I don't have the time, my friend, or the interest.
Be honest and accept you like making things up, because you must. Don't give me the "watch the news crap".

Is it just me, or do you find the timing of the Fox News report of Bin Ladin's death in December, immediately after the reports of his real death in the last few days, to sort of stretch credibility all the thinner? I don't think the current made up version by Fox we've heard is even the tip of the iceberg. There's still a lot of nutty conspiracy theorists out there who need a really implausible story to lap up and hold on to.
Giving Obama credit? HA! Give us a break. He died of a embolism while racing camels on a dare!

I think this Fox News report need to be investigated & evaluated against the real version until we get the truth about how it's an utterly huge bag of bulls**t. . Their version reeks with inconsistency and conflicting information.

Until we're satisfied that Fox News has the real version, I'm sticking with the Seals.

[quote=LuckyGem;19031025]Today we know that Pakistan was in the pocket of Bin Laden, he had everyone in the government INCLUDING Musharraf, paid off for his protection.
quote]

Wouldn't you say this is a conspiracy theory as well?

Perhaps OBL simply decided to hide in plain sight and was successful in doing so. Or perhaps he got helped from some corrupt individuals in Pakistan in the military or govt...it wasn't necessarily a pakistani policy to protect him. Or maybe it was.

At this point, nobody knows. But I'm willing to bet when all is said and done that the true story will be too boring for conspiracy lovers.

9/11 wasn't spectacular enough for them...it had to be an inside job. The science behind the moon landings weren't impressive enough...it had to be a photo op to fool people. Electing a black president in a nation that had slavery wasn't special enough...he has to be a kenyan muslim usurper. And now after catching the most wanted man for over a decade it still doesn't suffice...

Those hard drives found at the compound have a lot of information.

No doubt there's some sensitive information contained.

There may be information that implicates Pakistan's government in a conspiracy.

Time will tell.

They waited a decade for his capture/death, but they want every detail now now now now!

He couldn't possibly have died in 2001. I saw him at an Elvis concert just last summer.

I'll take their word over obama's.

As far as "journalistic standards", where have ours gone?

FOXNews.com - Report: Bin Laden Already Dead - U.S. & World
This was the speculation around December 26th, 2001 the date of this article.
Obama, I mean Osama did film himself talking about modern things after that time, so we do know he was alive going into 2002 for sure.

Two phone numbers and 500 Euros sewn into the clothing he was wearing. You can bet your bippy they're linking those numbers and will look further yet so be prepared for all sorts of new info to come out along with new conspiracy theories as well.

I predict that by the time all of this comes to full boil we'll be more than fed up listening to 'he said, she said' crud.
