Al Qaeda confirms Bin Laden's death, threatens US
2011-05-06
Al-Qaeda has confirmed the death of Osama bin Laden and threatened to carry out a retaliatory attack against the U.S "soon".
"We shall have Dire Revenge™!"
Bin Laden's blood "is too valuable to us and to every Muslim to let it go in vain," said a statement dated May 3 and attributed to al-Qaeda. It was posted on websites that have carried confirmed jihadi statements in the past.

"We will continue to hunt the Americans and their operatives inside and outside their country. Soon we will turn their joy into sadness, and mix their tears with their blood," the group said.

#4  Show an opening and time a response when they come into the gap. There are only three principles in combat: Force, Motion, and Timing. Tactics is Force in Motion. Strategy is Force in Time.

Drop your guard at a tactical point, let them in, close the gap so they cant get back out. Its a matter of timing. Its a set up. There are high and low tactical gaps. In a riposte in fencing you turn aside and leave an opening for his riposte after you make your own. He will take it, sometimes he cant stop his motion from habit of training. Its reflex.

Drop your guard and draw him in. Riposte low. Do it again. Now drop your guard by going to high defense and leave your low defense open.
Its all in timing and his own reflexes. He will attack by reflex.. Move into your own opening as he does. You set up a pattern to betray his own reflexes.
Sucker punch him when he steps into it.
Cut deep.

#2  What? The U.S. and al Qaeda agree that bin Laden is dead? Then he MUST be alive.

/sarcasm off//

At least that's what the Truthers will tell us.
