Instead of just looking for an honest man I'm looking for someone who's honestly not an idiot.

Good luck with that quest. You'll stumble upon both the Holy Grail and Jimmy Hoffa's corpse first.

2011-05-04T09:58:37.064-06:00

The official story on OBL's "death" has already changed. Now they say he was unarmed and there was no firefight. And other continuing inconsistencies with the official diktats. Everything else down the memory hole! Last night I had the nauseatingly unfortunate opportunity to watch Hannity and Rumsfeld perform mutual mental masturbatory gymnastics. Rummy was particularly eager, and happy, to say that water boarding resulted in "useable intel" to find the corpse of Bin Laden. In essence this wrinkled swine was saying that the ends justify any means, even torture, in glorifying the Empire. You, citizen/slave, had best wake up to that. Hannity, who for some reason to me looks like an angry Nathan Lane, kept his poker face while Rummy gleefully went on and on. Elsewhere the States official propaganda organs, i.e. the MSM, kept up their full spectrum assault of lies.

They found Jimmy Hoffa's body! It was discovered next to Amelia Earhart's remains! Glory be!

Wasn't it Benazir Bhutto who, in 2007, casually mentioned to David Frost in a BBC TV interview that Osama Bin Ladin was killed by Omar Sheikh's insurgent forces?

And wasn't it Larry Mitchell, CIA Section Chief in the Middle East, and another CIA agent who met up with OBL at the American Hospital in Dubai on July 14, 2001 while OBL was receiving kidney dialysis treatment from his doctor, Dr. Terry Callaway?

CIA chief Larry Mitchell had the opportunity and ability to take out OBL then, especially since he was already wanted, dead or alive, for the U.S.S. Cole, Tanzanian and Kenyan attacks. But maybe Larry had more pressing matters on his mind. Maybe he needed to go over a few more details with Osama concerning some grand scheme emanating from the dark halls of Langley for some yet unknown future project about to unfold.

I don't believe U.S. Special Forces killed Osama; he was already dead.

The supposed OBL hit is pure, unadulterated bovine excrement.

Now, how can any reasonable libertarian or individualist be convinced otherwise?

Why should anyone believe it?

And now I have to witness all this fucking flag-waving jingoism being shoved in my face.

Nuts!

Anon @ 7:15 -- I described bin Laden as someone "nurtured" by the CIA, which is how Chossudovsky summarized that relationship:

Pakistan's ISI was used as a "go-between". The CIA covert support to the "jihad" operated indirectly through the Pakistani ISI, --i.e. the CIA did not channel its support directly to the Mujahideen. In other words, for these covert operations to be "successful", Washington was careful not to reveal the ultimate objective of the "jihad", which consisted in destroying the Soviet Union.

In the words of CIA's Milton Beardman "We didn't train Arabs". Yet according to Abdel Monam Saidali, of the Al-aram Center for Strategic Studies in Cairo, bin Laden and the "Afghan Arabs" had been imparted "with very sophisticated types of training that was allowed to them by the CIA"[.]

Bin Laden, like other assets of his kind, was supported by the CIA by way of a cut-out (or cut-outs).

Eric Margolis maintains that bin Laden was not directly trained by the CIA (see his latest commentary on his website). And when I clicked your two links it wasn't clearly demonstrated otherwise.

If bin Laden didn't exist, the voracious War State would need to create him. Oh, wait...
Of course, it would have been no mean feat for the Langely Loonies _or_ ISS _or_ al Qaeda (or some combination of the above) to have long since created a most convincing bin Laden impersonator and installed him in a well-fortified Paki villa, as an all-purpose hedge against future developments. I also find it interesting that the few accounts of the incident that I have found in the Internet Echo Chamber that actually attempted to cite facts, quoted the Pentagon as saying that bin Laden's identity was confirmed by visual recognition. No mention of DNA analysis (not that DNA evidence itself can't be faked, but it might bring unwelcome closer scrutiny to the affair). Of course, citing reverence for Islamic burial traditions as a reason for dumping the corpse at sea nearly instantaneously should itself raise a few eyebrows among however many still utilize the matter behind them.

War is all about egos. A "There can only be one mentality".

Obama and Osama are portrayed as hero and villain respectively by history books and media. while dead soldiers are cast into eternal anonymity as the "Unknown Soldier". Civilians have it worse, being dehumanized as "collateral damage".

Trillions of dollars wasted, and hundreds of thousands of lives destroyed and maimed--for a celebration in DC and Ground zero in NYC by people over the death of one dead person who managed to sucker the most powerful country in the world to fight a self-immolating war.

Truly we live in the era of neo bread and circuses!

2011-05-02T09:02:53.696-06:00

This may sound silly but this whole debacle reminds me of a video game I played through recently wherein the main plot is a murder mystery.

The theme of the game is "reaching out to the truth," and there are several points in the story wherein the characters have the chance to take the "easy" way out by acting on emotion or the option that is the most convenient. This, of course, leads to a bad ending and the truth is lost.

This is the attitude that I'm seeing from the majority of Americans over the Bin Laden issue: All that matters is he's dead, and yet they refuse to even ask any of the prevailing questions that arise from all of this. Thus I can't see any of them getting the true/good ending in that game any time soon since it requires never taking the easy path and never stopping the search.

The experts at Wikipedia claim that "Karachi's Geo News had a few hours earlier described a helicopter crash and "heavy firing" on the evening of May 1 "near the PMA (Pakistan Military Academy) Kakul Road", " OBL was at or near the Pakistani Military academy probably for the last 10 years. A google maps tour indicates that he spent his last days in a college town with more than a few girls schools. Go Figure.
