How They Got Osama

Osama Bin Laden DeadWhen US forces finally found Osama bin Laden, he had given up his time of roughing it in the mountain caves of Afghanistan, reverting back to the opulent life he was used to, hiding out in a million-dollar compound in an upscale suburb with his youngest wife.

He was identified as being in the three-storey building after the US had spent more than four years tracking one of bin Laden’s most trusted couriers, whom US officials said was identified by men captured after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

“Detainees also identified this man as one of the few Al Qaeda couriers trusted by bin Laden,” a senior administration official said in a briefing for reporters.

“They indicated he might be living with or protected by bin Laden.”
Bin Laden was finally found – more than nine-and-a-half years after the 2001 attacks on the United States – after authorities discovered in August 2010 that the courier lived with his brother and their families in an unusual and extremely high-security building, officials said.

“When we saw the compound where the brothers lived, we were shocked by what we saw: an extraordinarily unique compound.”

“The bottom line of our collection and our analysis was that we had high confidence that the compound harboured a high-value terrorist target.”

“The experts who worked this issue for years assessed that there was a strong probability that the terrorist who was hiding there was Osama bin Laden.”

The home, about eight times the size of nearby houses is in Abbottabad, a town about 60 kilometres north of Islamabad, that is relatively affluent and home to many retired members of Pakistan’s military.

The compound had massive security that included 3.6-metre to 5.5-metre outer walls topped with barbed wire and internal walls that sectioned off different parts of the compound.

They said two security gates restricted access, and residents burned their trash, rather than leaving it for collection as did their neighbours.

Few windows of the three-storey home faced the outside of the compound, and a terrace had a 2.1-metre privacy wall, officials said.

US forces raided the compound by helicopter and engaged in a 40 minute firefight that resulted in bin Laden and an adult son, one unidentified woman and two men – identified as the courier and his brother being killed.

Steven Tyler Snorted A Car And Plane

Steven Tyler Snorted DrugsSteven Tyler of Aerosmith fame has revealed how he blew a $20m on drugs, nearly going broke in the process.

In his autobiography to be released this week, he writes ‘I blew 20 million. I snorted my Porsche, I snorted my plane, I snorted my house in that din of drugs and booze and being lost’.

Tyler said drugs were such a big part of his life that he took them on stage while he was performing with Aerosmith, keeping them in a drum head that contained one Dixie cup with a straw and blow in it and the other with Coca-Cola and Jack Daniels in it.

Tyler, father of actress Liv Tyler, went into rehab several times and admits that he is lucky to be alive considering his drug and alcohol abuse.

It wasn’t until his eighth stint in rehab that he finally realised that he might have a problem. Apparently the seven previous times in rehab didn’t mean much to him.

Thank God he confined himself to drugs and didn’t have an eating problem, because with a mouth as big as his, he could have really eaten a car and plane.

Obama Pwned Trump

Obama Pwned Trump

Obama Pwned Trump

Obama Pwned Trump on Saturday night at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where Trump, who was in the audience  as a guest of The Washington Post.

Taking his chance at a get square for The Don’s muck raking about his birth certificate and background, The Anointed One let fire with a few choice comments.

Obama commented that Trump must be relieved to put the birther issue to rest, so he can focus on important questions, like "Where are Biggie and Tupac?" and "Was the moon landing faked?"

Obama highlighted an episode of "Celebrity Apprentice" as an example of Trump's very presidential leadership ability, citing his firing of Gary Busey two weeks ago as "the kind of decision that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir!"

Trump, for his worth handled it well, smiling tightly throughout.

It all came off as a low shot, perhaps too much so. Maybe The Don is the bad guy Obama needs to look a little more respectable!

Things were not good for The Don from the start, with a group of several media outlet sheeple booing him on arrival.

On the red Carpet, Trump was asked if he would speak with Obama during the dinner, if given the chance, Donald said he planned on giving the president a piece of his mind, adding, “He’s gotta get tough with all the nations that are ripping off the U.S.”

Vin Diesel Break Dancing Before He Was A Star

This has to be filed under things he wishes he never did.

Just the memory that he did this would be bad enough for him, but the fact that there is video of it and that anyone can see it would have to bring him many sleepless nights.

Kinda doesn’t really fit the macho image he likes to portray. Mind you, a couple of other things Vin is in to doesn’t do that image a lot of good either….
