NEFA Foundation sources: Fat traitor is indeed dead

I’m away from the site tomorrow and wanted to end the week on a good note. Early rumors said dead; follow-up rumors said dead; late-breaking rumors said dead; Al Qaeda sources said alive; and now late late-breaking rumors say … still dead. From the NEFA report:

Twelve militants were killed in a single missile attack on a residential compound in Khushali Wazir in the Mirali tehsil during the night of January 28. A loud explosion rocked the area at 11:22 p.m. According to well-informed NEFA sources in Pakistan, among those reportedly killed in the attack were senior al-Qa’ida commander Abu Laith al-Libi, his former deputy Abu Suhail, Hamza al-Somali (of Australian or US nationality), and Azzam al-Amriki (an a.k.a. of American al-Qa’ida member Adam Gadahn) [Gadahn’s death has yet to be officially confirmed]. Abu Ubayda Tawari Rakhis al-Mutairi and “Abu Adil”, both from Kuwait, were also reported killed in the attack—along with at least at least three Uzbek nationals. On January 30, the bodies of the 12 foreigners were retrieved and buried in a local graveyard. A large number of local militants had surrounded the site and cordoned it off.

Same exit question as in every other post about this: Why hasn’t AQ gone public about it yet? Even if there wasn’t enough left of him to scrape together a positive ID, he’ll have been missing over a month now. Surely someone put two and two together.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead

lorien1973 on March 6, 2008 at 10:42 PM

Rot in hell, you traitorous bastard.

ReubenJCogburn on March 6, 2008 at 10:43 PM

I believe it when I see it.

Those Muslim terrorists can be resurected by the hand of 72 Virgins.

So you never know.

Indy Conservative on March 6, 2008 at 10:43 PM

I guess we’ll know for sure if we go another 40 years without a lip-smacking lecture video.

flipflop on March 6, 2008 at 10:45 PM

Sure they “love death”, but lately they’ve been loving it so much and so frequently that maybe it’s lost of some of the excitement and novelty?.

Kasper Hauser on March 6, 2008 at 10:46 PM

Somewhere there are 73 virgins without a clue what to do.

29Victor on March 6, 2008 at 10:47 PM

glad the fat freak is dead

by the way

let’s celebrate with a nice Hot Super Busty Japanese Fugitive video

As long as it’s not a puppy…. Hell Yea!

Hog Wild on March 6, 2008 at 10:49 PM

If he is dead I’ll say a prayer for the man who pushed the button. May he have a long and happy life.

If he is alive I’ll say a prayer for the next man to push the button. May he have a steady aim.

Limerick on March 6, 2008 at 10:50 PM

To the theme of Wizard of OZ,”The Witch is dead”.
However he once was an American citizen,I will
tread lightly,the traitor is dead,but is he dead
dead,or really dead,but certified dead would be
better!

canopfor on March 6, 2008 at 10:50 PM

Don’t let the missle hit you in the ass on the way out. Good riddance.

tommuck on March 6, 2008 at 10:51 PM

his former deputy

Are they trying to be funny? I did laugh.

A large number of local militants had surrounded the site and cordoned it off.

When the target simply stands up and begs to be hit, shouldn’t we be obliging?

TexasDan on March 6, 2008 at 10:53 PM

AP, if this doesn’t merit the humping robots, I don’t know what does.

VolMagic on March 6, 2008 at 10:54 PM

29Victor on March 6, 2008 at 10:47 PM

Ha! Somewhere there’s a big fat traitor without a clue what to do!

Tzetzes on March 6, 2008 at 10:56 PM

If Al Queda is afraid to confirm the death of a mid level pr representative, what does that say about their organization? I think it either means that Al Queda isn’t even together enough to confirm the death of a public figure from their ranks, or they feel it would be too damaging to do so. Either way, that seems to be to be a sign of their weakness.

BryanS on March 6, 2008 at 10:57 PM

I’m away from the site tomorrow and wanted to end the week on a good note.

You’re away from the site? I thought you were chained to your computer! What are we supposed to do for our daily pessimism?!

*Hyperventilating*

AP if you are away please leave Ed the hammer. There still be critters about.

Limerick on March 6, 2008 at 10:59 PM

Rot in hell, you traitorous bastard.

What he said.

I don’t wish hell on many people, but those sorts I most definitely DO.

Bob's Kid on March 6, 2008 at 11:00 PM

Guess he really didn’t need his passport after all.

on the Japanese since I seen the 18 inch
gun’s on the Yamato!Hehe

canopfor on March 6, 2008 at 11:04 PM

Same exit question as in every other post about this: Why hasn’t AQ gone public about it yet?

Maybe they just dont consider him to be worthy of commenting on. He was just a useful idiot to them.

chasdal on March 6, 2008 at 11:05 PM

As long as it’s not a puppy…. Hell Yea!

Hog Wild on March 6, 2008 at 10:49 PM

But what if he was holding a puppy?

I hope that bastard rots forever.

SouthernGent on March 6, 2008 at 11:05 PM

May all 72 of his virgins look like Helen Thomas, and may this play in a loop for all eternity

Sekhmet on March 6, 2008 at 11:06 PM

I guess he had blue eyes. One blew this way and one blew that way.

sheriff246 on March 6, 2008 at 11:07 PM

When I saw the headline, I thought, “Oh man, Michael Moore is dead???”

Lehuster on March 6, 2008 at 11:09 PM

Let’s not forget AQ had an American on their side,
so to AQ they had a trophy,that trophy is now smashed!

AQ,probably thought the US wouldn’t target him,surprise!

canopfor on March 6, 2008 at 11:10 PM

So, does he get twice the virgins for weighing twice as much?

Grayson on March 6, 2008 at 11:12 PM

Do you suppose he even knows what to do with those 72 virgins?

AbaddonsReign on March 6, 2008 at 11:12 PM

:)

gstrickler on March 6, 2008 at 11:13 PM

Too bad it wasn’t a bullet pocked wall.

Catfish on March 6, 2008 at 11:13 PM

So what’s the deal?

We keep on finding and killing others and can’t find Obama or Zawahri?

What’s going on?

Come on, give some conspiracy theories. Or do we really need any?

A Needle in a haystack?

That’s bull.

How much money are we spending on the Intelligence Community?

Billions and billions of Dollars.

What did we get in return?

D I S A S T E R S !!

From the 90’s to this new Century.

Maybe we should dismantle the Intelligence Community and find new jobs for its members.

They are a joke.

Give them their own show.

I think they’ll be funnier than David Letterman.

Too bad so sad.

Indy Conservative on March 6, 2008 at 11:14 PM

And to think, he didn’t even have a son to say Kaddish for him. Oy gevald.

smellthecoffee on March 6, 2008 at 11:14 PM

Do you suppose he even knows what to do with those 72 virgins?

M m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m

I know.

Indy Conservative on March 6, 2008 at 11:16 PM

Why hasn’t AQ gone public about it yet?

I donno!! Why does a dog chase it’s tail?
Could it be the American connection? He was a wannabe AQ, yes?
He never really was anything more but a mouth piece for AQ, yes?
Like Cindy Sheehan, once the tools use is done, throw it away.
An infidel does as infidel is, yes? Virgins need not apply.

Kini on March 6, 2008 at 11:16 PM

Oh, BTW; Have a nice day off Allah!!

Kini on March 6, 2008 at 11:17 PM

AbaddonsReign on March 6, 2008 at 11:12 PM

Dude, I already said that.

Tzetzes on March 6, 2008 at 11:17 PM

Too bad. He was getting ready to take an editorial position with the New York Times.

THE CHOSEN ONE on March 6, 2008 at 11:18 PM

Why hasn’t AQ gone public about it yet? Even if there wasn’t enough left of him to scrape together a positive ID, he’ll have been missing over a month now. Surely someone put two and two together.

Why acknowledge a US success? Why let all the AQ leadership around the world known they aren’t safe anywhere? Why let us know we don’t have to look for him anymore because we got him? It’s always wise to play things close to the vest.

TheBigOldDog on March 6, 2008 at 11:20 PM

Score one (big fat one) for our side!

imshocked on March 6, 2008 at 11:20 PM

A large number of local militants had surrounded the site and cordoned it off.

Why is it we never follow these things up with a couple of Rockeye Cluster bombs?

Kinda like those parades and funerals these jokers like to have. Every time I see tape of one of those things I just automatically think ‘Napalm’.

trigon on March 6, 2008 at 11:20 PM

Why hasn’t AQ gone public about it yet?

Because it’s a huge defeat for them. Only his family, and a few leftie crazies, at best, will miss this blob.

Somewhere there are 73 virgins without a clue what to do.

29Victor on March 6, 2008 at 10:47 PM

No way. See 5th cartoon, down.

Entelechy on March 6, 2008 at 11:21 PM

Indy Conservative on March 6, 2008 at 11:14 PM

For all we know they are dead too. When’s the last time we’ve seen or heard from them in something we can actually date?

TheBigOldDog on March 6, 2008 at 11:23 PM

I’ll be kicking back with my dogs, eating ham, looking at drawings of Mohammed, listening to music, and drinking rum in his “honor” this weekend. Anything else Islamists find offensive that I can roll into that equation?

Blacklake on March 6, 2008 at 11:23 PM

if this is true, many democRATs will be crying and gnashing of teeth.

custer on March 6, 2008 at 11:27 PM

It will be such cheery news if we can get confirmation on this.

Security Mom on March 6, 2008 at 11:29 PM

Dude, I already said that.

Tzetzes on March 6, 2008 at 11:17 PM

Dude, I said it first. That’s why there were 73 virgins in my post.

Subtle humor is wasted on the masses.

29Victor on March 6, 2008 at 11:39 PM

Yes please lets get confirmation on this…my hopes have been raised so many times. How hard can it be to get into this cordoned (sp?) area, swipe some parts and test the dna???

HawaiiLwyr on March 6, 2008 at 11:41 PM

Good riddance. Let’s hope we can nail ‘The Sheik’ and the most of all, the Evil Dr Z.

lexhamfox on March 6, 2008 at 11:41 PM

29 Victor. I got it. very funny

HawaiiLwyr on March 6, 2008 at 11:42 PM

HALLELUJAH!!!!!

Defector01 on March 6, 2008 at 11:46 PM

Let’s hope the missiles were lathered in bacon fat!

Payback’s a b*tch ain’t t!

As for his virgins…..he’ll have 72 alright, but they’ll all be gay male orangutans with bad breath, mange and a touch of the clap. It’ll be like looking in a mirror…

Bubba Redneck on March 6, 2008 at 11:49 PM

He’s not dead. I saw him in a roadside cafe in Des Moines having breakfast with Elvis.

Vote Ron Paul. UFO’s are real. Islam is the religion of peace.

Wino on March 6, 2008 at 11:52 PM

The 72 virgins may not be thrilled, but I’m fairly certain there are a handful of goats who are heavily relieved.

yo on March 6, 2008 at 11:54 PM

And Adam was confused when he found himself surrounded by 71 virgins facing a young smiling Palestinian boy

D’oh! Touché. I thought it was a mistake.

Tzetzes on March 7, 2008 at 12:08 AM

No way,see the fifth cartoon down.

Entelechy on March 6,2008 at 11:21PM.

Entelechy: Thats a good one,He he,but I’m at a loss,
were do these “Virgins” come from.
Is there a Virgin factory that running
4 or 5 shifts a day,overtime hand over fist
to keep up with the demand!
or,
Is it as simply as the “Irish Spring soap
commercials” were they wait around the Irish
springs and they then load them on the Virgin
Transports to said virgin markets !

Some many ideas,so little time.Haha.

canopfor on March 7, 2008 at 12:09 AM

I dunno. I say its sad to die a virgin.

What the Hell is he going to do with 72 of them? Play Scrabble?

It’s a waste of resources. That’s all I’m sayin’.

Professor Blather on March 7, 2008 at 12:09 AM

Redeemed yourself elegantly, because Tzetzes will never be “the masses”. He’s way too intelligent for that.

Add Janet Reno to the picture doing the “nasty” and I truly hope that bastard is having the time of his after life….

Seven Percent Solution on March 7, 2008 at 12:39 AM

That’s when another missile should have been fired …

TheBigOldDog on March 6, 2008 at 11:23 PM

For all we know??

Who are “we?” Don’t include me.

Not hearing or seeing somebody for a while doesn’t mean anything.

It doesn’t mean that the Intelligence Community had a success.

And my criticism is directed to those idiots in D.C., who are wasting our money on their huge salaries and the end results are failures.

Indy Conservative on March 7, 2008 at 1:07 AM

“(then I would have turned away and smiled wryly to myself…

Vntnrse on March 7, 2008 at 1:06 AM”

My point in the black, (as in hitting the target) Vntnrse…. we had a chance to vaporize the elite AQ at funeral in 2006, but some lawyer, not a General, said,

“…we can’t do that, they might not like us!”

How many US and Coalition soldiers have been killed since then?

Seven Percent Solution on March 7, 2008 at 1:13 AM

Militant Bibliophile on March 7, 2008 at 2:05 AM

Don’t get my hopes up - I can’t handle another false alarm! But, should it be true, hallelujah!

Side note, and I’ll continue to publish this until someone fixes it - Wikipedia says “inalienable rights” is a direct result of Islamic law! I kid you not - and the book they cite doesn’t even say that.

So, Achmed the American (or whatever they called him) was really just studying history, not committing treason. He was a constitutional scholar.

Oh, what Orwell would write about our times.

Over30 on March 7, 2008 at 2:27 AM

I am hoping that he DID NOT go receive his 72 years old gay male virgin. I would miss him. He is actually quite entertaining. Maybe he’ll show up with a missing eye or something. Even better, showing up at the next video with an eye patch, no arms and a wired shut jaw.

Big Daddy Cool on March 7, 2008 at 3:34 AM

Why hasn’t AQ gone public about it yet?

What benefit is it to AQ to go public with it? Yes, another glorious martyr but maybe even they realized that Gadahn was not having the effect on Americans that they wanted. So, maybe they decided he was worth more “alive” than martyred for propaganda purposes. Or, maybe AQ has sustained so many loses they are no longer sure what their policy is or should be.

Blake on March 7, 2008 at 3:37 AM

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodnight. Scumbag.

No tears shed here. He was an insignificant, traitorous j*ck*ss. The rest of the world is glad to be rid of him.

mojojojo on March 7, 2008 at 4:07 AM

I’m not sure what being fat has to do with it. Shall we say, regarding Rush Limbaugh, that “The fat patriot is still alive?” Anyway, there’s no good reason to think al-Amriki is defunct. His dead stinking body would pretty much smell the same as his living stinking body.

NNtrancer on March 7, 2008 at 4:57 AM

Same exit question as in every other post about this: Why hasn’t AQ gone public about it yet? Even if there wasn’t enough left of him to scrape together a positive ID, he’ll have been missing over a month now. Surely someone put two and two together.

same “exit question” for ME is…. WHY wont Katie Couric “and her cronies” report this with a smile on her face (or just report it for God’s sake).
