If bin Laden was really still alive, how long would it be until he released a video of himself holding a newspaper with his death announced on the front page. Come on now, how dumb do you need to be?
I've always assumed he died awhile ago. If you look at the tapes that he released claiming to be alive, they were all rather poor quality despite those guys being pretty tech savy. Even really cheap phones, which they used often to make IEDs, made decent quality video. And most of his taped comments were pretty vague and could easily have been pieced together from existing tapes. I could be wrong, but I don't think he ever made a tape holding up a recent paper proving he was alive.
And if you recall, the left wing conspiracy at the time was that Bush had captured him already and was holding him to gather information through torture. Remember the alleged October surprise? Bush was going to present him to the public right before the election in order to get re-elected. Those claims showed up all over the place.
The other left wing conspiracy at the time was that Osama was dead but Bush was hiding that fact in order to put more big brother measures in place. The people who howled about Bush's big brother tactics now try to justify Obama's equally frightening big brother tactics. So called progressives in the States have turned into lemmings, always looking the other way no matter what Obama does. For example, since Obama took office, there has not been one major anti-war protest, despite Obama killing 1,000s of innocent civilians, including ****ren. Not to mention that more of our soldiers have died in Afghanistan in the two years of Obama than did during the 8 years of Bush! In all likelyhood, Obama has killed more innocent civilians than Osama did.
And I think GS is right about the timing of the assault. It's no coincidence that he launched this strike right after killing 3 of Kadafi's grand****ren in an illegal assassination attempt of a world leader. Notice how the media doesn't report the names or ages of the grand****ren? The son that was killed was in his late 20s according to one report, so that means these grand****ren really were ****ren. As in little ****. So why is the media covering this up? Where is the outrage that would exist if a President McCain had done this?!? Remember, Bush was roundly criticized for going after Saddam. Now those voices have all gone quiet.
Plus, according to the latest news, Obama has once again been caught in another lie pertaining to Osama's death. He claimed there was a firefight but it turns out that all but one of those killed was unarmed. Just like in a video game, they pretty much went in and just silently killed everyone they could find. Seeing as how Osama was there, I really don't have a problem with it. It's the blatant lying Obama engages in that troubles me. Of course, one has to wonder what would have happened if this had been home to some rich Pakistani rather than Osama. It would have just been collateral damage, eh?
I can't help but think how proud the Nobel Peace Prize commission must be. After all, President Obama
is the first Nobel Peace Prize winner to ever try to assassinate another world leader!
