I do not agree with the celebrations over the death of another human being, but then at the same time "live by the sword, die by the sword". ObL was the holder of his own fate, he knew the consequences of his actions yet pursued them anyway. There is no fate but what we make.
Exactly. They're trying to promote the wars Bush started and Obama continued in the climate of mass unpopularity. They want to bring back the climate of 2002 when America was excited to intervene in innocent nations and rape and pillage places they can't locate on an unmarked map. I take it you've already heard the press continuously parrot that Al-Quida is going to retaliate and therefore we need more security and more police state and more everything. This is exactly what they want. The CIA is proffiting plenty off the Opium they're growing in Afghanistan. Not to mention the oil they're after all across those broken nations. Folks, don't kid yourself. Osama has been dead since 2002 at the latest.
According to Wikileaks, Americans had listed Pakistani intelligence service as 'Terrorist'... Seems interesting to me, and justified being the obvious location of Bin Laden, so close to installations of the Pakistani military. A non military, Private residence...with 12 foot walls, barbed wire, couriers constantly going in and out of the place...oh yeah I'll be they never even noticed it. And in response to the previous post, what is your evidence to support that he's been dead since 2002? Does it over ride the DNA evidence and the pictures once they release them?
someone has said it better then i was trying to think of how to. i also thought of saying "body or it didn't happen".
No they have NO MINDS OF THIER OWN,they listen to the crap spewed the the govt AND DONT QUESTION IT @ ALL..... Quite sickening!! Seeing everything about Obama IS A LIE and Osama USED TO WORK WITH THE CIA RIGHT UP UNTIL 9/11!! (Bush flew his family to safety on 9/11) Were supposed to believe the most wanted man in the world (by all nations not just the US) was in 'hiding' 200 meters away from a military base and no one thought to notice? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/02/bin-laden-compound-abbottabad-google-maps_n_856225.html I think this is just an attempt by Obama to make himself look better AMIST HIS MISERABLE/Failing TERM!! Heres proof of fake death! http://griffinwatch-nwn.blogspot.com/2011/05/bin-laden-death-photo-fake-we-think-so.html Blair and Bush were on the radio,with some highly useful statements as always: Blair: “The operation shows those who commit acts of terror against the innocent will be brought to justice, however long it takes. So this is a huge achievement in the fight against terrorism but we know the fight against the terrorism and the ideology that bin Laden represents, continues and is as urgent as ever.” Bush: "The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done,". OK .. ten years of bombing Afghanistan is now completely justified due to the completely unverified and unverifiable death of bin Laden in Pakistan. I also just heard an 'expert' speculating on the radio wheather this would lead "al-Qaeda" to launch a massive retaliation attack. Always nice to hear the news on a Bank Holiday... Its all part of the plan to make it look like they are doing things when in fact WE KNOW WHO IS! Its interesting that WHATREALLYHAPPEND.com started having major DDOS attacks right before Obama went on TV! http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/osama_dead.php The site tells how Osama was killed in 2001...
Maybe that kind of compound might stick out like a sore thumb in the USA or UK...but in northern Pakistan ? Not the most stable of places to live, so I'm guessing this type of residence is not unusual for the area, and the distinction between military and private might be rather more blurred...at least, if you can afford it. On BBC radio this evening, the reporter from the scene said that locals just supposed the compound housed a politician or high ranking ex-military. The apparant lack of curiosity might imply such things are commonplace there. Not everywhere is the same as America. BBC radio also discussed the idea that ObL had been dead since 2002 - and the body kept on ice until such a time as it was politically useful to produce it. Main problem there, as was pointed out, was that presumably Bush also knew about it... so why didn't he use it for political capital ? .
I can't even say how much I relate to this. My own family members are rejoicing. I keep asking them how on earth this makes us any better than them.
Great post. And yes, every president has a war. This is simply Obama's way of keeping the world at war. We are never not at war anymore. There will never be an end. Always war, always innocent people killed, always people killing each other for a cause they don't even really know, all in the name of greed and power. All wars are the same, it's only the government's lies, reasons and profits that change.
I find it disturbing how his death was celebrated . We are no better than the people who celebrated the death s of 911. Another Myrta/bogyman will be found to replace him and the saga of hate and paranoia will continue.
I noticed before Obama even gave his press conference and the media was speculating on events that they started throwing out all the bullshit, pro-war nationalistic rhetoric. Obvious rhetoric..how most of America fails to see that, I have no idea. i keep asking myself the same thing. From what I understand the orders were specifically to kill him and not bring him back alive, but why? It seems to me like the White House might know what it takes to make a martyr by now. Maybe they wanted to make a martyr out of him. This is irrelevant, but I also started thinking about the person that actually killed him. I don't even kill bugs so I have no idea what it takes to murder another human being, but I keep thinking that if I were the person behind the trigger I wouldn't be able to do it. I would just want to stare. It would be like seeing an extremely rare but dangerous animal in the wild.
Because this whole event was likely just a publicity stunt to once again gather public support for war and rally those at home to remind them of who the enemy is. This begs the question; what must be just over the horizon? Yes it would be. It would be strange to look through one's scope at such a man. Alienating.
I read that bin Laden denied any involvement in 9/11. I would have like to seen a "fair trial", as America says that it believes in.
Maybe the US should remember that what it is doing right now with the "rebels" in Libya is similar to what the US was doing in Afghanistan with Bin-Laden and his "rebels" fighting Soviet occupation. The US gave Bin-Laden lots of support and money. The US made him into what he is and helped establish Al-Qaeda. Ain't blowbacks a bitch?
