Be Very Afraid!!!!!!!!! OBL's death will trigger MASSIVE terrahist retaliation!!!!

[99th_Monkey]

An emerging deadly refrain,

threatening to become a viral meme,

that I keep hearing over and over,

Is there any way to nip this in the bud?

[TygrBright]

1. Not likely. The boogeyman is dead. Long live the new boogeyman.

Can't have politics in America without the boogeyman.

wearily,
Bright

2. We've got it here too

Fear's not just for Fox news anymore.

5. I even heard it on freaking AL JASEERA

which got my attention.

3. Why haven't they done it already?

Because they no longer have the capability to carry out any large-scale operations because we've been chasing them out from wherever they hide...even Pakistan.

I'm sure there will be suicide bombers trying to kill people, but that has been happening sporadically for some time now.

7. Good Question.

My point was/is that this FEAR MONGERING meme is getting LOTS of airtime on MSM, (problem)

and to ask if there is anything we can do to shut this down, redirect it. (solution)

it was NOT to engage with you in a debate about why AQ hasn't hit US again yet.

sorry if that's a disappointment for you. :shrug:

8. I'm sorry you mis-interpreted my post.

This is just one possible response to someone that asks the very same question, or to post on a media message board.

Not directed to you, personally.

14. Cool

thank you so much for having me take a second look at your post.

yes .. I'm much clearer on your meaning, and I totally agree with it.

Interesting huh?

4. I think if al queda still has any capacity to attack us, they will retaliate

they almost have to. This is a turning point. To quote Joe Biden, it's a bug fucking deal. They have to respond if they can. Their own doctrine would dictate that they wait a while however. They don't attack when or where you're looking for it.

9. Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful response.

I feel closer to the truth because of you, thanks.

But excuse me if I can't shake the 1984 reference ...

"We've always be at war with EastAsia"

As in, "we're always going to be in a perpetual war on terrah"

Sorry if I can't get too excited about pissing away our
national resources this way.

19. The only one 'bug' fucked is OBL.

Works for me!

Sometimes, typos rule.

[Vinee]

22. bug fucked. lol. Too much celebration.

[Incitatus]

6. Fear terror terror murder bombs MDK MDK MDK!

Don't change the channel or you will die!

Every backpack or box left unattended will be investigated by the bomb squad and the news will be there to cover it while mentioning Al Qaeda the whole time.

[Kablooie]

10. You are right. But it will come from the GOP.

[99th_Monkey]

15. To some extent, yes.

But I guess my point is that this is all in flux as we speak/type ...

I'm only trying to absorb and appreciate what's unfolding here, moment to moment.

if you're not watching Al Jazeera BTW, you are missing out right now,

12. Why nip it in the bud? Ask whoevr says it what the alternative might be?

Leave him alive?

Not run the op at all?

It's a stupid point, and you should say so to anyone who brings it up.

[99th_Monkey]

16. I think you mis-understand my OP.

We can't "leave him alive" even if we wanted to.

OBL is already DEAD. Question is: now what?

FEAR!!! TERROR!!! BE AFRAID!!! <<<>>> OR <<>> Let's all move on now and sing kumbaya together in perfect harmony.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. psyops

Obvious for the people who actually pay attention.

The same psyops that the US media engaged in when they unnecessarily showed the twin towers crumbling again and again and again and again and again.

[Amonester]

17. "Define MASSIVE"

I bet they could not define MASSIVE no more than they cannot define WINNING.

[krabigirl]

20. Yes, the killing of people like him just radicalized others,

[WCGreen]

21. So the answer to this is we should have just let him be....

Seriously, they will say anything and everything to tarnish president Obama.

[Capitalocracy]

23. That's easy. Would you say that if Bush got him?

Oh, that's right, he didn't. So I guess we'll never know.
