Chris Benoit Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The American public seem to forget that Bin Laden and the United States were best buddies back in the 80s. Think it's more likely they are unaware to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drylaw Hearts Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Er, where did I say that? The US say that this guy they've bumped off is Bin Laden. Have you seen the evidence that it is him? Have you see evidence that he's been dead for years ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 As cynical as I can be, especially when the US State Department are concerned, I genuinely don't doubt this. If the US hasn't killed him then it would make no sense for them to say that they had. The fallout from saying such a thing were it not true would be immense.

People who are asking why no pics of the dead Bin Laden etc should realise that if the US were seen to be parading the dead Bin Laden, it would almost certainly make the desire for retaliation against the US in some areas even more pronounced.

Why would his colleagues not seek to discredit the Americans and prove the fact that he has been dead for ages, shouldn't be too hard for them to prove if that's true-they would have the opportunity to make the yanks a laughing stock worldwide an effectively bringing the obama administraton to it knees...

shaun.lawson Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The conspiracy theories on this thread - most of which are from people with the intelligence to know better - are absolutely risible. Good for Obama, good for the West, good - in the long run, at least - for Afghanistan. I don't think it's good at all for Pakistan, though: the government there are already trapped in a nightmare, trying to keep the West and Islamic factions happy; and the latter will be furious. And while in the longer term, this represents a huge blow for the ideology of al-Qaeda, for which bin Laden was a figurehead, in the shorter term, it makes things much more unstable. There will be reprisals of some sort, I have no doubt about that. Incidentally, here's one semi-conspiracy theory of mine. I always felt it suited Bush and the neo-cons for Osama to remain alive and on the run: for decades, the US has needed some kind of bogeyman figure, be they Stalin, Saddam or Osama, and just as the American right actually need abortion to remain legal, enabling it to gather around this totem and blame it on the 'liberal elite' at election after election, so bin Laden's continued survival meant Bush could always call for his nation to unite against the continuing 'threat'. But it never suited Obama. Obama needed him dead for his own political reasons as much as anything else - and now he is. Good. Though as the responses of many have proved, the US is damned if it does, damned if it doesn't - and people clearly wouldn't believe the American President even if he said two plus two equals four.
