US grab al-Qaeda hard drive info
The Sun ^ | May 3 2011 | staff reporter

Posted on 05/03/2011 8:14:19 AM PDT by Daffynition

AMERICAN authorities hope to blow al-Qaeda's terror network wide open after retrieving hard drives from Osama Bin Laden's compound in Sunday's deadly raid.

Along with Bin Laden's body, electronics and hard drives were seized by US forces following the fire-fight.

Analysts at the CIA's Virginia headquarters described the find as a "volume" of materials.

They hope the equipment will offer up new clues to the inner workings and main players of Bin Laden's global terror network.

Those are details that we don’t need to know about unless it’s being done delibertly to try and flush out Al Qaeda operatives and agents worldwide.

Unless 0'Zero reverses himself on enhanced interrogation techniques, America has seen better days of intel gathering. Just relying on hard drives and soft intel is not enough.

Have the couriers meet the same team who interrogated KSM. That proved priceless.

I hope plans are already underway to hunt down and kill every bearded, goat-f#cking bastard identified in the network. Cowardly scum, one and all.

“AMERICAN authorities hope to blow al-Qaeda’s terror network wide open after retrieving hard drives from Osama Bin Laden’s compound in Sunday’s deadly raid.”

#####

Unless they are playing “I know that you know, that I know” intelligence games, this information going public, is not in the least beneficial to American interests.

Sure it gives the shrieking queers in the CrisisMedia something to chatter about incessantly, but it does not serve the purpose of enabling our military to continue the destruction of Islamic scum.

Just think - in a couple of weeks we'll know more about Osama than we know about 0bama.
Oops - we already do.

One thing weighs upon me-that Gitmo was instrumental in helping our troops find that miserable freak.

And with all and I mean ALL of the horrific press that was handed to President Bush and his team thru the years as he fought to keep us safe, having to quietly and daily suffer an onslaught from the big networks (ever wonder why gas prices are not the headline everyday like they were under President Bush? Makes ya SICK!)- if that creep in our WH with his I-me-myself-and-I speech about the killing of Osama DOES NOT INVITE PRESIDENT BUSH TO STAND BESIDE HIM AT GROUND ZERO ON THURSDAY AND SPEAK TO THIS NATION-I will forever see Mr. I,ME, MYSELF and I as the single most narcissistic, mean, cowardly and inept president in my lifetime.

When a man cannot give credit where credit is do, he is the weakest of the weak.

Uh, no... “We join our fellow citizens in welcoming the announcement that Osama bin Laden has been eliminated as a threat to our nation and the world through the actions of American military personnel. As we have stated repeatedly since the 9/11 terror attacks, bin Laden never represented Muslims or Islam. In fact, in addition to the killing of thousands of Americans, he and Al Qaeda caused the deaths of countless Muslims worldwide. We also reiterate President Obama’s clear statement tonight that the United States is not at war with Islam.” http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cair-welcomes-elimination-of-osama-bin-laden-121069664.html

The ISI/Pakistani connection will be the most telling. But we’ll probably never know.

Could be, too, that many sleeper cells awakened and are on the run to find safer ground. [Check the borders for a sudden outward flow persons.]

I wonder too what they found and recovered. The information that is potentially there is probably more important than just killing the scumbag.
