Call it my natural cynicism...
... but for some reason when the Teleprompter Jesus declared that the world was now a safer place since Osama Bin Laden had been shot and conveniently fed to the fishes, I wasn't entirely convinced.
Nor, it seems, was anyone else after every country in the world raised its threat level to "Shit your pants and keep a close eye on brown people".
I can't help but feel like Obamalamadingdong has done exactly the wrong thing here and given the sick, ageing terrorist, who was becoming marginalised all over again, a brand new centre-stage martyrdom.
This kind of summary "justice" just doesn't leave me even remotely reassured. I don't, for one moment, believe that Osama Bin Laden did not deserve to die. He absolutely did, but he was not tried or found guilty. Crime is filled with people who have claimed responsibility for the crimes of others, and Osama never really did get round to being proven guilty for anything he was blamed for or took responsibility for.
The whole story stinks, and I'm not the only one who thinks so.
He was shot on the orders of a supposedly "liberal" president who may just need an amazing turn of events to boost his flagging popularity. The same fucktard who then immediately turned around and lied about how much safer this murder has made the world, while cranking up the security a few notches for the rest of us.
When Obama came to power, I noted how much he reminded me of Tony Blair, smooth and unprincipled and a master of presentation but fuck-all else. It didn't occur to me that he was just as viciously amoral as that murderous cunt Blair ever was.
It never occurred to me that he would actually go as far as "killing" Bin Laden just to bolster his poll ratings.

Blogroll update
It's waaay outside the normal zone of people I recommend, but I've added the lovely Katobell's blog to my roll. Feel free to dip in and out of it. It's lovely.
Mea culpa! #OBL
Hands up, I got my facts wrong.
I read this, which looks pretty conclusive and posted it all over twitter. But apparently, this is an old Photoshopped image which has been doing the rounds for years, so it's just the US media using an image without verification, rather than proof that Osama is not actually dead.
So I guess we're going to have to wait for the official Photoshop, I mean, er, photograph.
