Opinions/Editorials Title: The Obama – Osama bin Laden Lie >www.extremumspiritum.com/images/2009/12/obama-osama.jpg"> I truly believe Osama Bin Laden is dead. But not recently dead. Based on evidence I believe that Osama Bin Laden has been dead for several years and that the government has concocted the recent kill story to tie up loose ends. The U.S. government needed to make the world believe that Bin Laden was still alive to give them an excuse to stay in Afghanistan and Pakistan to continue what ever corrupt agenda the U.S. government has. Now that the U.S. government no longer needs Osama Bin Laden as an excuse to be in (or stay in) Afghanistan and Pakistan they have decided it is a good time to kill him off. Not really kill him off since he was already dead but more or less write him out of the story like an actor from a tv series. Objective Evidence that Bin Laden has been dead for several years The objective evidence includes the following facts: First, up until mid-December 13, 2001, the CIA had regularly been intercepting messages between bin Laden and his people. At that time, however, the messages suddenly stopped, and the CIA has never again intercepted a message. Second, on December 26, 2001, a leading Pakistani newspaper published a story reporting that bin Laden had died in mid-December, adding: A prominent official in the Afghan Taleban movement . . . stated . . . that he had himself attended the funeral of bin Laden and saw his face prior to burial. (Fox News Article) Third, bin Laden had kidney disease. He had been treated for it in the American Hospital in Dubai in July 2001, at which time he reportedly ordered two dialysis machines to take home. If you have ever wondered what bin Laden was doing the night before the 9/11 attacks, CBS News reported that he was being given kidney dialysis treatment in a hospital in Pakistan. And in January of 2001, Dr. Sanjay Gupta said based on a video of bin Laden that had been made in either late November or early December of 2001 that he appeared to be in the last stages of kidney failure. Fourth, In July of 2002, CNN reported that bin Ladens bodyguards had been captured in February of that year, adding: Sources believe that if the bodyguards were captured away from bin Laden, it is likely the most-wanted man in the world is dead. Fifth, the United States has since 2001 offered a $25 million reward for any information leading to the capture or killing of bin Laden. But this reward offer has produced no such information, even though Pakistan has many desperately poor people, only about half of whom have been supportive of bin Laden. Testimonial Evidence that Bin Laden Is Dead In addition to this objective evidence, we had considerable testimony in 2002, from people in position to know, that bin Laden was dead, or probably so. These people included: President Musharraf of Pakistan; Dale Watson, the head of the FBIs counterterrorism unit; Oliver North, who said: Im certain that Osama is dead. . . And so are all the other guys I stay in touch with; President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan; Sources within Israeli intelligence, who said that any new messages from bin Laden were probably fabrications; Sources within Pakistani intelligence, who confirmed the death of . . . Osama Bin Laden and attributed the reasons behind Washingtons hiding news on the death of Osama Bin Laden to the desire of the hawks of the American administration to use the issue of al-Qaida and international terrorism to invade Iraq. For this reason, perhaps, the stories about the demise of bin Laden largely came to an end in the latter part of 2002, when the United States was gearing up for its attack on Iraq. From then until now, there have been few such stories. Recently, however, two former intelligence officers have spoken out. In October 2008, former CIA case officer Robert Baer suggested in passing during an interview on National Public Radio that bin Laden was no longer among the living. When Baer was asked about this, he said: Of course hes dead. In March of 2009, former Foreign Service officer Angelo Codevilla published an essay in the American Spectator entitled Osama bin Elvis. Explaining his title, Codevilla wrote: Seven years after Osama bin Ladens last verifiable appearance among the living, there is more evidence for Elviss presence among us than for his. This is an excellent article, with only one serious flaw. In 2007, Benazir Bhutto, being interviewed by David Frost, referred to Omar Sheikh as the man who murdered Osama bin Laden. Codevilla cited this statement as further evidence that bin Laden is dead. But Bhutto had simply misspoken: She had meant to say the man who murdered Daniel Pearl, which is the standard way of referring to Omar Sheikh. That she misspoke was shown the next day, when she told CNN: I dont think General Musharaf personally knows where Osama bin Laden is. Ten days later, speaking to NPR, she reported having asked a policeman assigned to guard her house: Shouldnt you be looking for Osama bin Laden? This flaw aside, Codevillas article provides good support for his claim that the widespread belief in bin Ladens continued existence is not backed up by evidence. >www.extremumspiritum.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ob1-158x300.jpg"> >www.extremumspiritum.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ob2-158x300.jpg"> What if everything we have seen or heard of him on video and audio tapes since the early days after 9/11 is a fake and that he is being kept alive by the Western allies to stir up support for the war on terror? Incredibly, this is the breathtaking theory that is gaining credence among political commentators, respected academics and even terror experts. Of course, there have been any number of conspiracy theories concerning 9/11, and it could be this is just another one. But the weight of opinion now swinging behind the possibility that Bin Laden is dead and the accumulating evidence that supports it makes the notion, at the very least, worthy of examination. The theory first received an airing in the American Spectator magazine earlier this year when former U.S. foreign intelligence officer and senior editor Angelo M. Codevilla, a professor of international relations at Boston University, stated bluntly: All the evidence suggests Elvis Presley is more alive today than Osama Bin Laden. >www.extremumspiritum.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/realosama-300x120.jpg">
