Osama Bin Laden Dead?

Jump to new
You say he claimed proof - how do you know? Do you speak arabic? Is that what the video said.

I like hearing information like these videos....not from the stoopid that comes from the US (especially Bush) government. At least there is evidence.





I'm not a Muslim lover either by the way, I hate everything they stand for....but the media are pretty good at making others feel the same way.

And do you know about tower 7 at the world trade centre? How did that come down when it wasn't hit by a plane? - Must have been an after shock.

It was sheer genius of Obama's focus group to hone in on the single event that touched the psyche of all Americans...9/11. His poor standing in the polls needed a lift. Taking out Osama Bin Laden, was perhaps the only trick that would win them back and they milked it for all it was worth.

He followed it up today with a visit to the 9/11 site, accompanied by suitable rhetoric and hugging. Tomorrow he will visit the Seals who did the dirty work.

All he has to do now is sustain the euphoria brought on by the inspired execution until the election, and bingo, another four years of nothing.

Maybe I am misinterpreting what you are saying, but you seem to be implying that Obama was in a position to kill OBL at any time in the recent past, but only chose to do so now because his popularity was at an all time low.

I doubt that very much. I suspect that this was the first and only opportunity up to now and he took a huge risk in doing what he did. He succeeded and kudos to him for doing so.

If he wins the next election it will not be because of this action, though it will help, but mainly due to the obstructionist and negative policies of the GOP and the group of moronic jokers that are planning to stand as GOP candidiates.
 
Saw today the OBLM had the gas connected in 2007 under a different name so one has to assume in those 4 yr some one must have done some checking up the place sticks out like a sore thumb.

In the word of Bill Clinton,"It"s the economy, stupid." As you say, he took a huge risk. He will have to pray now that al Qaeda does not take revenge. A big hit would destroy him.

Despite nabbing Osama, it’s the economy, stupid

The end of Osama bin Laden’s career of homicide does not ensure President Obama’s re-election. But it removes an obstacle. On foreign policy, Obama risked creating durable impressions of weakness. He seemed content, in the words of one adviser, to lead from behind ”” skeptical of American exceptionalism and accepting of America’s relative decline in global influence.

The Navy SEALs do not lead from behind. Their talent is to kill America’s enemies. It was a unilateral action, ordered by a president instead of a jury Americans may not vote based on foreign policy but they don’t like hapless presidents. The events of this week are an antidote to haplessness.

But after chanting “USA! USA!” Americans returned to homes with underwater mortgages, in cars requiring a mortgage for a fill up, in an economic recovery that feels more like a lingering flu, in a country that seems destined for a sovereign debt crisis. It is the Republican wager, and not a bad one, that these conditions remain the context for the 2012 presidential election.

He is dead ....... it is official.

WASHINGTON: The al Qaeda confirmed the death of its leader Osama Bin Laden on Friday and swore revenge for his killing by elite US commandos, the SITE monitoring group reported.

There is no shortage of murderous tyrants in the world, who are a danger to world stability. Obama took the populist way out by executing a semi-retired terrorist in a "friendly' country, claiming it would make the world a safer place. It had to be someone who all Americans love to hate.

It should be noted that there have been only isolated instances of terrorist acts in America and Europe for some years now. But that could easily change now that Obama has fanned the flames for purely political reasons.
 
Osama dead? Probably, but I doubt in the ever changing way we are told.

What I find more intriguing are the 'lost' voices in the last decade that were gagged or fired from their jobs for trying to tell the truth on the inner workings of the corrupt US administration with regards to how they handled the Mujahideen and bin laden. Sibel Edmonds comes to mind...fired for whistleblowing and gagged, i can only say that why isn't there a public inquiry into this or at the very least how about some MSM attention:

EDMONDS: Okay. So these conversations, between 1997 and 2001, had to do with a Central Asia operation that involved bin Laden. Not once did anybody use the word “al-Qaeda.” It was always “mujahideen,” always “bin Laden” and, in fact, not “bin Laden” but “bin Ladens” plural. There were several bin Ladens who were going on private jets to Azerbaijan and Tajikistan. The Turkish ambassador in Azerbaijan worked with them.

There were bin Ladens, with the help of Pakistanis or Saudis, under our management. Marc Grossman was leading it, 100 percent, bringing people from East Turkestan into Kyrgyzstan, from Kyrgyzstan to Azerbaijan, from Azerbaijan some of them were being channeled to Chechnya, some of them were being channeled to Bosnia. From Turkey, they were putting all these bin Ladens on NATO planes. People and weapons went one way, drugs came back.

GIRALDI: Was the U.S. government aware of this circular deal?

EDMONDS: 100 percent. A lot of the drugs were going to Belgium with NATO planes. After that, they went to the UK, and a lot came to the U.S. via military planes to distribution centers in Chicago and Paterson, New Jersey. Turkish diplomats who would never be searched were coming with suitcases of heroin.​

Edmonds was fired from her FBI translating job in 2002 after she accused a colleague of having illicit contact with Turkish officials. She has claimed that she was fired for being outspoken, and in 2005 her position was reportedly vindicated by the Office of Inspector General of the FBI, which concluded that she had been sacked for making valid complaints.​
....
If Edmonds' story is correct, and Al-Qaeda, with the aid of Turkish government agents and Pakistani intelligence, with the help of US government officials, has been attempting to obtain nuclear materials and nuclear information from the U.S., it casts an even darker shadow over the mysterious and still unexplained incident last August 30, when a B-52 Stratofortress, based at the Minot strategic air base in Minot, ND, against all rules and regulations of 40 years' standing, loaded and flew off with six unrecorded and unaccounted for nuclear-tipped cruise missiles.​
 
USA are just as ruthless as their enemy's and have the same moral values, we are pawn's in their game and will be until they can no longer afford to keep playing and forcing their ideas on every other country who can't see their way of thinking.

WMD's has to be one of the best examples of a true story were only the fact were changed, were a chook house in Iraq could be claimed to be a missile sight if they thought some one would swallow it,
Also there were numerous decent people with values who were outed and places under pressure to change their story, people who only wanted the truth to be told.
The female CIA agent is one who was exposed as an agent by her own government which is against government policy and is an offense.
Nearly every invade country will tell you they want USA NATO etc out of their country and will be happy and give us some peace.

As the debt mounts USA will be forced to withdraw from their 700 military bases around the world and thing may stabilized but these are all religious wars and will never stop until the world does.
 
The reason why Bin Laden was summarily executed and not brought back to face a court of justice is because they had no hard evidence that he was involved in the 9/11 attack.

What does our own FBI say? Here is a surprising but little-known fact, because it has scarcely been reported in the mainstream media: The FBI's "Most Wanted Terrorist" webpage on "Usama bin Laden" does not list the 9/11 attacks as one of the crimes for which he is wanted. It does list bombings in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi as terrorist acts for which he is wanted. But it makes no mention of 9/11. In 2006, Rex Tomb, then the FBI's chief of investigative publicity, was asked why not. He replied: "The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden's Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.

Since Obama took the credit for killing Bin Laden his popularity has jumped to 60%. The big question is, will he award himself the $50 million reward? It would be very helpful for his campaign funding.
 
A tweet from this week's QandA:
"Now that Osama is dead, does that mean the World's most wanted man is Justin Bieber?"
 
A STASH of pornography was among the items seized when US Navy SEALs raided the Pakistani hideout of Osama bin Laden, US officials say.
