Peru leader credits late pope for bin Laden death

LIMA, Peru — Peruvian President Alan Garcia says Pope John Paul II should get credit for the death of Osama bin Laden.

The late pope was beatified on Sunday and Garcia says: "His first miracle was to remove from the world the incarnation of evil, the demonic incarnation of crime and hatred, giving us the news that the person who blew up towers and buildings is no longer."

Garcia made the comment Monday as he inaugurated a hydroelectric power station.

Garcia also says bin Laden's death also vindicates President George W. Bush's decision "to punish Bin Laden and patiently continue this work that has born fruit."

3. Faith is a funny thing.
God couldn't have done it without the saint's assistance, or insistence, whichever the case may be.

I guess it hurts no one. Still ... :facepalm:

13. Clearly a case of cause and effect. That's why God
arranged for bad weather for Saturday night, and they had to postpone the operation until Sunday. Nice going Jebus!

15. It sounds to me as if he's been into the ol' Peruvian flake
Potent stuff, don't ya know. Excited delirium was reported to be not uncommon if one went overboard in the amount they were using.

16. This ain't no different than the fairy tale of 9/11...
...or the fairy tale of why the body of the "Wicked Witch of the West" was dumped in the ocean and not given to independent forensic experts to verify identify, cause of death and era of death...

I'm with President "two breakfasts" Garcia. His is as good an explanation as I've heard for this miraculous de-icing. Saint John Paul II, now in Heaven with God (which is what sainthood means--it's the Pope's guarantee that the named dead one is in Heaven--guarantee!--cuz only dead people who are absolutely for certain in Heaven can work miracles here on the Earth, and only the Pope can say anything for certain about God, Heaven, dead people...), is also responsible, in my opinion, for the slaughter of tens of thousands of babies, children, grandmas, granddads, and other innocents in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Muslim countries, in the hunt of OBL, in vengeance for the Battle of Guadalete in 711 A.D. (conquest of Spain) (--a number that is by no means coincidental). (711 = eternal fizzy.)

Really, people. Read Medieval philosophy if you want to understand any given 'news' story by our corpo-fascist press, especially official stories out of Washington. The stuff about "God the Father" being "consubstantial with "God the Son," with no intermediary uterus, is an excellent example of the type of eternal fizzy that every day rots the brains of billions of people in this "Year of Our Lord" '11, while the real perps laugh all the way to their banksters.
