin Laden, with the candlestick, in a Pakistan cave or safehouse.

Oh NOEEEES!!!

How is Bush going to waste time not looking for Osama Bin Laden, if he's not ALLOWED to not look!? How dare Pakistan encourage more loathsome negligence in our president!

I agree. No bombing of France then!

Mauvais Voisin:Also, as a bit of trivia, who led the Pakistani government which was the only country to recognize the Talban? If you answered Benazir Bhutto, you are correct.

Actually, the U.S. not only recognized the Taliban, we actively assisted their rise to power.

/the more you know.

Cause I'm sure the President would let the Pakistani military in to the US to conduct their operations right?

makes ya wonder if we had anything to do with her rise to power...

When the f*ck is India and Pakistan going to nuke each other with material from those Canadian Candu reactors??

/Then we can either blame or hail Canaduh.

This is because they fear and respect our President so much.

"Funny thing about that Bin Laden guy, this lady sure seems to have thought that he was murdered. She named the guy as though the whole thing were common knowledge."

He's probably worth more dead than alive without anyone knowing his true fate, hard to get too pissed off anymore about someone provably dead.

Maby he is by the public, and maby he has been put on the back burner by the politicians, but some of us still remember. Some of us are busting our asses to try to get to Afghanistan. Unfortunately its sort of hard to get there from here.

EsteeFlwrPot:/bin laden is long forgotten
//sucks

What sucks worse than "long forgotten" is "never been charged".
Osama bin Laden is the legend that was planted on day one.

BTW, if you haven't seen the new doco "The 9/11 Chronicles, Part One: Truth Rising", you might find it interesting.

/shamelessly hotlinked

I honestly think it's better for the West if Osama goes on without ever being captured.

The guy is at the same time a charismatic cult-leader to extremist wackjobs, while not really having any real power or control anymore.

Now imagine seeing the video on BBC & Al-Jazeera of this guy being led around by American troops in handcuffs & leg-irons, a circus of a tribunal, than being executed.

That would turn the guy into a martyr, and set off the biggest shiatstorm of Islamic Jihad Lunacy you could ever imagine.

Just let the guy cower in a cave somewhere and die from kidney failure on his own terms. We'll all be better off for it.

Mauvais Voisin:Also, as a bit of trivia, who led the Pakistani government which was the only country to recognize the Talban?

Um, Saudi Arabia also recognized the taliban as the official government. You know, our good pals.

Who cares? Not like we'd go running off to find him anyways.

ScubaDude1960:Actually, the U.S. not only recognized the Taliban, we actively assisted their rise to power.

Well, the US and Britain paid for Taliban training centers in Pakistan. But Pakistan, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia were the only ones to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate gov't of Afghanistan.

Interestingly enough, Bhutto categorically denied in '95 that Pakistan was backing the Taliban in Afghanistan.

krazydiamond:Cause I'm sure the President would let the Pakistani military in to the US to conduct their operations right?

Of course not, but if he knew a guy like bin Laden was hiding out in Montana, I would sincerely hope so.

JohnJacobJingleheimerSchmidt:I honestly think it's better for the West if Osama goes on without ever being captured.

Odd how she was assassinated after saying such.

I see the Truthers are already well represented in this thread. 911 is this generation's JFK assasination / moon landing / Roswell. The easily fooled bored as fark conspiracy nuts have found the mother of all time-wasters in September 11th.

Allow me to take this moment to publicly call you all out as the dumbest motherfarkers on Fark.
