OSAMA: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead…

George Bush declared Victory for America (again.)

Really? Are the troops coming home? Did we win? 

No to both, not only aren’t the troops coming home, but they are likely going to be in more danger, as will we all, at least in the immediate future. Al Qaeda will likely be looking to make a statement response.

Now, upon news of a twitter feed of his death, the same country that demanded to see Barrack Obama’s birth certificate, was dancing in the streets singing “Ding Dong the witch is dead..” as if their favorite sports team had just won the championship.

There is one major difference however between the witch in the Wizard of Oz being dead and Osama Bin Laden being dead.

In the Wizard of Oz, the witch’s death actually meant something. It meant the death to their oppressor and they could all live happily ever after.

Osama Bin Laden’s death means nothing. It means nothing to the war in Iraq, Libya or Afghanistan, it means nothing to the deficit in a Country that Osama Bin Laden helped Bankrupt, it means nothing to the 6000 American Soldiers that America has sent to the middle east and gotten killed as a response to the 3500 that Osama killed. It means nothing to the $3 trillion dollars America spent funding the war on terror as a response to the $20 billion Osama cost us on 9/11. I mean, let’s face it, killing Osama Bin Laden will do about as much damage to Islamic Fundamentalism as killing Jesus Christ did to Christianity.

One news source said it best as far as I am concerned –

“When future historians recount what happened to America in the first decade of the new millennium, they will point to the attacks Osama bin Laden mounted on 9-11 as a turning point in global history, and see in Washington’s response a partial explanation for the nation’s subsequent decline." --- Slate

Osama’s death accomplishes NOTHING.

In fact, this non-stop news coverage and self-congratulatory American government party reeks of propaganda that would rival that of Nazi Germany. They are celebrating the falling of a fictional antihero at this point.

America killing Osama Bin Laden is on par with Al Qaeda sneaking into the US and killing Jimmy Carter. While that would be a slap in the face, nothing would change.

And although America has achieved nothing in this single event, that’s not to say nothing has been accomplished in our war efforts in the Middle East, it’s just that there are far more respectable milestones in our Middle East efforts that Americans should be celebrating. Rather than lowering ourselves to a fundamentalist’s style effigy burning in the streets. Let’s keep it classy America, a great man once said (sic) –

 "Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." -Martin Luther King, Jr.

On a side note, they threw his body in the ocean. There is no body. The proof he is dead is now relegated to photos taken by our government and DNA evidence which proved to 99.9% odds he’s dead. To put that in perspective, those odds are the same as 1 in 1000. Those are not insurmountable odds, and in fact I have been “All in” after the flop on two poker hands I could remember where I had that same 1000 to 1 advantage and LOST. So lets not forget, there is a chance, an actual one, that this guy is not dead at all.

Let the conspiracy theories begin, for the rest of eternity.

A little humor, below is some propaganda style footage run by CNN for over 4 hours last night, to show us what a bad man Osama Bin Laden is.

I’m throwing it in for no reason other than I think it’s hysterically funny!!!
