Osama Bin Laden is dead

mac, Al Jazeera still has this message at the bottom of their home page: DEMAND AL JAZEERA IN THE USA. It has a space for your zip code there. I don't know what that means but I took it as Al Jazeera not being available in the US. Can someone confirm one way or another?

I can get Al-Jazeera English on my campus's cable TV.
 
Perhaps he was dead a while ago and there was no way of producing DNA to prove it? Perhaps the US blew him to little bits in one of their bombing raids? There are lots of possibilities but this story doesn't smell right at the moment. It may smell better if they produce photo evidence but it may smell even worse.

There is lots of incentive for the US to produce a story to say that they got him. Americans want him dead and they don't want the continuing uncertainty. And then, perhaps he will produce a video which shows him alive but I really doubt that one. That kind of political coup doesn't happen. It can't happen if he's dead and it can't happen if he's alive and captured. Work it all out for yourselves and stop being lemmings who are easily led to believe what their government wants them to believe. The Iraq war lies should have been a lesson once and for all! If htey could pull that one off this one should be really easy.

We can get everything. What's with the dumb username? Seriously? we had it coming? :roll:
 
Sadly there is no rational discussion of the issue right now, only resistance to believing anything other than the official story. I'll let you people stew on it for a while and see if anybody can wrap their minds around the possibilities of you all being duped by your government.

Give me a reason to doubt it.

Glad you asked about the name! I knew it wouldn't take very long. It's a name I've used on several forums ever since the 9/11 attacks. All it means is that 9/11 was a revenge attack against the US for it's actions on the Arabian peninsula. It doesn't mean that the people who died in the attacks had it coming necessarily. It just means that the US committed murder in the millions in the M.E. and the attacks were justified for that reason. It's war to them and they fought the war in the only way they possibly could.

I'm Canadian and Canadians died in the 9/11 attacks. Canada has it coming too because we took part in the first war against Iraq which I believe was just as phony as the next one. That's my position on the issue and it is very much in sync with Ron Paul's position. And btw, Ron Paul didn't say it was an inside job. He did say that the 9/11 attacks were used as justification for the phony war against Iraq. Is there really any way that an American can believe that their country 'didn't' have it coming for what their country did to the victims of US aggression in the M.E?

Thanks for asking.
 
By going to Al Jazeera people don't have to automatically believe what they read. That would be silly. But they will get some different viewpoints and be awakened to asking more legitimate questions. Assuming that Americans are allowed to view Al Jazeera site. I believe the t.v. network if blacked out in the US.

I'd believe them more frequently than I'd believe Fox or MSNBC. Still, a sceptical approach is always best.

Used as, is not the same as "is a".

millions? seriously? WTF are you talking about.

the 1st gulf war we defended kuwait against Iran. Again, clueless.


I see we got a live one here. 2 months.
 
Ben K, thanks, that confirms that some of you at least can get Al Jazeera. Sounds to me that not very many though. Nobody's proving it to me yet by reading what's on their main page. Not a big issue though, and off topic anyway.

Well, on the front page, from what I can tell, the biggest story is about Hamas and Fatah celebrating a unity deal.

No, the first Iraq war was proven to be phony too. It had nothing to do with defending Kuwait but that's what it was made to look like. We can talk about that on another thread if you wish to start one on the topic. You may want to get your facts straight on what Iran had to do with it though. You should have said that the reason given was to defend Kuwait against Iraq.

I don't know what you mean by 'a live one' and the reference to '2 months'. Is that a personal attack against me for my opinions here?

Why would you require proof beyond a yes or no answer unless you think these Americans are all lying? Is this forum in on this Osama death conspiracy?

That's right. At least you have proven that you can view it. I don't know how much it has been censored but at least they think it has. ??

How are we being duped?
 
the cia director who told brian williams yesterday that the effectiveness of eit's in extracting intel from terrorists remains "an open question" also stated that the ultimate release of ubl's death photos "was never in question"

tuesday: Panetta: Bin Laden death photo to be released - World news - Death of bin Laden - msnbc.com

today: Obama: I won't release bin Laden death photos - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

leave it to this woebegone white house to turn a terrific triumph provided by our special ops into a perplexing political problem

obama's record of complete incompetence continues

and---if the photos exist (which most mature americans certainly presume they do), they WILL be released

congratulations, president obama, for NOT dismantling the anti terror methodologies employed by your predecessor

americans are grateful

Well it IS a live news service and that is the big story of the day. They certainly led on Osama yesterday. The good thing about AJ is that it streams live, which the BBC should think about for its World News channel. Their coverage of the Egyptian revolution was also, by far, the best coverage and this despite incredible government efforts to intimidate them. I really like it while not taking off my sceptic goggles.

Ushaditcoming, while I might agree with you to a certain extent, you might reflect that such a handle is bound to, and with much justification, antagonise US posters and be seen as provocative. I'd contact the mods and change it if you seriously want to debate here rather than just engage in arguments with people. Just saying.
 
However great this news is, I fear for the safety of our troops in the middle east. I'm sure it is going to be a rough couple of weeks ahead. Here's to hoping they remain as safe as possible.

Our servicemen are in no more danger now than they were this time last week. It's not like the UBL fan club is going to hate us more than they already do.
