Can US Offer Final Proof Of Osama's Death?
Sky News/Yahoo News ^ | May 2, 2011 | Sky News

Posted on 05/02/2011 12:40:51 PM PDT by UniqueViews

The circumstances surrounding Osama bin Laden's reported death raise urgent questions over how the US is so sure it got its man.

US officials have said DNA testing has proved the al Qaeda leader was killed in a villa in Pakistan.

They have also identified him by facial recognition.

But photographs of Bin Laden after his reported death have not been released.

The release of a photograph purporting to show bin Laden's corpse - which was later confirmed to be a fake - added to the confusion.

Journalists have not yet had the opportunity to ask more than a few questions of the Obama administration about details of Bin Laden's death.

The announcement is not the first time the world has heard of Bin Laden's death. Claims that the US and Britain kept up a pretence he was alive in order to continue their war on terror have been dismissed as conspiracy theories.

It has been suggested that bin Laden died nearly 10 years ago during the battle for Tora Bora in Afghanistan, either from a US bomb or from kidney disease.

Don’t they keep doubles of these guys around?
I recall there was a notorious double of Saddam.
I remember we examined photos here on FR and determined he was not the real Saddam.

but I do believe that the SEAL team would not lie.

Oh. You talked to them? I guess we can put this to rest then.

I honestly believe they could send you Osama’s head and you would still question it’s authenticity.

If Bin Laden isn’t dead, there will be a new video tape from him within a week.

>>>In addition,this is a feather in the cap for Obama in 2012.

Not.

It does nothing to lower the price of gas. Or food. Or put people to work and lower unemployment. 0bama’s re-election hinges on the economy - if the Republican nominee has the balls - literal, or figurative - to run hard against him on the economy.

I sure would. Pending Independent international forensic verification.

I can’t believe how gullible America is.

The Mossad knows what happened. Will they say? Maybe.

***********************

Facts:

1)Obama has Muslim Brotherhood advisors on the White Hut staff:

ex-CIA Agent Reveals: “Muslim Brotherhood” has infiltrated Obama Administration
http://notalemming.wordpress.com/2011/02/03/ex-cia-agent-reveals-muslim-brotherhood-has-infiltrated-obama-administration/

2)Obama is falling in the polls, 42% approval rating and going South. Gas prices and inflation are soaring

3) Obama is being attacked on proving his place of birth, so successfully he has had to respond with his own propaganda initiative, and needs a distraction.

4) Obama is a grift artist, and lives by the campaign in which false images are presented to boost his popularity, this from the outset of his presidential campaign , which has not ceased with his inauguration.

5) Obama, by his conduct on Libya, the betrayal of allies of the USA on he WOT, Mubarack and Kadaffi, shows that he supports the Muslim Brotherhood and the spread of the World Wide Caliphate movement into North Africa and sub Saharan Africa.

Conclusion: I do not believe a thing that Obama does and says. If Osama Bin Laden is dead, I give credit to George W Bush who launched the Bin Laden hunt program years ago.But given the above stated facts, there is more than an even chance that his whole situation was staged to falsely END the hunt for Bin Laden, who may be even now lapsing into a comfortable anonymous retirement in a secret location.Taquiya,a major component of the Muslin Brotherhood that now is daily advising a traitorous president.Given Obamas thuggishness, his history of concealing all of his personal record, I objectively conclude that Bin Laden is alive and well and kicking back somewhere very safe.All the details of Osama Bin Ladens proof of death could easily have been staged. The body is so disfigured, that no visual ID can be made, and he was allegedly buried at sea. Sorry....no cigar.The body should have been brought to the USA and a very careful verification completed.It was not. Obama lies.

There is no true forensic independent verfication which should have been given as proof to NATO Allies.Indeed the body should have been handed over to NATO for verification of identity.Why was it not? I conclude Bin Laden was not killed.

Why would Osama do a video? He would rather have the hunt for him stop, I’m sure.

Sky is Fox-UK.

The main thing to remember is that Obama’s credibility is RUINED with any voter possesed of a shred of curiosity.

So why not question? Obozo’s lips were moving, so we had a safe bet that he was either outright lying or distorting and mischaracterizing the operation for his own selfish political purposes.

I get it but the fact is that the BLOGOSPHERE is the most credible news source to be found nowadays.

Yes but you have to have a known verifiable sample of biological material from who you are trying to ID to compare the corpse to. The question should be where and when could we possibly get such a sample from Osama?

Who on a SEAL team would do a press release?

A previous sample from Osama would be ideal, but comparing his DNA (autosomal, Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA) to known family members would be enough to give you good confidence.I understand we have DNA from some family members, including his son killed with him.

Sheesh. I give up. If they do release a photo will it change your opinions? Highly doubtful You will just call it a photoshop.

One guy even said he wouldn’t believe it if they sent him Osama’s head.

I used to chastize people for having BDS. I really think some of you have ODS and should take a step back before we nominate a chicken who can see into the future or something in 2012. Clucko: The All Knowing. 2012!

I’m not going to believe only a press release or a “speech.”

Surely, U.S. citizens are not that gullible.

Only if it is done by a trusted source...like the Swiss. Don’t forget he had body doubles.
