First of all, Osama Bin Laden is still DEAD!
We had a raid on his compound…he was killed…..now there is a partisan pack of idiots out there….patting themselves on the back….Obama made the decision…it was on his shoulders and his watch….kudos….and now we have dipsticks rattling around for position on whether to release the death pics of Osama….choose your argument and tell it to the wind….he (Obama) has made his decision….no release! Now the stoopids that are bitching about it as if it is some sort of conspiracy I say one thing…..LET OSAMA PROVE HE IS STILL ALIVE!
The media has been back and forth….back and forth….all about the photos and who shot who, where and why? Let it GO! The truth is thgat in the Middle East what few articles I read, the concern was not about the inflammatory nature of any photos but rather the burial at sea…….
What this corporate media should be reporting is what I consider a BIG story….they, the media, has asked what would be the consequences of the killing of Osama……and an article in the Arab News points to a possible out come of the raid….This should have been a lead story on the Nightly News….but NO they still want to have the photo debate…pathetic losers! Here is an old fashion idea….TRY REPORTING THE GOOD NEWS for a change….
From the Middle East largest English newspaper…The Arab News……
Alleged Al-Qaeda operative Khaled Hadal Al-Qahtani, who figured high on a list of 47 most-wanted terrorists, has surrendered to Saudi security authorities, Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki announced on Wednesday.The Interior Ministry reiterated its call to all wanted Saudi militants to return to the Kingdom and surrender themselves to security authorities as quickly as possible.
The ministry issued a new list of 47 most-wanted terrorists on Jan. 8. Interpol had issued a worldwide alert for militants with suspected links to Al-Qaeda who are wanted on terrorism charges.
The Saudi suspects posed “a potentially serious public threat at home and abroad due to their suspected involvement with Al-Qaeda,” Interpol said at the time, quoting an Interior Ministry statement.
The vultures that call themselves journalists are busy trying to make some official screw on the record so that they can have some sort of morbid victory…..when there is a good chance that the death of Osama will have a positive effect on the War on Terror…..this is why I look for real news from real sources….
Personally, I want to believe that this surrendering of a terror suspect voluntarily is the shape of things to come…..and that AQ will be on the ropes.
Reporting today in Al-Arabiya News…..Two mid-level Al-Qaeda leaders are killed in Yemen, the Defense Ministry says
I think bin Laden’s death could have positive ramifications for wanted terrorist lobo but I suspect there will still be those who insist on going out in ablaze of glory as martyrs.
None the less it is yelling that I heard of Khaled Hadal Al-Qahtani’s surrender here first rather than the MSM. Why would they overlook such a big story, unless it occurred outside their prime time news cycle. But I’m not even sure that’s a valid reason because a google search this morning only shows the Arab News carrying this story.
Morning lb…..I believe the media is driving a non-existent story…..(read next post)…..like I say…this is why I search for real news….and I wanted to see what the ME reaction was to the death of OBL….to me this is a more important story than the one they are pushing on the details thing….
I agree completely with you (if it turns out to be true). Certainly, why didn’t the media pick this up? Indeed, if true, why did he surrender to the Saudis? Is there a deal to avoid the clutches of the US?
There are a myriad of questions it raises – far more than the OBL “story” except for the fact that it was his death that may have precipitated the surrender.
Like lb, I heard that here first… interesting. Kudos.
One thing occurs to me, though, did the media not pick this up because they actually have no REAL understanding of the whole AQ thing?
Thank you guys…I appreciate it…..another reason I read ME newspapers…..you get the rest of the story…..It is apparently true…I saw alittle of the story on Google last nite….as to why….bet he is running scared and the rest of the organization is too…I would bet
I like to try and keep my readers up to date on things that could be a good story…….
