General Kahlid Shamim Wynne, Pakistan’s Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, canceled his planned six day visit to the United States.
The General has not yet given a reason.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Yusuf Raza Gilani, said in an interview on May 12, that communication between the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence has broken down.
U.S. Ambassador Cameron Munter was summoned to Pakistan’s Foreign Office, where an official protest was issued to him.
Pakistan’s Foreign Affairs Secretary, Salman Bashir, officially stated that the May 2 operation to assassinate Osama bin Laden was an attack on Pakistan. He added the Pakistan will not tolerate any future operations from the U.S., without consultation.
Ambassador Munter said it was regretful that the U.S. did not consult with the Pakistani government before the operation.
The May 2 operation, and the fact that U.S. drone attacks continue, is splitting the Pakistani government. Several political parties in the Pakistani Parliament, are calling for an end to relations with the U.S.
Since the supposed assassination of Osama bin Laden, the United States has actually increased the number of drone attacks in Pakistan.
Since May 2 there have been four attacks.
An unnamed official says the assassination of bin Laden will not affect U.S. policy in Pakistan: “There are absolutely no plans at present to cease or scale back U.S. counter terrorism operations in Pakistan.”
Tokyo Electric Power Company admits high levels of radiation contamination in Reactor 3 spent fuel pool, are coming from the reactor’s core!
TEPCo recently tested the water of the spent fuel pool, and found radiation that was not present prior to the 11 March disasters, which damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
The readings are 140,000 becquerels of radioactive cesium-134, 150,000 becquerels of cesium-137 and 11,000 becquerels of iodine-131 per cubic centimeter. The clue that the radiation is coming from the reactor core is the iodine. Iodine is a short life radioactive isotope, and is created during nuclear fission. (don’t confuse iodine with iodide)
The home video released by the U.S. Department of Defense is pathetic. The decrepit man in the video, supposedly Osama bin Laden, was so much a threat to the world that we had to expend such great effort to kill him?
What I see in the video, is a really old man who spends his days watching videos of himself (if it is Osama bin Laden). Again, pathetic! Yeah right this guy was directing all kinds of evil against the world! The guy probably had alzheimers and had to watch videos of himself to remember who he was! What a threat; send in the SEALS, no wonder there wasn’t any resistance to the assault.
Why not simply arrest the old codger and bring him back to New York City?
Has anyone seen if the video ever shows the old guy’s face? I find it suspicious that what the U.S. media shows is from behind.
Come on President Obama, the Bush Jr administration was better at BS than you! I’m putting on hip waders, it just gets deeper and deeper!
“If the U.S. military and intelligence apparatus have really arrested or killed bin Laden, why don’t they shown him (his dead body), why have they thrown his corpse into the sea?”-Heidar Moslehi, Iran’s Intelligence Minister
Iran’s Intelligence Minister, Heidar Moslehi, claims Osama bin Laden died from disease years ago. Pakistani officials made a similar claim a few years ago.
Moslehi goes on explaining that the U.S. claimed that it was following Islamic law, when they dumped bin Laden’s body, but Islamic law does not approve of burial at sea, and does not have a specific timeline for burial. He says this is a sign that the Obama Administration is lying about what they did with Osama bin Laden.
Moslehi says the claim by Obama that their DNA evidence is proof, is weak, because they are not giving details of the DNA process. Also, it’s possible to get a 99.9% match through any close relative of Osama bin Laden, and the bin Laden family is big.
A University of California criminology professor points out that DNA testing is not that reliable: “If the DNA test compared the profile of the man shot in Pakistan with members of bin Laden’s family members, the results could properly be presented only as a likelihood ratio…”-William thompson, UCI In other words, DNA will not provide the actual identity of an individual, only a probability. Is it possible the U.S. assassinated a close relative of Osama bin Laden?
Even though Iranian officials criticize the Obama Administration for weak evidence, Iran has not produced evidence for their claim that Osama bin Laden died years ago.
Why does the information about the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan, continually change? Why did they dump his body in the ocean for bogus reasons? Did they dump his body?
First they said they shot him in a fire fight, that was later changed to, “he was resisting”, and then his daughter, and witnesses come out and say there was no resistance. Now Obama officials back that claim up, saying that of all the people killed in the compound only one was armed. Bin Laden’s daughter also says he was shot after being put on the helicopter.
Obama officials tried to use excuses about observing Islamic law when they dumped him in the ocean. But I’ve shown how their claims of respecting religious laws are bogus. Claims that bin Laden’s body would be a made into a “shrine” are bogus, because he, and other members of al-Qaeda are Whabbi Muslims, who do not practice such things.
Now realize that the United States has been involved with Osama bin Laden ever since the 1980s. He was our boy during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. After that war was over, any attempt to “get Osama” was piddly and failed. There are documented statements from intelligence officials, going back decades, that say they knew where he was, and that he was working for us.
So my crazy question is this: Was this suspicious sounding raid to kill Osama bin Laden really a cover up for an elaborate witness protection program? Assault the compound with two helicopters, guns blazing, take bin Laden and make it look like you kill him, say you dump his body at sea, and really he’s now living somewhere in a guarded witness protection program, because he has too much dirty info on the U.S. government (and he’s rich you know).
By the way, did anybody forget that the bin Laden family are buddy buddy with several U.S. officials, including former President Bush Jr?
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
“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.
“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!
