You want the real conspiracy here? Our government has known where he was every day since this started and chose not to go after him for real.
Which you have shown no evidence for but word of mouth.

We both obviously feel very strongly about how the OBL situation could have been handled, and we both obviously agree that OBL was a scumbag who deserved to pay for his ruthless brutality he bestowed not only on America, but the world as well.

While I understand your position (that he should have been brought to trial), I think that it was both implausible (because of OBL's insistence on not surrendering) and potentially dangerous.
And who is to say you won't get nuked for killing him ? Or another 9/11?
Originally posted by Judge_Holden Who is to say that terrorists/sympathizers would have taken American's hostage and threatened murder for exchange of OBL?
Good then don't stretch, it's dumb.
Originally posted by Judge_Holden I know it is a bit of a stretch
Bla bla.
Originally posted by Judge_Holdenand quite a scenario, but situations like these are quite possible with such a high profile prisoner. Also, wouldn't the threat of retaliation hold some serious weight? What about the endurance of his pathetic image? Don't you think his imprisonment (at least temporarily) would have been even more of a rallying point/badge of honor for other Islamic extremists?
I found that most dispicable aswell. I'm sure he was just letting go of some steam.

I find it a bit ironic--though I understand the emotion this situation stirs about--that you talk about American standards, and how it is the American way to give him a fair trial, yet you go on to say you wish to see his corpse brutalized and defaced. Is that the American way?

Again, I respect your opinion, and I find your words refreshing compared to a lot of the nonsense and fluff that has been floating around the board ever since the announcement of his demise. I just disagree with it.

If only you knew my sources which i can't share. This is the real OBL after they cleaned him and were about to put him to sea. Amazing. LOL

I find it curious as to why you dissected my discussion with another poster. It had absolutely nothing to do with you.
What exactly is it you wish for me to prove to you? That Osama is an admitted murderer? Watch the tapes where he openly confesses to these crimes. View the evidence of his attachments to the bombings of American Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, his involvement in numerous terrorist plots, and his connection to the bombing of the USS Cole. I have nothing to prove to you.

Why is it *amazing that a story that you cannot verify is questioned?
