Well done, gents!

In June, a man claiming to be Osmani — his face was concealed by a black turban — gave an interview to a Pakistani television network in which he said Omar and bin Laden were alive and well. He claimed to be receiving instructions from Omar.

Merry Christmas bitch.

FWIW BZ is Navy slang for "job well done" or "s**t hot". Don't feel bad, I had to have it explained to me by a former Ambassador. Peregrino

"Identifying remains was difficult, Collins said, because of the damage inflicted by the airstrike. "The vehicle was completely destroyed, there was nothing to recognize," he said"
Good deal. Hope he's licking a hot frying pan in Hell right now.

Good job.
