Many believe that bin Laden could not have been killed in the raid because he actually died in 2001 of advanced kidney disease. It doesn't seem to occur to the conspiracy theorists that the earlier information that they believe is true (such as bin Laden's health problems) might have been disinformation, or simply wrong.

The problem with lying is that you need to keep lying to keep up the original lie. If bin Laden is not dead, then the photos of the bloody bedroom are faked; the intelligence reports are faked; the 79 American SEAL commandos are all part of the cover-up. Maybe the whole raid was staged, including the downed secret Blackhawk helicopters seen in photographs and videos. Bin Laden's daughter and his wife (who was shot in the leg) are both for unknown reasons lying about seeing him dead.

The DNA results are faked, and so are the death photos that Obama elected not to make public. And the trove of computer information about Al Qaeda that the commandos took isn't real either.

The interviews and articles and books in the coming months and years with those involved in the raid, from the President to the helicopter pilots, will all be carefully orchestrated lies. If it's all an elaborate hoax, it seems almost more work than getting Osama bin Laden.

There seems to be little header every two paragraphs or so. I cut theses.

in. :crazy:

Way too complex to be seriously considered plausible. And that's leaving out the most obvious question: Why would all of these people go to such extreme lengths to undertake conspiracies such as these?

First we had to begin hearing the rumors he was there. That took a bit over four years of the time. Last August, we began working the intelligence. Finally, we did it last Sunday for the sole purpose of interrupting the donalds show.

then I thought, were did we get that information from? Pakistan!

Then I thought, Hmmm, what horse does Pakistan have in this race? If they say he's dead, maybe they think the US will lay off. Thus decreasing the ethnic crazy religious hate element in their country. You the one, the one they can't control. So they say, "um, yeah, bin laden he died. Yup, taking the old dirt nap!"

Because, even conspiracy theorists know that Pakistan would never ever lie about anything!

Bottom line: bin laden is dead. Whether you believe he croaked in 2001 or now. Dead is dead and it's official now.

So let's move the fuck on.

of someone living hand-to-mouth in a mountainous region prone to earthquakes.

But it turns out that most of the original Al Qaeda leaders were caught living comfortably in the suburbs.

you would think that, if it weren't true, aQ would be parading him around and crowing about how weak (and a HUGE liar) the U.S. is?
