Osama Bin Laden's ultimate victory
2011-05-04
Prepare to be dazzled...
It's Ted Rall. Nothing more need be said, but he does anyway, in his very special way.

#11  It also makes us look dumb. As anyone not drunk on bloodlust knows, the worst thing that could have happened to Osama Bin Laden would have been arrest followed by a fair trial.

Color me dumb, Ted.Do you have the indifference to say that yourself?

#9  He was as bad as Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot.

Nah. He might have wanted to be as bad as those guys but he didn't have what it takes.

#7  U.S. Gave Bin Laden the Martyrdom He Craved...

No Ted. He was given what he deserved - two center mass and one to the bucket. The savages would have called him a martyr even if he had died of a heart attack watching American Idol. Fool.

#6  So much pap. Much of it is not even truthful. I should remind Ted that Usama is dead after 10 years. If that isn't patience and perseverance, I don't know what is. It does not sound as if UBL died a hero's death--he threw a woman in front of himself at a Seal team member. He lived in relative luxury compared to his followers. He did not die a martyr. According to his son's book, he tried to persuade them to become suicide bombers which was declined. Why did UBL not become a suicide bomber himself if he wanted it done? Personally, I think he died a chicken$hit death. He cause untold deaths in this world. He was as bad as Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot.

#5  Ted Rall is in mourning that his Islamic superman got a bullet to the brain, and Americans are finally agreeing on something. His tears are delicious. This week keeps getting better and better. Whose next on the carousel of nitwit know-it-alls? I suspect Red Ken, Cindy Sheehan, and Michael Berg will be voicing their displeasure very soon.

#4  The leftism is this. Of course they aren't aware they made George W.Bush a martyr :))))

#3  What a load of rubbish.

#2  BS. I think many "good Muslims" will start thinking about how heroic a "holy warrior" is who is hiding in a mansion in peaceful territory and using women as a human shield when martyrdom was knocking.
