Can you say “backfire?”
Radical Muslims are already calling the site of Osama bin Laden’s ocean burial the ‘Martyr’s Sea’, according to one of Britain’s leading Islamic scholars.
The US said the decision to drop bin Laden’s body into the North Arabian Sea was taken to avoid creating a shrine for the slain Al Qaeda chief.
So instead of creating a shrine on land, we gave ‘em a whole sea. Nice work, Obama administration! I supported the burial at sea, but the idea of telling the crazies where we turned OBL into shark bait should not have been part of the deal. This was a time for less is more on information, but it’s about the only part of the story that Team Obama has managed to keep consistent. Perhaps this part was, to them, the part that really mattered most… Wouldn’t want to offend the enemy who has been waging war on us for decades, and whose figurehead we just iced, would we?
When are we going to learn that every attempt to kowtow to the people who want to kill us, only does more harm than good? It never works and makes us look like weak fools.
Never, that’s when.
I can’t wait to see the first images of someone emulating George Patton during WWII as he did his part to increase the flow rate of the Rhine River, as the emulator(s) work to raise the level of the “Martyr’s Sea”. I’m just sorry it won’t be me doing the emulating.
Sigh! There is just no winning a propaganda contest with these people.
We should’ve tossed him into the sea at the North Polar ice cap since a frozen wasteland is one of the versions of Islamic hell.
Yes muslim do have a hell but since they never do anything wrong no matter what it is it’s probably quite empty aside from a couple who just happened to be holding hands when struck by lighting and all the muslim women who’ve ever been raped by other muslims.
I’m glad I get to go to my own culture’s version of hell since it’s probably not all that different from the neighborhood I grew up in anyway; let’s just say we liked to push the envelope.
Muah-ha-ha-ha! I am the god of hell fire and I bring you fire, I’ll take you to burn
Fire, I’ll take you to learn
I’ll see you burn
Rock and roll is evil.
We should have dumped him off Cuba in the Bay of Pigs.
And calling Bin-Laden a Martyr as well.
I just call him “Chum.”
O.K. So now I start up a company that sells fish food for home aquariums. Each can of my “Bin Laden” blend will feature his mug with a big fat hole between his crossed eyes. Finally, a way to get rich without really trying!
I can’t wait to watch the scientists trying to decide what caused a massive fish die-off in the North Arabian Sea. Hummmm…..
