Al-Qaeda leader Bin Laden 'dead'. Again.

[David Butler]

Al-Qaeda founder and leader Osama Bin Laden is dead, according to US media reports citing officials.

The US is in possession of Bin Laden's body, the reports say. President Barack Obama is due to make a statement shortly.

Bin Laden is top of the US most wanted list.

He is accused of being behind a number of atrocities, including the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001.

The al-Qaeda leader was killed in a mansion outside Islamabad in an operation based on actionable US intelligence, CNN reported.

Ok...so he's supposedly dead...show me the body like they did with Che Guevara and I'll believe it.

I suppose we've all heard the news that Osama Bin Laden was killed several days ago in a mansion in Pakistan, and that the US has possession of his body. My questions are as follows: Why did it take so long to find him? Why now? And did they really "kill" him a few days ago, or has he been dead for years and DNA collected years ago to be used for political purposes?

Clearly a manufactured event to take the spotlight off of Obama COLB.

He has evaded the forces of the US and its allies for a decade, despite a $25m bounty on his head.


I wonder if we will see the happy smiling face of whoever won the $25m prize ? :-)

I suspect not....

Get Bin Laden was authorised last week it would seem -

Mr Obama said he had been briefed last August on a possible lead to Osama Bin Laden's whereabouts.

It led to intelligence that the al-Qaeda leader was hiding in a compound deep within Pakistan.

The president authorised an operation to "get Bin Laden" last week, he said, and on Sunday a small team of US forces undertook the operation.

After a "firefight" Bin Laden was killed and his body taken by US forces, the president said.

Obama just took official "credit" for ordering the US to murder "Bin Laden".

The Church Lady commented "Well, isn't that special."

The War on Terror is over. The war on nuclear power plants, tornados, and fault lines is only beginning.

One of the most blatant acts of bullshit in our nation's history! A man who could so directly and baldly lie in announcing the death of a man who died on or about 15 December 2001 could also directly and baldly lie about his birth certificate! They are announcing that Osama was taken out by Obama. Now the wars can continue, the predator drones can keep killing, and no one will care about where Barack was born!

Official: Osama bin Laden is dead

While unclear if this really is OBL, yes why take so long to kill an old friend and useful bogeyman? Also, from what I heard they captured him alive and killed him - why not arrest him and try him for all the various things they claimed - sort of made me think like LHO been shut up.....as the truth would be all too damning. Why do I think there will be no definitive proof it was him.

I find it very sad to see all the Americans celebrating thinking that the person who 'pulled off' 911 et al. was killed.....it is my firm belief that the masterminds of 911 are alive and well - many in the beltway or connected to it.

Coming just a day after a second attempt on Gadaffi makes one wonder who is trying to clear the chess board....or has Gadaffi been anointed to take OBL's role as bogeyman in chief.

The location of the supposed mission in the mansion is just a few Km from where Pakistani Intelligence officers and Military Officers are trained. Interesting, as whoever it was, he/they were long living there. To get into this town, one has to go through many military checkpoints, searches, etc. Almost all in that town are military, intelligence and a few who work for them. The equivalent would be finding the most wanted American hiding in Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, CA. If a real deal, he had the OK of someone very high in Pakistani Military and/or Intelligence - both of which are supposed to be coordinated with American Military and Intelligence. There is much more to this story [however it plays out] than first meets the eye.

Real event or phony one, this will create more revenge than I think the US is prepared for.

Everyone in MSM and MS-World taking for granted Obama's claims that OBL was responsible for 911, when FBI wanted poster and attending details do NOT list him for that......something is very rotten...but we long knew that. Another patsy dead or said to be dead. Even Al Jazeera, usually more cautious, is taking this hook, line and sinker.
