Back in October of 2001, Mike Moran, a firefighter whose brother, John Moran, was killed in the World Trade Center attacks, announced to the world at a benefit concert at Madison Square Garden that Osama bin Laden could kiss his "royal Irish ass." NBC NY followed up with him after Sunday's news that Osama bin Laden had been killed. He had received a text message.
"Can't kiss your roral [sic] Irish ass anymore," read the text.

Knowing that meant bin Laden was dead, Moran's answer was "Fantastic." Still a member of the FDNY today, he says he thinks about his brother daily and that John "would have shook his head and been a little embarrassed," about Moran's announcement at the Madison Square benefit: "Secretly he would have gotten a chuckle from it. He would have said it better."

The truth about bin laden dead is no more. The question NOW is other.

The picture is all wrong yet again.

There is no public information on the eradication of this demented faction... yes it's a faction of some sort of "doctrine" and "human culture".

Just like democratic and republicans in the US... talking globally(we live in a globalized world) Like communist in China... new-liberals en Russia, etc.

The question now is whom is going to lead this wako-jacko "human culture" faction?

obviously names are starting to emerge on the media.Some from the own "movement"... some from infiltrated players from russia, china, japan, india, usa, uk, etc etc.

The problem whit that is like it happen in the 1960's with charles the chakal and is gang(with heavy ties with arab "nations" and arab extremists) they raised yet again with bin landen.

And naturally if the demented wako-jacko "movement" is not distroid in 30 to 40 years yet again it will rise some wako like osama bin landen and like charles the chakal before him.
