Fox News: Spiritual Asshat YASSIN CROAKED!!!
2004-03-21
Details to come. Just announced in a "flash"...

Ululation may commence!!!

Hamas has issued a statement threatening to kill every Israeli in their homes. Dire Revenge™ will be coming. Sharon is reported to have personally approved the zap, which means they'll be trying to get him too. This isn't going to be pretty, no matter how much it was needed.

#46  Or just any reason to shoot in the air to see who can be killed at random.

Bravo. Author! Sadly, this probably will be lost entirely upon the person it was directed at.

Does anyone else get a feeling Yassin had just finished another session of froth laden prayer for an endless violent cycle in the Middle East before emerging on schedule from that mosque?

A person must be very careful about what they wish for ...

Let's hope so. At least then he would have experienced a second or two of the same terror he's unleashed on so many innocent Israelis.

Ding, dong, the warlock's dead! Ulululululululululu :-p

#44  Yes...it is our turn to be gleeful...as we should...as I recall the scene in the West Bank and Gaza on 9-11 where there was celebrations in the streets over our grave losses. May the Paleos suffer another 3,000 days like this one.

#43  So, peacenik, we take it that the UN Vote to establish Israel is now meaningless, along with that "august" institution?

The israelis are there to stay. Put your money where your mouth is, go to the west bank, and stand in front of an armored bulldozer to express your solidarity with people who think it's marevellous to blow themselves up and into heaven, riding on the shrapnel riddled bodies of JOOOOOS.

#42  Israel is a ZioNazi colonialist imperialist land grab in the middle east. The UK and the UN had no right to "give" part of Palestine to Israel and to colude with the ethic cleansing of that land...
You will reap what you sew... Violence Breads Violence. Zionism is Ethnocracy. Neither the USA nor Israel are democratic nations. They are imperialist war criminals and pirates.

#39  OMG Wikipedia just confirmed it ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheikh_Ahmed_Yassin

"Yassin was killed in another Israeli attack on March 22, 2004 as his car was hit by missiles from helicopter gunships as part of an ongoing Israeli retaliation against Hamas-sponsored suicide bombings. The Sheik was leaving an early morning prayer session when the missiles hit. The Shiek was instantly killed, and two of his sons were injured. The attack followed Sheik Yassin's taunt that Israel's response to the Ashdod suicide bombers was weak, and that Hamas will only gain strength on account of Israel's weak response."

#36  CBS2 (NYC) just reported it too (they're on Zawahiri and the suitcase nuke now) -- they're leaving it at "reported to", but nothing to deny it ...

ALLAHU AKBAR!!

#35  phil_b - Yep, they're definitely playing up the absurd fiction of the political wing vs the militant wing. This is the immediate fallback position, I guess, for the apologists and symps. Certainly works for the Eeeewwwww, eh?

Tonight I raise a glass of wine in toast to the pilots and the planners of the airstrike. You all made the world just a little safer.

#29  "Gunfire was heard in the Sabra neighborhood where Yassin lives."

Either a power struggle now that a vacuum exists, or the surviving bodyguards are being 'fired'.

#28  Arafish definitely and could we get Erekhat, too, please?
(I hate that guy)

In the spirit of that Special Olympics comment, wouldn't it have been great if Yassin could have been pushed off the deck of the Achille Lauro?
Posted by: Jen   2004-3-21 11:27:15 PM  

#27  Dire Revenge™ will be coming next. They'll turn themselves inside out to kill as many as possible.

On the other hand, we get to watch the succession struggle, too. And maybe a push at just the right point will set off the large-scale shoot-em-ups that the Paleos have been working up to among themselves.

#25  So who's next?
Mr. Rantissi, Mr. Arafat any comment?
Posted by: tu3031   2004-3-21 11:22:19 PM  

#24  Jen,

Per Fox, "Gunfire was heard in the Sabra (search) neighborhood where Yassin lives."

Perhaps the Paleos are celbrating also. Or just any reason to shoot in the air to see who can be killed at random.

Feeling a little warm, asshole?

#22  Very cool Jen. As long as you shoot your AK straight up in the air there shouldn't be any problem. What goes up, stays up. Don't know why, but damn, facts is facts!

#19  Jen,

The difference to appreciate is that the Israelis will not be dancing in the streets, though they have cause to.

#18  Coolness.

#17  It has taken quite a while for the swarm to coalesce... cuz he was hit coming out of the moskkk after the Fajr prayer - you know, the one that happens at o'dark 30...

And being such good Mooslims there was almost nobody else around...

Allah's Will. Saruman Eats a Mav. Cool. Good call, Allah.

#16  I like to think that the Israelis are dancing in the streets now, too!
Can't stop ululating, swarming cars or passing out candy!
Where's my AK-47 so I can fire it into the air?!
Happy happy joy joy!!

#13  I just asked my wife if it is wrong that, on hearing that Yassin had been killed, I had thrown my arms up in the air and said "Yes!"

#11  Moron Fox News Reporter in Jerusalem, Jennifer Griffin, calls this a "major escalation". Uh ya think? F**lin Duh. There's excitement mixed with sympathy in her voice - very typical for someone who has interviewed the deceased motherfucker numerous times and never found his asshattedness to be intimidating. Now saying he had absolutely no remorse for the suicide bombings, yet you can still hear the sympathy. Breaks me up - that she didn't die with him - doing an in-depth piece.

She says this is a very big deal, yadda3, and that RantSissy will prolly take over as Hamas leader in Gaza. Fine, WTF cares?

Wheelchair swarm! Unique moment in greasing murderous assholes! Hallelujah! Eat a Mav, mofo!
