My thoughts are complicated and many.
The night I heard about it a load was lifted
and I went to my friends house and said
"Let's drink beer. Osama is dead."
Then I watched ATS descend into a rash of OBL threads
like some kind of yeast infection.
This headline reads to me like it's saying
"We don't believe our own president until the enemy confirms his statements."
But that doesn't bother me.
Not at all.
I think it's good medicine for our Government to find itself not getting a free pass on anything they say.
And even better I really dig what it's doing to the rest of the world.
From what I understand many people of the middle east are pointing to conspiracy web sites in America and saying, "see, the US did 9/11, it's all a conspiracy." This makes me lol. So which is it. Is suicide bombing a brilliant difficult to fight technique developed by eastern terrorists, or is it all an American plot. I can see the recruitment posters now. "Join the Mujahadeen, and die for America's political advantage."
It warms me to think that our open society,
with it's volitile free opinions,
are inducing schizophrenia in the closed repressive cultures of the world.

Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents and still works with the Defense Department, shockingly told The Alex Jones Show yesterday that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job.

I am also waiting for a statement from Al-Zawahiri would be interesting to hear what he has to say.
Anwar al-Awlaki - the radical spiritual leader linked to several 9/11 attackers, the Fort Hood shooting, and the attempted Christmas Day bombing of an airliner - was a guest at the Pentagon in the months after 9/11, a Pentagon official confirmed to CBS News. Awlaki was invited as "...part of an informal outreach program" in which officials sought contact "...with leading members of the Muslim community," the official said. At that time, Awlaki was widely viewed as a "moderate" imam at a mosque in Northern Virginia.

I had a debate with some else about the CIA and Al’Qa’ida working together in Libya. All I will say is that I don’t believe it however it is not the purpose of this thread to discuss this issue but if you have a thread on it please direct me to it and I will happily explain why I am sceptical about that story. This thread is about the death of OBL and I would like to keep it that way
