God, that's awful and goes on for three freakin' minutes... the pain.

On topic: This story is depicting the alleged bin Laden family terrorized. If Seal! Team! Six! had merely abducted them instead, or made the Paks do it.. And abusing the image of our military by presuming they cannot capture an unarmed family, well..

Anyhow, I don't know what to believe about "this family" - it's all propaganda, imo.

- it's all propaganda, imo

Sure sounds like BS.

Damn, Rcade! You removed my original comment again.

Nothing is as it seems or as we are told, including 9-11, and most of what we read outside of our local news. Be cynical, be very cynical. It will change nothing, but in the end you won't go to your grave being a sapsucker for the official manipulators.

Someone should run the words "Don't be a Jihadist Fool, Stay in School" with a picture of Bin Laden and a brief summary of this story in a professionally produced PSA and then run it on Al Jazeera for the next 10 years.

You know, fer the lulz.

Be Well.

Just like the American Taliban conservatives. Advocate war for everyone's kids except their own. At least he himself fought on the battle field which is much more than I can say for Bush, Cheney, Rove, Romney, Santorum and Newt. Chicken Hawks the lot of them

i own a bridge in Brooklyn that I would like to sell you.

Yo kids, Bin Laden waged Jihad so y'all ain't got to!

What a good father. He didn't want his children to grow up to be like him.

Should tell you something he realized about the path he chose.

"don't do what I am doing or what I have done"

Don't do what I do...do what I say.

"I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life--I don't apologize--to take care of my family, and I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those bigshots. I don't apologize--that's my life--but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Corleone; Governor Corleone.

Dear Kids;
I used to be rich. Our family bought and sold U.S. Presidents. Now, thanks to jihad, I'm sitting in a shitty building in a shittier country, living with two of your shittiest mothers and watching a 13 inch black and white TV, using two coathangers for an antenna.

Taking out ships and skyscapers is cool and all that, but watching America Idol reruns for the rest of my days here is going to suck. Be like your uncle the King, if you want dead Americans, sic them on your neighbors.

I can believe this. Nobody knows better than Bin Laden that most jihadists are total suckers. He used hundreds, if not thousands, of them as pawns. In Tora Bora alone hundreds died so that he could escape. The last thing he wants is one of his kids being an entry level jihadist. They die quickly.

The last thing he wants is one of his kids being an entry level jihadist.

Your right Sully-there's more sideways, down ward and generally all over the place advancement than just upward. And no earthly reward for a successful suicide mission.

But I would have thought Bin laden's kids would have started higher up - being born with a silver box-cutter in their mouth.

Said his brother in law! Oh that's reliable. Next they'd have his mother tell us what a good child he was and how he could never do such a thing.
