On Being Bin Laden
It must have been a difficult job being bin Laden. First off, his family in Saudi Arabia had disowned him. He had numerous wives. For those of us in that predicament we know that one is like a handful. The kids! I shouldn't even bring up the kids. What'd he have, twenty-thirty?
At any rate, he was living about 100 yards from a military complex. That's called safety in numbers. What are the chances some of those guys were body guards. Maybe 10,000%!
He didn't have a telephone or, Allah forbid, cable access to the internet. If we took away the five times a day he banged his head on a prayer rug what did he do for yucks? I saw an educational film years ago about Bedouins in Saudi Arabia. They played a game of dice using dried up camel dung as the main component. Maybe that's what he did.
Now, think about this. Let's say he needed some quick cash. How'd he get it? Did he carry a wallet? Did he have a debit card from the Karachi Savings&Loan? Would he walk up to the automatic teller or give his pin number to a friend?
Surely he couldn't saunter down the street to the calls of "Osama, my man"!. At 6'4" he'd be a dead giveaway.
I'd like to know where he kept his cash; off shore accounts in the Caribbean, Switzerland, Monte Carlo: all of them? Better yet, who gets the millions now?
Did you know there was a $25 million dollar reward on the head of Osama(I almost wrote 'Obama'). It can't go to a Navy Seal. I hope that fraternity of heroes dummies up forever. That'd be one huge 'Jihadist Fatwah' on this group.
Anyway, fame has it's drawbacks. Even Obama mentioned how he'd like to be anonymous at times(yeah, right!). When push comes to shove, Osama bin Laden is better off now; seventy-two virgins and all that jazz. Oh, the rule for guys like Osama; these virgins are on an eternal menstrual cycle. Doesn't God have a great sense of humor?
