Title: Bin Laden used wife as human shield: US official

Bin Laden used wife as human shield: US official (AFP) – 52 minutes ago

WASHINGTON — Al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden used one of his wives as a human shield in an apparent attempt to try to save his own life during a raid by US covert forces, a top US official said Monday.

"There was family at that compound, and there was a female who was, in fact, in the line of fire that reportedly was used as a shield to shield bin Laden from the incoming fire," counter-terrorism official John Brennan said.

Pressed on reports the woman shot dead by Navy SEALs during a firefight at a compound in Abbottabad in Pakistan was one of bin Laden's four wives, Brennan told a White House briefing: "That's my understanding."

Brennan said it was not entirely clear "whether or not bin Laden or the son or whatever put her there or she put herself there" or whether the Al-Qaeda chief himself fired rounds during the exchange.

"From a visual perspective, here is bin Laden who has been calling for attacks, living in this million dollar plus compound, living in an area that's far removed from the front, hiding behind women who were put in front of him as a shield," he said.

"I think it really just speaks to just how false his narrative has been over the years, and so again looking at what bin Laden was doing, hiding there while he's putting other people out there to carry out attacks, again, just speaks to, I think, the nature of the individual he was."

In addition to the woman, Bin Laden was killed by a bullet to the head and senior US officials said two brothers believed to be his couriers and one of his adult sons also perished in the raid.

The "Right" has been accusing anyone and everyone of this, their own pathology, going back to 2002.

Hey, dummy... Lenin was a socialist. Just like you, go56, skippy and ferret- face.

You feckless dweebs just can't accept reality, even when it b!tch-slaps you. Not too surprising, though... Socialists always ignore reality.

Thanks for the laughs.

Now piss off.

Actually, he was a Marxist. But I wouldn't expect a pig-nosed bubblehead like you to understand either that or the difference.

WOW... how long did it take you to think of such an insult? Ahhh, that rapier-like wit... that intellect!

Pssst: Did you have help on this?

Actually, he was a Marxist... to understand either that or the difference.

From http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm

V. I. Lenin: "The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self- Determination"
Written: Written January-February 1916
Published: Printed in April 1916 in the magazine Vorbote No. 2. Printed in Russian in October 1916 in Sbornik Sotsial-Demokrata, No. 1.
Source: Lenin Collected Works, UNKNOWN, [19xx], Moscow, Volume 22, pages 143- 156.

Or, from wikipedia (which even a mental midget like you can find):

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924), was a Russian revolutionary, author, lawyer, economic theorist, political philosopher, creator of the Soviet Communist Party, leader of the 1917 October Revolution, and founder of the USSR. As head of the Bolsheviks (1917–1924) he led the Red Army to victory in the Russian Civil War, before establishing the world's first officially socialist state.

As usual DwarF, you're an asshat.

But thank you... I so enjoy making you eat your words.

Thanks for the laughs.

Now piss off, boy.

ROFLMAO...what a fucking dope you are...you didn't even look at your link!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA....

As is usual among you uni-dimensional ***thinkers***, you make the classic blunder of applying the end to the means...Lenin was first and foremost a Marxist with the goal of establishing a Socialist republic.

Maybe you need to apply for a tuition refund for that one Poli Sci course you took, eh?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA...once again, Erica...you've swung mightily and landed on RIGHT ON YOUR OWN NOSE...

BWAHAHAHAHAHA...

Love,

He who laughs last, didn't get the joke.

You're not the brightest bulb in the tree, are you?

But then again, you're a liberal/socialist... which means you're intellectually lazy.

Erica...you've swung mightily and landed on RIGHT ON YOUR OWN NOSE...

As usual, your distorted perceptions of reality make you think that black is white, up is down, and your overt ignorance is intelligence.

Who took this photo of you?

Socialism is the end of a process, seamen breath. Lenin was a Marxist trying to achieve a Socialist state. There's a reason that the term "Marxist-Leninist" exists.

Whoever coined the term "gray matter" never saw the putrid green inside of your skull.

Another failed attempted witticism, from the biggest empty-headed socialist on the forum.

Your delusions of significance are amusing.

At least in this one regard, we agree.

You're so far behind the curve, you actually think you're in the lead.
