Yes, that's right. Actions speak louder than his empty words.

They don't. The Taliban are demanding to see proof.

Well, we haven't heard from those SEALS, have we? All we have is what this corrupt, lying administration is saying and even then, they can't even keep the story straight. Armed...not armed. Using women as shields...not using them.

He is making an utter mess out of what should have been a wonderful event.

Haha. My posts put me squarely in the mainstream of Americans.

Just go to Gallup - 44% conservative, 38% moderate and the rest? The FRINGE Left.

I believe this man is credible. He has impeccable references and still works with the Defense Dept. Not your average conspiracy theorist.

Pieczenik said that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001, “Not because special forces had killed him, but because as a physician I had known that the CIA physicians had treated him and it was on the intelligence roster that he had marfan syndrome,” adding that the US government knew Bin Laden was dead before they invaded Afghanistan.
Marfan syndrome is a degenerative genetic disease for which there is no permanent cure. The illness severely shortens the life span of the sufferer.
“He died of marfan syndrome, Bush junior knew about it, the intelligence community knew about it,” said Pieczenik, noting how CIA physicians had visited Bin Laden in July 2001 at the American Hospital in Dubai.
“He was already very sick from marfan syndrome and he was already dying, so nobody had to kill him,” added Pieczenik, stating that Bin Laden died shortly after 9/11 in his Tora Bora cave complex.

We've been lied to for a long time, even thru the Bush years. Truth is non-partisan.

Can't you get this straight by now? All we have is what the obama admin is saying. That might be good enough for you, but it's not for most people.

Would you have believed Bush in the same circumstances?

Don't answer. We already know the answer is a resounding, NO.

I read in the newspaper today that there was no internet connection and no cell phones at the compound, for security purposes. Huh? But we are taking hard drives out of there with intel on them. Who is right?

Do you believe Bin Laden has been at that compound forever?

All I know is what I've read and heard; we've known his whereabouts since August 2010, but reports say he's been there for 6 years.

What do you believe?

I noticed that too. But, of course, computers can be used just to create and store documents, play games on, write letters, etc., etc. So I guess if there was any intel it would have to get to/from Bin Laden by courier or mail. It still has an aura of hinkiness- as if AGAIN the story just wasn't well thought out.

All is moot though since OBL/Tim Ossman has been dead for years and this killing DID NOT HAPPEN.

His body guards had satellite phones. He also relied on couriers and whose to say they didn't run hard drives back and forth.

Bin Laden bodyguard's satellite phone calls helped lead US forces to hiding place - CSMonitor.com

His compound lacked any telephone or Internet connection, according to local sources, but he did have at least one satellite phone. Further backing their story, a Reuters reporter visiting the scene reportedly saw a satellite dish in the compound.

Just who was president when the Abu Graib fiasco happened? Why G W Bush! (Sorry, I know I'm not supposed to mention his name on this forum.)
