Also Smart

Gary Brooks Faulkner entered Pakistan last week to do what the CIA, Blackwater, the Pakistani armed forces, James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Dudley Do-Right were all unable to do: Kill the fuck out of Osama Bin Laden.

Faulkner, a construction worker from California, was detained by Pakistani officials on Sunday. Faulkner "told investigators he was on a solo mission to kill Osama bin Laden, a police officer said Tuesday." Authorities giggled at the notion until they searched him and found weapons.

He was reportedly carrying a pistol, a sword and a pair of night vision goggles. Everything that's needed to capture the world's most wanted man. Well, almost everything:
Faulkner was also carrying a book containing Christian verses and teachings.

When asked why he thought he had a chance of tracing bin Laden, Faulkner replied, "God is with me, and I am confident I will be successful in killing him."
Better luck next time, Faulkner!
