Aasif Mandvi reacts to the news that far from toughing things out in a cave in the AfPak tribal frontier, Osama bin Laden was in fact living inside a gated mansion in a posh Pakistani suburb:
As Mandvi pointed out, not only was bin Laden living in a suburb instead of a war zone, he was holed up about two miles from
one of the best golf courses in Pakistan: the
Abbottabad Golf Club.
So what was the West's most mortal enemy doing holed up inside his mansion near the golf course? Well, among other things, he was chugging a lot of Coke and Pepsi. Seriously. Think about that: the guy who hoped to destroy Western civilization lived in a suburban mansion near a golf course and drank both Coke and Pepsi products while urging his followers to blow themselves to smithereens.
No word yet on what was on his iPod.
