I doubt he felt a thing. He was either blown to bits on impact, or the concussion liquefied all the important internal bits. Either way he didn't know what hit him.

Yeah pity he couldn't suffer more. Like how other leaders get hunted down by a Seal team and trapped in a dead end. Them fearing for their lives and forced to blow themselves up.

Now to aim one of these drones at Mar A Lago.

Are you implying this POS on a stick should have been given a pass?

I lost friends in 9-11 along with a fairly large chunk of my soul .... everyone involved should be hunted down and skinned alive.

Pretty sure he is talking about the OP. Because praising Biden and Obama for specific accomplishments is the same as Trump-humper cult behavior.

Pretty much all wrong.
I just find the fawning over Joe for something that he had almost nothing to do with a little off-putting.
Clearly you have no idea what my politics are, but like so many you assume that since I won't jump on your bandwagon I'm an enemy. Then follows the declaration of stupidity.
I suppose this all gives you some feeling of superiority, perhaps even a bit manly, that you're able to be rude while well hidden. I have another name for it.

In that case the appropriate reply to my post would have been a "no".

I'll only come after you for the things that you actually say. 😉

If the operation had gone wrong he would have gotten the criticism so if it goes right he gets the credit.

I mean with Afghanistan you didn't hear anyone say 'well Biden had almost nothing to do with the planning', did you?

Yesterday...

www.npr.org

Bin Laden was the face of al-Qaida, but Ayman al-Zawahiri was its hate-filled heart

Al-Zawahiri was deeply involved in the planning of 9/11, and led the organization after bin Laden was killed in 2011. He died in a U.S. drone strike in Afghanistan on Sunday.

I heard about those a couple of years ago. Supposedly you could put it through the passenger side roof of an SUV and not touch the driver.

The “knives” help it penetrate vehicles and walls

Striking difference between the activities that TFG/Biden took part in last weekend.

One hosted a blood money golf tournament backed by those that funded 9-11 on top of his 1st wife's grave site. The other ordered a strike on the last remaining mastermind of said attack while recovering from covid.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

As an aside…seems Trump burying Ivan’s on the club’s property may have entitled Trump to convert the entire golf club into a non-profit cemetery…which includes exemptions from taxes, judgements, plus a few other tidbits.

In this case they evidently knew he was standing alone on a balcony like he was known to do. They must have some tech that enabled that, presumably a drone with high resolution camera.

Uh, I'd figured the knives were to carve up the target. Well, in this case... whoever prepares him for post-death consecrations likely has a tough job. 😵

Two Hellfire missiles probably mean a closed casket no matter what effort they put in.

I imagine this guy would be old enough, that it was mostly a symbolic gesture to take him out.
Given it's AQ, I'm okay with this. Particularly since he was around for the planning of 9-11.

Though I do wonder, 20+ years, we left Afghanistan. At some point it's over, isn't it?
Least until they decide to do something stupid again.
Is this the bow tie on this entire sordid affair, or are we perpetually killing whoever associates with these terrorists?

... whoever associates? Man, he had more to do with 9/11 than anybody including Bin Laden, get a clue. It was HIS project. 🙄

He's already dead dumbshit.
The discussion is whether it is over now. If not now, when?
What should our policy be regarding the War on Terror?

I stated my position and invited others to do the same. Not that you bothered.

Ad hominem attacks are a bad look, motherfucker. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. Your response is incomprehensible. AZ is dead. Over? WTF do you mean by that? The war on terror is NOT OVER... GET A FUCKING CLUE, JACKASS!

From my perspective, drone attacks like this are sustainable indefinitely.

AQ keeps popping up. Lets keep dicing them into smaller pieces until the crazys gather around a banner that does not include the mass murder of civilians across the western world.


9/11 resonates today in certain circles for both its fundraising potential and its recruiting siren song. There are plenty of other radical islamist groups to join that want nothing to do with murdering Americans. The people who choose to join AQ these days know its history, and want to be part of it. They want to repeat it. They want to create an Islamic Emirate that units the Islamic world by burning the western world to the ground.


21 years later, the solution remains the same. Kill them all.

It has not been long enough for the anger to fade. We pulled out of Afghanistan, defeated by lack of focus more then anything. Even though we are finally at "peace" after 21 years of war, it is a bitter "peace" that is difficult to accept.

I know young people who have only known war. They do not remember what it was like prior to 2001. They have never known the illusion of peace, and when I ask them about it they are 100% ok with the endless war. They did not even dream of peace as an ideal. It is inspirational.

I remember peace. I foolishly thought the world was a cup cake prior to 2001. Those days were pleasant ignorance. An illusion. A passing delusion before the fundamental truth of human existence struck home:
Only the dead have seen the end of war.

We were never at peace. We just tricked ourselves into believing the lie while others hunted us.

Attacking the west is an Al Qaida recruiting tactic, not the goal. The goal is Saud-Wahhabi hegemony over the Sunni Muslim world and the extermination of the Shia. As long as the House of Saud is allowed to continue its missionary work, the crazies are going to keep coming. The U.S. slaughters the foot soldiers while sleeping with the king.

I think that is over simplifying things.

Al Qaeda and the House of Saud do not get along:
www.washingtoninstitute.org

Bin Laden Increases His Challenge to the House of Saud

The implications
www.washingtoninstitute.org www.washingtoninstitute.org

Which is not to say your not right. The House of Saud did embrace Wahhabism, it just turned around and bit them.

The House of Saud is stuck in a vicious spot, keeping the lid on a jar full of radicals that want to murder them, radicals they created.


The truth is the House of Saud made the same arrogant mistake others have made. They created crazies thinking they could control them, but said crazies were never controllable.


Tossing the King out of the bed sounds all well and good, but when he drops the jar it is going to shatter freeing up all the vipers. We need to come up with a solution for the jar before we toss the evil king out of the bed.
