Osama, eventually

A son of Osama bin Laden was reportedly killed a few months ago in a missile strike by the CIA in Pakistan.

This is unfortunate.

No, not that Saad bin Laden is no longer with us. The lad was a chip off the ol’ block — a member of al-Qaida who was working in the family business in Iran.

He journeyed into Pakistan, maybe for some R&R, when he got capped in a drone missile strike. Occupational hazard, I guess you’d call it.

No, my friends, the downside to this otherwise cheery bit of good news is that the bin Laden who bit the dust was not the old man.

... Oh, well, maybe next time.

I want to see the Wookie ess of a bee dragged out of a hidey-hole just like our lads did with Saddamned Hussein. I'm sensitive that way.
