But according to the Ichaps the BBC talked to, chucking him into the sea before seeking out someone who is willing to give him a land based burial is not in-keeping with their faith. The military jumped the gun slightly, given the body was flown from Pakistan, to Afghan and then to the Arabian Sea, you're talking a good 8-10 hours travel time by helicopter, chuck in the fact the operation took about an hour, then refuel time and time to ID the body (by the way, a DNA test from a siblings DNA only proves a relative match, which means it could be a son, brother, father, cousin, etc. so isn't definitive proof), we're pretty much at the 12 hour point already. Which pretty much means they decided what they was doing with the body straight away.
Of course most Muslims wouldn't give a flying **** about his death, the reactions in the states would enrage a few, to quote Martin Luther King Jnr.
Good point well made. Too much of this story doesn't make sense. The fact they disposed of the body so quickly is one of those reasons. Apparently it was in keeping with Islamic belief, but for years western leaders have been telling us he is not representative of a Muslim, plus if a Muslim died in the west the coroner would sit on the body until the inquest is finished, which takes a about a week. So why, when the worlds most wanted is killed, do they expedite proceedings?
I'm calling BS on this story as there is no proof of it ever happening, just words, when Sadam was caught photos of him in a hole were all over the news before they finished loading him into the back of a Hummer. Yet in this case there hasn't been anything released showing his capture/dead body. Just an old photo from 2010 which the media has been tossing around.
Taliban/Al Qaeda is a blanket term used by the media for anyone who is fighting against us in the middle east. Here is a dirty little secret, there are many tribes that have been fighting each other for years. They will continue to fight with us gone. But the media will address them all as Taliban/Al Qaeda, most tribes hate both groups and hate being associated with them. But having a list of all of the tribes would be so long and confusing the public would just lose interest altogether because every area has its own tribes fighting to keep their own bit of land. So we'd hear a different name for damn near every dead solider.
The easiest way to spot the actual Taliban and/or Al Qaeda, as opposed to a native tribe killing us is the shoes. The former will wear trainers/tennis shoes/boots, native tribes will wear sandals or go barefoot.
Nah, most of the people we're fighting in Afghan do not care for the Jordanian who threw rocks at the sleeping bear, all OBL did to them was bring war to their country.
The daft thing is they have already disposed of his body at sea and are gave him an Islamic burial. We've (that is western leaders) been saying for years that Bin Laden is not a representative Muslim. So why treat his body in accordance with Islamic law?
What they have done is disappeared the only hard evidence (the photos circulating look like a poor photoshop) that he is dead which will turn him from a cult leader into a cult leader hero of legends. They didn't even get a death certificate, so I am thinking shenanigans, when Saddam was killed it was all over the news, that crushed his cult following, they take out the apparent mastermind behind many attacks and act fast to hide all evidence of his death. Why?
I'd never say it automatically brings in money, but hotels have massively benifitied, as have vendors of tourist tat. Those tacky flags don't make themselves either which means jobs were created (okay, the vast majority were in China).
You don't need to fill your fuel tank to spend money, vast amounts of people held parties, that required going out and buying booze, snacks, decorations, it all shovels money into the economy, money that wouldn't get spent if it wasn't for the wedding.
But try not to forget that due to the Civil List the massive amounts of money the royal portfolio makes gets given to the Gov't and in return they are given a fraction of its worth, in the old days when it was created the royal portfolio was hardly breaking even, so it actually cost us money, now they could easily say "**** y'all, we'll keep our cash" and due to Royal status they are tax exempt, it'd actually work out to be a loss to us.
Just like the Olympics it could easily just cost money, if the amount of people who didn't care about the royals was greater it would've been a less flamboyant affair, but as it is The Royals (especially those in line for the throne) are a massive tourist attraction.
It is costing us more in tax to support various nothing jobs, schemes and money loss adventures. It'd be nice to see that 20m added to the pot hole repair fund, because the roads round here look as though they've been ploughed, but I'd much rather see the 20m be taken out of a stupid project like the yacht the Hull council brought and runs with the idea that by letting youths who spend their time mugging old ladies have a play, some how they will stop mugging old ladies. So far it has had a 0% success rate, but rather than realising this and canning the project, there are talks of buying another yacht.
That is a waste of money because it puts nothing back into the pot.
I won't disagree with you, but lets be honest, a huge amount of women only dream about such a wedding. If they had the opportunity to have even half of that wedding they'd leap at it. The females who came into the shop to watch spent the whole time oooing and arrring over everything. The ages ranged from around 8 through to 80.
Although I only saw about 15 minutes of it (was on at work), and the cost was steep for a wedding but cheap for a royal wedding (~20million GBP, that includes the cost to hire the Police and all of the other shit that went on. It works out at ~32pence per person), it was a small investment for massive returns, in the form of tourists and tourist tat.
The wedding has raked in billions for the UK economy. Even up here in Yorkshire it meant that it was a good Friday in the shop (historically the worst day of the week), just because the main owner insisted on tarting up the windows and having a TV to draw in the crowds celebrating.
Did you see how much Harry was flirting with her? They are so going to be knocking boots tonight.
Any turbo will go given time and lack of maintenance. They are very sensitive to dirty oil, they are very sensitive to a lack of or incorrect oil. The bearings will wear out faster if you turn up the wick, so you have to remember that if you want to squeeze out more power. You can service a turbo and replace them, but to make it cost effective you have to do the work yourself, a garage would charge a small fortune so it is cheaper to drop on a whole new unit.
Could be worse. A house mate from uni started dating a lass and went back to her place for some tuna sandwiches, if you know what I mean. Unfortunately they didn't hear mum and dad come in who heard the commotion and came into her room to see what was going on. Apparently they didn't know their daughter was lesbian.
I tried so hard to not laugh when she was telling the story, but I couldn't help it.
That is why I had an Omega, cost less to buy and insure than a Corsa, I did look like my dad though. But I suppose that is better than looking like a poor builder.
That is why you should always replace the copper washer, a lot of cheap gits don't and allows oil to seep out. They only cost a couple of pence, so it isn't worth cheaping out on.
Remember to strip the rust back to bare metal, get a rust resistant primer (the red stuff), then put on your stone guard, otherwise all you'll do is find a hole appear one day because the rust continued to develop, just you couldn't see it.
I have known people file down part of the caliper to fit around small wheels, but only minimal amounts, guys do it a lot to fit ST170 calipers under 16" wheels.
