We spent 5 year and sent 40 seals to get him, and if what we got was someone else, then that is what would be reported. You just haven’t engaged your brain long enough to think through that other possibilities are counterfactual.
Like the guy next door who tweeted the event and the fact that if it is not Bin Laden 40 Seals in an elite professional team have to be in on the joke. Hardly.

“They captured OBL to question him elsewhere and not tell anyone.”
yeah, and monkeys fly out of my butt... actually absurd to make a very public, presidential-speech level ‘we killed him’ the cover story. if they did do that, they would just keep the whole thing secret and the public story would not be OBL dead, but “hey we tried to find him but missed”. In this era of wikileaks, there are no real big secrets that stay secret long. It’s simply a bunch of absurd hypotheticals. And for what purpose? To simply doubt that our DoD and CIA actually did something right?!? Did you doubt for a second the news about getting Saddam?

“Throwing this “conspiracy nut” aspersion around so easily is just as insulting as any other personal attack.”
Nutty is as nutty does. It’s not me doing it, its the media using FR posters as foils for there “Hey, there’s nuts out there who dont belive it” meme ... get this an FR poster gets quoted right after a Taliban spokesman, with the same whine ...

This is not snark. This is FR that is getting itself discredited because posters are saying things that are discreditable.

So, since my arguments were yesterday morning - that is what we are discussing remember - any doubts or possible other scenarios thrown out for discussion before verifiable evidence is made available - and none is made available as of the writing of this very post - is nutty to you.

I see. Well, I don’t respect your point of view one bit.

But arguing further against it is clearly pointless since you are incapable of grasping your fallacies and failures to see where your need to leap to conclusions leaves you exposed to simple reliance on faith.
