Thread: And Now, The Story....

Osama Bin Laden is dead. The story has an ending (sort of). Hollywood, no doubt, will seize on the opportunity and make some movies. I fear one of them will be a really bad TV movie about an obsessed govt. worker, his wife killed in a plane, toils night and day to develop the intel for the kill.

The big budget production will start with the aftermath of 9/11. While the mourning is going on, the intel effort gears up. Soldiers are seen in Iraq and Afghanistan douing their thing. The plot hole is how the courier is found out. The tracking of the courier, the briefing of the SEAL team, and of course, the assault itself.

What do you think ?

^ sounds about right. Maybe add in the five year old hired to write the dialogue and a dozen of so gasoline explosions.

No doubt there have been dozens of screenplays written to that effect long before bin Laden was actually killed. All they have to do now is fill in the details of the film's climax.

Yeah, one of those gasoline explosions will be after Osama jumps in a maserati during the assault. Along with a Persian supermodel, he'll drive at breakneck speed, until, while car jumps a canyon, it is taken out with a sniper hit from an American soldier with good looks, who grew up in Detroit, picked on by the sons of convenience store owners.

I am pretty sure it will also include a nuclear missile and a couple of hundred soldiers called 'the black guard'

And where were you the night (or day) of the attack? And why didn't you tell us that Bin Laden lived down the street from from you?

Well actually he did.

You know I was surprised by two things here. Firstly how slow this conversation is and secondly I live in abbotabad so I expected at least one pm asking me what happened (glad I didn't get any though) . Check where he was captured, I heard the helicopters but I just thought It was regular army stuff and the explosions a helicopter crash.

PM never crossed my mind, I thought you'd come out with the big scoop. Here's the question, what was the story surrounding his residence, the towering walls, barbed wire and all?

I'm also surprised by how slow the conversation is.

Well actually, the news channels are making a big deal out of this. Almost every house here has big huge walls and barbed wire since the army lives here. Abbotabad is basically an army town NO ONE in their right minds would have imagined Osama living here cause there are more than 6000 soldiers stationed here. Not including the ones under training, it basicalls means that people look all over the horizon but forget to look at their feet.

I have looked at the house before, it looks like any other house nothing stands out except that they have a balcony wall. But a person just thinks that they might be a strict islamic family that require the women to hide themselves. One more thing that i noticed the news keeps saying that Abbotabad is in the suburbs of Islamabad. It is at least 80 km away from Islamabad. Not to mention the mountains that surround Abbotabad (part of the reason why the army is stationed here) make it a 2 and a half hour trip.

hope this answers some of the questions but I am still skeptical as to if this really was Osama but thats another story.

^ I was actually wondering why you haven't been the one to crack the news. Was about to ask you about it, but a PM felt too intrusive for me.

Yes, that was clever of Osama to reside in the least likely place. The media here, as you already know, assumes that it would have been impossible for him to live there without someone knowing, citizens maybe, but your government? What is the Pakistan military saying about their role in all of this?

Well the official stance is of course they had no idea that Osama was there but don't believe a word of it. If the ISI dosen't know about what happens in Pakistan then hell you need god to know the rest. My personal theory is actually based on the assumptions that are quite sensible.

You see the ISI trusts the taliban about this much. *holds up a spoon of sugar*

The ISI trusts the americans this much. *eats the sugar on the spoon and then throws the spoon away*

You see after the invasion of Iraq (non-existant wepons of mass destruction) their trust hit rock bottom. Our army is mostly on the border with India, we can't keep soldiers on the Afghani front as well. So we have the taliban, the different tribes with guns that act as a personal army that we don't have to pay for. If America attacks (like I said no trust) we need their help to hold them back and without the ties with the taliban its not possible. So rationally speking its a matter of trusting ones allies!

P.S Fuhrer, I thought that it would sound a tad big headed of me if I started posting around that I am in the same town.

Custard, tell the truth, you ever smoke some marijuana with Osama Bin Laden, I mean... just sitting around kicking the "P" with him and his "Old Ladies"? I bet he had some "fire ***" weed, kind of stuff that would make you want to get 72 virgins. You probably knew where that n**** was the whole time; just didn't want to dry up your free marijuana supply. Custard likes to have "sessions"


("P" would be inner-city slang casual person to person conversation, and "Old Ladies" is more a slang term I've adopted from blue collar White-Americans into Chevy's and motorcycles and stuff like that, and "session" is a Black-American slang term for two or more persons getting together to smoke marijuana)

Haha... everything lines up in movie melodrama.

Custard - I was thinking the other day "isn't someone on this forum from Pakistan, and from a town that starts with A? Nah, can't be."
And yeah, the media loves to stir up non-issues. It's not that surprising that the locals had no idea. Osama wouldn't, after all, just go to local venues and on casual strolls to socialize with the neighbors. And most people just mind their own business, it's their nature.

Writ - thanks for the translations. I don't have my inner city slang dictionary on me at the moment.

Hark, look who's talking......
