Why is Fox news now calling Osama bin Laden "USAma" bin Laden?

I noticed them doing it yesterday on their scroll at the page bottom and they were at it again today. Strange, bemusing, ironic. Guess they collectively went off their meds.

I added the all caps "USA" for clarity, but I see "USA" every time they post OBL's new name.

    Let's see, FGR!, you have been missing from Y!A for some months, and right after the OBL covert operation, you're back. What can I conclude from this? But as for FOX, we all know that they're now trying to outdo Obama in patriotism, with more flag waving and putting up "USA" at every opportunity, no matter how ridiculous it looks, as with this example, "USAma bin Laden". So, our Navy SEALs Team Six shot up USAma? I don't even know what to make of that.

    But nice to see you again, FGR!

    Lol, ironic that the name should also sync-in such a manner!

    The USA finished off mission Obama so all have gone crazyyy and trying to celebrate in a weird manner by showing the world the USA cleaned off Osama's rag bag. So they are expressing happiness for target completion in the media style to attract each and everyone attention like how you got hooked to the Tag line name.

    Yes it's been a while since you asked any questions and it's good to see you here asking questions welcome FGR :)

    Name spellings do not translate all that well from Arabic to English. I have seen both spellings Osama and Usama, since he became newsworthy.

    Have you ever seen the spellings used for Kaddafy / Qaddafi / Qhadhaffy / Khaddafi ?

    Yes, that's a clever observation on your part. But even further, look at this:

    uSAMa = Uncle Sam, eh?

    Mere coincidence????

    Say, how are Your meds, BTW?

    EDIT:

    Like many others here, I, too, am glad to see you popping up on my "My Activity" page once again!

    I wish they would leave it alone!! Its bad enough that we've already made enemies and don't want my kids to be threatened or harmed for their stupidity!!! This isn't grade school hallway fights, this is full blown out wars, where they don't care who you are, your kids, or how much money you have. This is my kids future that they are playing with because I'll be long gone by then and I don't want to think that my kids are going to have to pay for their power trip!!!

    because Usama was his given name

    it helps to actually check some facts before criticizing someone else

    After you get outta first grade, maybe you'll figure out complicated things like furrin names ain't spelled consistently by other furriners.
