Obama administration flip flops on bin Laden raid info, bin Laden’s daughter says he was killed AFTER capture
Ever since the announcement that Osama bin Laden was dead, the Obama administration has been flip flopping on the details.
First they said bin Laden was killed in a fire fight. Then they said he was resisting, but not armed (how does a sick 54 year old man resist without weapons?). They said he used a wife as a human shield, they flopped and said she willingly rushed at the U.S. forces. First they said she was dead, now she was just wounded in the leg.
What’s up Obama? I thought you guys watched the whole thing live? You issued a pic of your cabinet supposedly watching the event live?
Now Pakistani officials say Osama bin Laden’s young teen daughter witnessed the whole thing and says her father did not resist, and that U.S. forces killed him AFTER they got him on the helicopter. Is this the real reason they dumped his body in the ocean, to cover up how he was killed?
“Not a single bullet was fired from the compound at the U.S. forces and their choppers.”-Pakistani security official
Pakistani officials, and locals living in the area, say only the U.S. forces were doing the shooting, no shots came from anyone in the bin Laden compound.
Here are the latest statements from Obama’s officials: “…rushed the U.S. assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed.” “Bin Laden was then shot and killed. He was not armed.” –White House Press Secretary Jay Carney
At least 90% of Americans did NOT watch royal wedding on TV
Many media outlets are claiming that Americans loved the royal wedding because millions watched it. This is a clear case of the main stream media manipulating data to mislead. Yes millions did watch, but not anywhere near the majority of the people in the U.S., in fact it was a small minority.
Television ratings company, Nielsen, said only 23 million people (Nielsen used the term “viewers”, not to be confused with “households”) in the United States watched the royal wedding on TV. That’s only 7.4% of the population, the official U.S. population is about 310 million. To put it another way; at least 90% did NOT watch.
In fact when you look at “viewer” ratings for television in the U.S., you’ll realize that, when compared to the total population of the country, not that many people actually watch TV.
Proof the Japanese need to be more social; Japanese scientists build cyber ‘french’ kissing machine
Japanese scientists are working on a cyber ‘french’ kissing machine. The machine works by sensing the actions of your tongue, then transmitting that to another machine across the internet.
It’s hoped that the machine will help Japanese people to interact more intimately over the internet (maybe they should get out more?). Scientists hope to recreate “…the sense of taste, the manner of breathing, and the moistness of the tongue.” At first it sounds pathetic, but wait, there is a profit motive; marketing ideas include getting a kiss from your favorite celebrity.
Why a french kissing machine? Scientist say it’s still too hard to mimic the movements of lips.
Don’t blame Pakistan. U.S. knew for years where Osama bin Laden was, because “he was your operator”
“Look everybody knew that Osama bin Laden was hiding out in Pakistan. Al-Qaeda and Taliban have officers with practically, publicly known addresses and that was no secret that the ISI and other factions of the Pakistani military were backing this and this was not secret. That enormous amount of Saudi money was supporting these operations including al-Qaeda.”-Jeff Steinberg, Executive Intelligence Review
There’s growing calls for action against Pakistan for “hiding” Osama bin Laden. But the truth is that the U.S. government knew bin Laden was in Pakistan, or at least being protected by Pakistan, for years, if not decades.
In October 2010, The Guardian published an article in which an unnamed NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) officer said bin Laden was in Pakistan and that “Nobody in al-Qaida is living in a cave.”
An NBC interview of current Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari (husband of assassinated Benazir Bhutto), aired in May, 2009, in which President Zardari said the U.S. government always knew where bin Laden was in the past, saying “…he was your operator.” He believed bin Laden was now dead because: “I’ve asked my counterparts in the American intelligence agencies and they haven’t heard of him in seven years.”
David Frost interviewed Benazir Bhutto in November 2007, and she said bin Laden was dead. She was explaining that a failed October 2007 assassination attempt on her life could have been carried out by “…Omar Sheikh, the man who murdered Osama bin Laden.”
ABC news aired a story in February 2007, in which they say the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) said bin Laden was in Pakistan: “…to the best of our knowledge that the senior leadership, No. 1 and No. 2, are there, and they are attempting to re-establish and rebuild and to establish training camps.”-Mike McConnell, Director of National Intelligence
CBS news, in a January 2002 report, not only said bin Laden was in Pakistan, but was near death because of failing kidneys. According to the reporter, even the President of Pakistan knew: “But it was Pakistan`s President Musharraf who said in public what many suspected, that bin Laden suffers from kidney disease, saying he thinks bin Laden may be near death. His evidence, watching this most recent video, showing a pale and haggard bin Laden, his left hand never moving.”-Barry Petersen, CBS correspondent
On August 22, 2001 (weeks before September 11, 2001) The Asia Times published an article that said the United States, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan were in negotiations for the capture of bin Laden, in order to avoid “…the secret deployment of US special forces in northern areas, for an operation inside Afghanistan to apprehend bin Laden ‘dead or alive any time soon’.”
You can go back all the way to the 1980s, when the United States, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan worked together to bring Osama bin Laden to Afghanistan to create what would become the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. Ahmed Rashid, respected expert on Afghan issues, quotes bin Laden in his book “Taliban” (first published in 2000): “I settled in Pakistan in the Afghan border region. There I received volunteers who came from the Saudi Kingdom and from all over the Arab and Muslim countries. I set up my first camp where these volunteers were trained by Pakistani and American officers.”-Osama bin Laden
So from the beginning, all the way back to 1980, Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan, by his own words. The fact that he was supported by not only the Saudis and Pakistanis, but the United States, should cause concern, and doubt about what any of the governments of those countries now say about bin Laden. There are many more statements by public officials from the U.S. and Pakistan that show, if anything, the public has been lied to from day one.

British newspaper proves bin Laden death photo a Fake
The Guardian has shown how a photo of a dead Osama bin Laden is actually two photos put together.
The photo uses a picture of bin Laden, and a picture of another man, were super imposed and computer enhanced. The faked photo originally appeared in April 2009.
U.S. officials admit they “dumped” Osama bin Laden’s body, more bullsh*t!
“You wouldn’t want to leave him so that his body could become a shrine.”-unnamed official
According to a Reuters report, bin Laden’s dead body was dumped so it would not become a symbol, or inspiration for would-be militants. This is more bullsh*t! Muslims do not keep bodies on display! ALL Muslims are to be buried in the ground, if possible. Somebody give me an example where a Muslim was dug up and used as symbol of inspiration, or a “shrine”! That is another violation of Islam!
It’s starting to sound like Obama officials, who are obviously ignorant of the ways of Islam, are scrambling to come up with explanations as to what happened to the body. This also proves that Barack Obama is NOT a Muslim!
Iraqis say Israeli warplanes seen on U.S. base in Iraq
A source close to prominent Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sader, say they have seen Israeli aircraft on the al-Asad air base in Iraq.
The aircraft have been taking part in night time training exercises. The unnamed source says the exercises are part of preparations to attack Iran.
This is not the first time that Israeli aircraft have operated in Iraq. In 2008 Iraqi government officials reported that the U.S. was allowing Israeli planes to land and take off form bases in Iraq.
From the grave: Benazir Bhutto says Osama bin Laden assassinated years ago
“Yes but one of them is a very key figure in security, he is a former military officer … and had dealings with Omar Sheikh, the man who murdered Osama Bin Laden.“-Pakistani Premier Benazir Bhutto, 2007 interview by David Frost
More questions about President Obama’s claims that Osama bin Laden was killed on May 1, 2011.
In an old 2007 interview, former U.S. ally, and former Pakistani Premier Benazir Bhutto, said Osama bin Laden was assassinated by a man named Omar Sheikh. She was explaining that a failed October 2007 assassination attempt on her life could have been carried out by “…Omar Sheikh, the man who murdered Osama bin Laden.”
She also mentioned that bin Laden’s son could have been behind the attempt on her life. Bhutto was assassinated in December 2007.
