CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta argued that bin Laden was likely suffering from "chronic kidney failure, renal failure."

This was brought on by 5.56 rounds through the kidneys.

Which time?

So Bush 41 got’em. No wonder the media was making Tora Bora to be a failure.

[DarthVader]

Lead poisoning!

[Undecided 2012]

He probably was killed in Tora Bora but we had to kill the myth that he was still alive. Either way he’s bye bye.

COVID-19. It’s Trump’s fault, but 0moeba gets the credit for stern leadership.

There is no death/murder/assassination without a body.

Missing from this story is any comment from James O’Neal, the Navy Seal credited with the fatal shots. It seems to me that his input would be important.

“ On October 7, 2002, CNN ran a speculative article”

Gee, that NEVER happens

My BS meter was overwhelmed a long time ago. More bread and circuses for the masses.

IIRC, they did DNA testing on the remains recovered from Abbottabad. It was him.

[petitfour]

He wasn’t wearing a mask?

Any Navy personnel know about burial at sea? I would think it would be an honor for American veterans only and Navy personnel killed in the line duty aboard ship.

There’s a lot of crazy to unpack here, but maybe it’s good to do it once in a while to keep the old brain working.

1) there was an aerial incursion into Pakistan. We lost a high-tech Blackhawk I’m the process of a hard landing in abbotobad. There is open source media, including contemporaneous accounts on Twitter at the time to confirm this.

2) media collected in the raid and released afterwards included video of Bin Laden, visibly older than the claimed possible death dates.

3) the sheer number of people who would have had to be in on this ongoing conspiracy is astounding, it would number into the tens of thousands of people; political, military, Intel, media, foreign government, etc... And span across both the Bush and Obama presidencies as well as be maintained by multiple hostile foreign governments ... and not be revealed in any of several very sensitive data leaks.

As I recall the Kenyan had released his fake birth certificate online. When the momentum of disbelief in its authenticity started to grow Bin Laden was announced dead.

[Libloather]

Gators got him?

“if President Barack Obama had terrorist Osama bin Laden killed in May 2011 at the latter's Abbottabad compound in Pakistan, Obama would have had to bring him back from the dead to do so.”

He was looking at x-rated photos on his computer when the military busted in.

[Vermont Lt]

He died when they put him the freezer. Then when Obama pulled him out to take photos he miraculously came back from the dead.
