Forbes ^ | May. 3 2011 | Kenneth Rapoza

It was known already that the death of Osama bin Laden would be the biggest news item in the world whenever it happened. It happened on May 1. On May 2, here’s what the opinion pages of the biggest and most influential emerging markets had to say about it.

In Russia’s Moscow Times, a Foreign Ministry spokesman was quoted as saying that Vladimir Putin was informed of the raid and subsequent death of Osama bin Laden before President Barack Obama went public at 23:35 eastern standard time.

“The Kremlin welcomes the serious success achieved by the United States in the fight against international terrorism,” the Kremlin said in...

May 1 = communist May Day. Coincidence? Perhaps.

From Heritage.org, November 27, 2006:

The death of former Russian spy, Alexander Litvinenko, last week from radioactive Polonium-210 poisoning is the latest in a series of politically motivated attacks on the outspoken opponents of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Appearing alongside high-profile opponents of President Putin, he [Alexander Litvinenko] has continued to make allegations about his former bosses. Perhaps most notably, he alleged that al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri was trained by the FSB in Dagestan in the years before 9/11".

May 1 = communist May Day. Coincidence? Perhaps

Is that a new conspiracy? Maybe it is because it is International Workes Day? Or maybe to coincide with Walpurgis night (maybe the bonfires tie in with the fires in Osama's compound after the attack). Maybe it is labor day (the amazing labor's of the SEAL team that made America proud)? Maybe it is because the 1st is also Roodmas (and the celebration of the announcement of Osama's death do match the celebrations and jubilation of Roodmas)? Maybe the feast of Bealtaine (and like that feast's banishment of winter, the banishment of Osama fits in)? Or maybe the Hawaian 1st of May celebration of Lei day, which celebrates their culture (as America celebrated her amazing culture and ability in managing to kill that terrorist idiot)?

Or .....JUST MAYBE .....it was just a day that happened to be May 1st???????

Goes to show that it is not only Libs who come up with silly conspiracy theories.

There is no 'perhaps' when it comes to May 1 and communist May Day. It was just a day like any other, and I am sure if it was May 2 or April 30 when the announcement was made there would have been new 'theories' to match the atrophied thinking capability of some.

You obviously know very little about who and what Obama is. See my FR home page to learn a little something about him.

Obama and his communist left ilk hate America every bit as much as these islamic nut jobs. May Day is a huge day for them. Highly symbolic.

Golly. And here I thought that the day was chosen because of the moon was entering into a period of low luminosity. I.E., it was real dark when the mission kicked off.

elli1, like kronos77, is a big fan of the Russians. kronos77 openly admits he admires and supports KGB Putin. Meanwhile, the Russians have backed every one of America’s enemies, including Saddam Hussein, before and after the war began.
