The bin Laden plot to kill President Obama
Washington Post ^ | March 16, 2012 | David Ignatius

Posted on 03/16/2012 9:36:21 AM PDT by bkopto

Before his death, Osama bin Laden boldly commanded his network to organize special cells in Afghanistan and Pakistan to attack the aircraft of President Barack Obama and Gen. David Petraeus.

“The reason for concentrating on them,” the al-Qaeda leader explained to his top lieutenant, “is that Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make (Vice President Joe) Biden take over the presidency. … Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the U.S. into a crisis. As for Petraeus, he is the man of the hour … and killing him would alter the war’s path” in Afghanistan.

Administration officials said Friday the Obama-Petraeus plot was never a serious threat.

The scheme is described in one of the documents taken from bin Laden’s compound by U.S. forces on May 2, the night he was killed. I was given an exclusive look at some of these remarkable documents by a senior administration official. They have been declassified and will be available soon to the public in their original Arabic texts and translations.

Besides his handlers aren’t ready to get rid of him yet. He’s still a useful fool tool.

I can just see it now:

The breathless Brian Williams asking the Dope in Chief, “So how do you feel, now knowing that you were public enemy #1 in Bin Laden’s eyes?”

“Uhhh, well Brian, uhhhh, this just reaffirms my gutsy, derring-do decision to take out Bin Laden, and little did I know, at that time, he was wanting to make Malia and Sasha fatherless kids. But I got to him first...”

Sounds like Benny Laden had some excellent intel on Biden.

““The reason for concentrating on them,” the al-Qaeda leader explained to his top lieutenant, “is that Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make (Vice President Joe) Biden take over the presidency. … Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the U.S. into a crisis. As for Petraeus, he is the man of the hour … and killing him would alter the war’s path” in Afghanistan.”

What’s truly remarkable here, is that anyone might actually think the Afghanistani terrorists wouldn’t be targeting Obama if they could.

The same could be said of Bush.

You get right down to it, when have these terrorists been bashful about targeting Clinton, the elder Bush, Reagan...

DUH!

Hell, they targeted U. S. Citizens and our infrastructure too. Has Ignatiums heard of 09/11/2001?

Does that make us presidential too?

LOL! Good one.

Color me skeptical as well. The timing is particularly suspicious. When Osama was put down for a dirt nap, I read that they took his hard drive and other recorded data devices which turned out to have little or no encryption.

So if this was really true, it would have been available by about July of last year.

Why would Bin Laden kill Omoslem when Omoslem is destroying the USA for him?

For that matter why would he have done 9-11? Seems to me their prior tactic of "emigrate and reproduce" had been wildly successful.

Cripes...Obammy needed Biden to give him some gravitas. I'd take Joe "Special Needs" Biden as CIC over this turd any day of the week.

Losing General Petraeus would have been a huge loss.

Just more fog, this time from the Great Enabler.

I don't believe for a moment that any of the past events are true or verifiable.

More on the QT as soon as blood temperature stabilizes.
