True. It is speculation. Of course speculation passes as wisdom by some.
” The Tribe “
The Tribe??
George Friedman, Chairman of Stratfor, would hardly have someone working for him who is anti Israel.
Bush didn’t know if he was buried at sea. He wasn’t there. He only knows what he was told.
But I doubt you can keep a secret like that in a carrier. Someone would have blabbed by now.
I’m with you. I think Obama ... er, I mean Osama ... was cave putty long before anyone heard of Seal Team Six. This “dignified burial” hooey never sat well. Remember when we bombed the snot out of Uday and Qusay Hussein? The govornment had no qualms about publishing those death photos. And the lads were not in primo shape ...
What is the truth, given that experience shows you can’t believe a damn word that comes out of the Obama administration?
“We definitely grab the body”
“They’re gonna want it back”
“Someplace deep. Someplace deep.”
When will they put that scum, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in the freezer next to Osama?
I found Stratfor pretty useless except for easy access to locating our navy. I’m going to check out junipersec.com thank you, and I am soooo suspicious of the upcoming visit to the West Bank.
Ah, another thought, what is up with the conflicting seal reports? The more the foggier?
Not the Cleveland Indians...Say it isn’t so!
Everything about this *transparent* regime is sealed.
“George Friedman, Chairman of Stratfor, would hardly have someone working for him who is anti Israel.”
Well then, perhaps he should not have a Vice President of intelligence who refers to the Jewish people and the State of Israel as “The Tribe.”
And maybe Stratfor, if they are going to be in the business of selling international intelligence data, may want to secure their servers with a bit more security than a 12 year old girl secures her Facebook page.
“Why is it derogatory?”
I just get the feeling the the State of Israel, in a time when their existence is threatened by hostile forces would prefer not to be called “The Tribe” by those who peddle Middle Eastern Security data.
“Not the Cleveland Indians...Say it isn’t so!”
How can you expect Indians to win a World Series when they are busy disposing of Dead Nazis?
That's what I have always believed, too. Since we now have a government that lies to us with even greater impunity than it has shown in the past, how can anyone believe otherwise?
A "living" Bin Laden served the interests of neocons, the Saudi royal family, and Pakistan's ISI, probably confused the hell out of Al Qaeda fighters who were never sure what stories or orders to believe, and kept the US military from coming to think that their long assignments in the Middle East were in vain. A win for all the players except those few of us left who desire honest government.
I’m with you on this one. That someone lost their life that day I won’t argue or deny. But in my opinion, it was a Bin Ladin body double whose bad day just got worse and he had to earn whatever he was being paid the hard way.
So was the govt. lying then or are they lying now? Isn’t that the question?
One thing I do know to be true. Governments lie. All of them. It’s what they do.
These emails were private and I’ve been called a member of “the Tribe” by other members who weren’t certain either way. We don’t want to be too sensitive. I’d be surprised if it were derogatory, but you’re right about Israel being isolated. Obama’s certainly not a friend.
