Oh, and in case you guys missed it, I take full responsibility for the JFK assassination, Gandhi’s assassination and MLK’s. (I will make sure people who point out that I am too young to have presided over those, assassinated. Heh)
Al Qaeda claims credit for US blackoutThe operation “was carried out on the orders of Osama bin Laden to hit the pillars of the US economy” and as “realization of bin Laden’s promise to offer the Iraqi people a present”, the statement, which the Al-Hayat newspaper obtained from the Web site of the International Islamic Media Centre, said. “Let the criminal Bush and his gang know that the punishment is the result of the action, the soldiers of God cut the power on these cities, they darkened the lives of the Americans as these criminals blackened the lives of the Muslim people in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. The Americans lived a black day they will never forget. They lived a day of terror and fear… a state of chaos and confusion where looting and pillaging rampaged the cities, just like the capital of the caliphate Baghdad and Afghanistan and Palestine were. Let the American people take a sip from the same glass,” Al Hayat quotes the statement as saying.Of course, the funniest claim in the release is this -

Let the American people take a sip from the same glass,” Al Hayat quotes the statement as saying.Ummm…Mr. Bin Laden, I am really sorry, sir, but there haven’t been many cases of looting and pillaging during the blackout…Please, don’t be mad! See, it so happens that we are not the Middle East. Yes, sir - I know those infidel dogs cannot be better than you, but you know those damn Americans and New Yorkers! They managed to keep their calm during 9/11, now they manage to do so in a freaking blackout. They file out and help each other as humanely and courageously when they are dying by the dozens as when they are merely inconvenienced by the loss of power. Why can’t they be like regular Arabs and loot a few things or burn a few flags? Ughhh!
Mr. Bin Laden, seriously, you don’t want to mess with these people - they might seem like really pampered brats to your eyes, but take out your ideological blinders and look - here is a country that is not afraid of you anymore. When a white rapper can make joke videos about you (Eminem’s “Without Me”), I hope you can understand it is not that easy to intimidate these people. I mean, think about it - they cut off the head of Taliban by invading Afghanistan and installing a friendly regime, what do you do? Oh, you cut off their power! For a whole day! Big, bad, scary man! (NOT). Again…Heh! :D

On bin laden, i loved the part when osama surrenders after being “hunted down” by rap fans — osama dont rap good obviously!

Oh, I love Eminem. But you Shanti are an infidel dog and will die by exhaustion from reading too many press releases by the Soldiers of God!

Hoo Hah!
These alleged ‘people’ have been taking barking lessons from the Norks. NorKoreans have, for years, spewed a virulent, stilted and highly disconnected-from-reality BLATHER when put into yet another tight spot by REALITY.
Hoo! Haah!:mad:

I read that article too. It looks like al-Qaeda’s taking their cue from cartoon villains.

Sharpshooter and Peter, if I didn’t see the story on a news portal, I would have thought it was written by “Scrappleface” :)

Ahha, now I know whom to blame for the power-cuts in Pune and Lucknow. :shocked:

It is the “All-Qaeda, all the time folks”, Gaurav - they are also responsible for every time I sneezed yesterday :)

To a dyslexic, “Soldiers of God” is “Soldiers of Dog.”
Think of it.

Norks?
That’s hilarious. Does that make Kim Jong Il (aka Dear Leader) the head Nork?
Yeah, pretty impressive the way NYers and others handled the blackout.

Great !! BTW there was massive looting around the twin towers after 9/11. You have a selective ear for news

yeah and we take cowards who won’t sign their name oh-so-seriously! buzz off, dude!

Read this http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/29/nyregion/29WTC.html?hp and weep, you anonymous ass-hole, before you go around making stupid assertions about people you know next to nothing about. Remember that the people in the article were ordinary human beings - who did extraordinary things. Oh, btw - can you provide us with links for the “massive looting” you said happened? All I saw from the pictures of that day were people calmly leading each other away from danger and filing away orderly out of NYC.
