So I gotta ask now, who's going to move up to the number 1 spot now? Idk if there is somebody as evil as Laden to take over that spot but that guy will become the new "Bounty Favorite".

Here's a kicker.... This mutha fka was in the middle of a fkn desert and they found him. Saddam was in a hole in the desert and we found him. But Tupac and Biggy get killed in public streets during rush hour, and nobody knows **** about that?!

Oh.. And wtf did they bury him at sea? A guy like that deserves to be hung in the city.

Well they flew his body back out to the ship for ID'ing and according to Islamic tradition the body has to be buried within 24 hours, so we dumped him seaside.

From Wiki

"A 2004 BBC article entitled "Al-Qaeda's origins and links", the BBC wrote:

During the anti-Soviet jihad Bin Laden and his fighters received American and Saudi funding. Analysts believe Bin Laden himself had security training from the CIA.[3]

In a 2006 InDepth piece on Osama Bin Laden, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation published that,[4]

Bin Laden apparently received training from the CIA, which was backing the Afghan holy warriors – the mujahedeen – who were tying down Soviet forces in Afghanistan.

An article in Der Spiegel, in 2007, entitled "Arming the Middle East", Siegesmund von Ilsemann called Bin Laden "one of the CIA's best weapons customers." [5]

For those of you who don't know the history of the situation, Osama was CIA trained to fight against Russia in Afghanistan in order to stop the spread of Communism. The CIA supplied weapons, training and promised financial aid, money for schools, food and rebuilding efforts if and when the CIA trained local cells defeated Russia.

As soon as Russia was beaten back the CIA reneged on all of their promises of aid, rebuilding efforts, and financial support, and left a bunch of angry militants armed and trained by the CIA. Not a big shock that America paid the price eventually.

Its just a damn shame those who actually paid the price where civilians who were totally innocent, instead of those in the CIA who manipulated the Afghani people to fight the war against communism for America.

I don't doubt for a second the orders regarding Osama were kill on sight, because he could have made a LOT of people very uncomfortable had he opened his mouth regarding his history and American involvement in his training.

First Canada has forces in Afghanistan too. Second only an immature idiot would blame the victim of a crime by basically saying "they deserved it". That is a bunch of BS and there was no justifiable reason for Osama to bomb our embassies, the USS Cole, and fly planes into the World Trade Center. These acts had nothing to do with broken promises and more to do with inventing an enemy of their religion to rally supporters to fight for his cause. And his cause to force the middle east to become one country. And force the rest of the world to adopt his views of Islam.

You can thank our idiot cowardly governments for keeping us in afghanistan. Hopefully the rise of the ndp in the polls and the death of bin laden will pressure harper into terminating the mission. Secondly american position regarding the suffering of civilians in iraq, afghanistan, palestine, vietnam, korea, japan, cuba and other countries due to america's policies has always been to blame the victim

Between my girlfriend and myself we spend close to 50k in the U.S. yearly including 30k in property tax for a second home, which is probably more than most 'Americans'

But by all means, because a couple of my comments make you uncomfortable, build a wall across your entire country.

Just imagine what your next tax bill would look like if you had to raise a real military and not that national guard Canada passes off as a military. No wonder Quebec doesn't want to be part of Canada.
