Bin Laden about to be captured

[Calliope]

You're forgetting the goats, the godbotherers and the hills.

gg

Goats should only be a short distraction. Still, they are hard to catch in the hills. That could hold them up.

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

Have they taped a GPS to his leg or something?

Anyways, if they are 4 miles away they could circle the area with troops and emu march to the centre.

Radius of 4 miles so the circum of the area is 40.192km. Have troops positioned 50 metres apart with a "fox" trooper every 200 metres to check out holes.

No one leaves the circle until cleared. Simple as that.

Also mate they are American soldiers, not Aussies, they all move huddled together less than a metre apart, and wouldn't know how to do an emu march.

No, you assume I was forgetting it. You assumed wrong. It isn't hard to walk in basically a straight line to a known point, regardless of terrain.

How are goats going to cause a concern? All people in the circle are intterogated and don't leave until confirmed not to be whoever they are looking for.

Just had a comical mental image after the "emu" order comes over the radio of a bunch of top notch US solders standing around staring at each other muttering "WTF is an emu"

...........well it was funny in my head

cheers

suicide goats

Yes mate, but again, these are american troops and they shoot at anything that moves including goats.

Also how would you believe the godbotherers in this part of the world that you would have to interrogate.

And all this with goats going up and hills all about.

[Stan 101]

By godbotherers, do you mean local people? If so, the US trained soldiers should all have a permanent memory and perfect recall of Bin Laden's face. That is if the US government is serious in attempting to bring him in.

So with the soldiers having an intimate recall of Bin laden, the interrogation could be a simple as a close up inspection of the local's face before they are allowed outside the perimeter.

It's not a real difficult concept, garpul. Time consuming, yes but not difficult. And with the time wasted (7 years or so now) searching for the guy already, what have they got to lose?

I'm actually suprised they don't just firebomb a 5 mile radius. They were quite happy to enter Iraq and directl and indirectly kill thousands of innocent local people there. Why does the US warmachine now suddenly have morals if as you say have Bin Laden generally located?


cheers,

cheers,

Stan I can't agree with you there. If you annihalated the whole populace you'd be as bad as the godbotherers who blew up the Twin Towers.

Goats yes,

The hills there are something to be seen I'm told, although its the biggest dope growing place on the planet, so there must be flat areas.

The goats shouldn't be a problem though, as long as you didn't waste time comparing their facial features with Bin Laden to which they bear an uncanny resemblance.

You don't need to agree with me. That's the point of opinion.

I personally don't think the US should annihalate the 5 mile region. I said I'm suprised they haven't.

Personally, though I don't see the people responsible for the twin towers any worse than the people of the US involved in the massacre that was the invasion of Iraq a few years back. They were both terribly evil events caused by terribly evil people.

The simple fact it that if similar buildings were brought down in any other country the US wouldn't have given two hoots about it beside the required diplomatic sympathies.

I still think "operation emu walk" (or is that emoo for the yanks?) will have Bin Laden caught in weeks. Tell your mate I want credit when my method comes good. A simple asterix derived footnote on the offical report will be sufficient.


cheers,

Nothing on the ABC or SBS News yet..

GG..you sure of your intel source?.

This could go down as the April fool joke in July!

 

[trainspotter]

When was the last time there was a credible souce that concluded Osama Bin Laden is alive? Some dodgy, scratchy recordings have emerged and they are more than likely OLD sermons when he was rallying the troops prior to 9/11 but NONE since Barack Obama has taken over.

My suspicion is that Osama Bin Hiding is really Osama Bin Blownup when the yanks hit the mountains with a couple of trillion tonnes of C4 explosives.

GG's intel is about as much use as Army Intelligence. There is no such thing, an oxymoron of biblical proportions.

 

[Boyou]

Too Funny...Trainspotter!

Perhaps he is behind the intel? ..making him Osama Bin Funnin

I havn't had such a good read since I looked at the joke thread

Cheese

 

[MrBurns]

I have it on good reports from mates in the US military in Helmand Province that the mass murderer and number one godbotherer in the World, has been identified in a hole in Helmand Province.

gg

Well fill it in !

I thought he was in Paskistan.........

 

[gooner]

Catching Saddam didn't do much to stop the fighting in Iraq, so I doubt killing Osama will do much to stop religious nutters blowing themselves up in the West.

Weird thing is that we pay for Islamic schools in Australia and Catholic, Brethren, Scientologist or whatever you want. Might get a bit more peace and understanding if we stopped funding divisive religious schools......

 

[MrBurns]

Has anyone stopped to think if they were that close to him no Colonel would pass that info on so it could be posted on a web site. ?

Seems about as great a breach of security as you coukd get.

Yes, but it's lighthearted to endulge Garpul after he's been on the payote.


cheers

 

[sam76]

What difference would it make?
The hardcore element have already had the knowledge and contacts passed on to them

 

[nunthewiser]

Peyote

thankyou

 

[nunthewiser]

P.s

there is no physical being known as bin laden , he is purely a boogieman created by the imaginative bunch at the C.I.A

the real villain of this "terrorist regime " is actually norma reedsbottom and she posts on internet forums while dressed in tracky dacks and curlers whilst dreaming of escaping from tamworth

It grows wild on the mountainsides, in its natural home, the trans-himalaya.

The seeds drop into the snow, are frozen until spring melts the ground into muddy slush, then comes summer monsoon, followed by hot dry autumn, cycle repeats.

quite a sight to behold, a mountain range full with countless million marijuana plants!

hope they get OBL, but i dont know whether it will make much difference in the long run.

I still think events in Pakistan hold the key.

The majority of Afghans by most accounts are very much against the US presence, and would prefer the Taliban

I reckon US markets would rally on this news, even if briefly, just on sentiment, if it was to eventuate.
