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

[Peter Lemkin]

Whatever the "raid" was, it appears that a Blackhawk helicopter modified with Stealth technology was used, and - highly embarrassingly for the US military - crashed or was shot down.

It could also be a large drone. Here's a scenario:

Drone sent to Akbar Khan "compound" shot down by nearby Pakistani military antiaircraft. US responds with SEAL or whatever team, assassinates the tenant and several of his sons, White House sticks to original story bin Laden was there, Pakistani forces arrive on scene as US team escapes, arrest unkilled residents. CIA loyalists in ISI take charge of custody and claim the detained family members are bin Ladens. US dumps body after realizing it can't be anybody of importance and to cover up multiple war crimes. White House staff cruise 4chan archives for dead bin Laden photoshops, then give them to senators and trusted press. 4channers chafe at the non-attribution while laughing at the coup, they and others cruise images.google.com and other graphic search engines and easily prove fakes are fake. White House changes story multiple times, denies releasing 4chan photoshops and then says no photos will be released. Then WH backtracks and releases video of Akbar Khan watching something on television plus a few shelved bin Laden videos produced for political effects in the past by CIA subcontractors but never used. With no evidence to support any of their claims, CIA and WH station chief Obama-Soetoro make the appeal to authority, "we wouldn't lie," and say anyone who disagrees is mentally ill.

Under this scenario the REAL corpse of bin Laden, deceased ca. 2001, remains on ice or was never recovered.

Jan, all others, IF [BIG IF!] the photos of the 'helicopter' rear stabilizer are real, it was definitely helicopter, not normal Preditor drone....several at Janes and other such have given interviews on the 'exciting new unknown stealth helicopter technology' - and I have no reason to question their genuine interest and insights. It appears [at this time, IMHO] to have been a secret stealth helicopter that for reasons unknown crashed, was unable to exit and so was destroyed. We saw the tail end - the rest was either destroyed or behind visual barriers by the Pakistanis. I'm not an expert on helicopters, but did listen to a man for 30 minutes who was speaking on this tail section. He said it was 'unknown', unregistered, shorter rotors than normal [reduced noise] and had a cowling covering the rotors [damping the sound] - all stealth technology. It seems the whole helicopter was also covered with some substances and had shapes that make it [them] less visible to radar...[the Pakistanis did NOT notice them on the radar, apparently!]. :mexican: Similar landing in your back yard soon!... :pinkelephant: It is certainly possible a stealth helicopter could be remote controlled, with no humans - so a drone of sorts....and all the rest of your scenario are as likely as the one their telling in D.C.,,,and which keeps changing!
