Pakistan After Bin Laden

[Benny B]

Suroosh Alvi of VICE travels to Bin Laden's infamous compound to see what people really think about living next to America's most vilified fugitive. Unsurprisingly, their concern lies less with the proximity of Bin Laden than the chaos that his death has sparked. Although the controversy over whether or not Pakistan was harboring Bin Laden and the "trust deficit" is the primary focus for the American media, Pakistani news is busy covering the onslaught of violence that has broken out since the May 2nd raid. The people have seen a marked increase in American drone attacks, while the Taliban continues its retaliation with a relentless wave of suicide bombings. Anti-American sentiment has never run higher and this turbulent nation clearly has bigger issues than Bin Laden's death to contend with.

Are you making a case that we shouldn't have killed Bin Laden?

Are you asking me, "Nick"?  I didn't produce the video, just posted it for people who may find it of interest.  lol

I am not even sure how you came to that conclusion from watching that video anyway.

Implied agreement by not adding " check out this bs. " I am more pointing to the text... is making the point that Pakistan is worse off since his death. Hence my question. Which is directed to you... Are you making the argument ... That since Pakistan is worse off now... That we shouldn't have killed him. Simple question.

I did not write the text, nor am I here to answer your questions. Are you incapable of drawing your own conclusions, or simply fascinated by my intellect, opinion and observations?
The pics I posted should (to a person capable of even the slightest deductive reasoning ability) render your continued pestering moot.

Thanks, "Nick"!


Now FUCK OFF.

What I got from sifting through it was that Bin Laden wasnt even there in the first place. But any oppurtunity should be seized to chant U.S.A U.S.A!

Bin Laden died from kidney failure years ago. Obama just needed a momentum to get potential votes and started this whole hollywood drama of "WE GOT EM" and this obviously stupid edited dramaticzed photo. I wish I could find the higher res one where you could see how the photo was altered to look more dramaticized in both light and positioning of certain elements and people:



And wait a second. There is still perpetual war? Bush started two wars. Obama started how many now, we lost count? A million+ people killed? For one man supposedly?

And of course, Americans celebrated death. Where are the memorials for the million+ people the US has killed in the process and is still killing? The daily killings even now in Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen?

Who cares? Pakis don't like us, they don't like us in their country, and we should expect blowback when we spread sum democracy. That being said, either they lay down and capitulate, or we keep crushing their little joke of a country. They should've never left the empire.
