I Have a Question/Statement about Binnie

[Timberwolf]

Okay...US forces nearly incinerated the Tora Bora region in December of 2001. Some say Binnie escaped the devastation....fine...I'm not so sure. For such a narcissistic man with a god complex, he sure got quiet in the decade since that happened. I don't think that's possible for an arrogant SoB such as Binnie.

But, what has REALLY been bugging me is that Binnie was in Late Stage Renal Failure BACK THEN and was in need of dialysis multiple times per week.

One of my clients who is well acquainted with such conditions stated today that NO ONE lives that long when in LSRF...even if they reside at the MAYO CLINIC, let alone in some backwater hellhole in Pakistan.

The ONLY thing that would've kept Binnie alive, to be killed by us a couple days ago, would have been a kidney transplant. There are only a handful of facilities on the planet that could've done such a procedure and had it been performed, SOMEONE would've known about it.

The preceding is without question.

Add to this that the koran says that muslims must be buried FACING MECCA. The only provision, of which I know, for a sea burial is if said muslim dies AT SEA and the body cannot be buried on land by the end of the day.

So, WHO did we kill? Cuz I'm really not thinking it was Osama.

Yeah, jump my stuff...I'm expecting it...but, WHAT REASON could there possibly be for bringing this up NOW? To early to have an effect on the '12 elections. The economy is still gonna be crap when the DBM tires of reporting this....so WHY NOW?

Terrorism is once again on the front page. I'm looking for and expecting the government to implement stricter TSA regulations...let's see how it plays out, eh? But, I think the sheeple are going to be herded even more than they have been....air travel is going to be all but intolerable to most. Think "highway checkpoints".

Paranoid? Don't care...just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get me.

My personal opinion is --and has been for years, is that the Kidney Failure Story was waaaaaaay false information. al Quaedda had good reason to put out a red herring of that nature.

And it's odd that the ONLY time I've ever heard the Kidney Failure Story actually mentioned in years by a "credible" news source was yesterday when a FOX commentator brought it up, and said that the story could never be confirmed by US authorities. The remark was made in passing.

Think about it. You heard the story a lot during the early days after 9/11, and then it faded away, never mentioned or addressed again that I ever heard after about the first year.

I bought into it when it was first a topic in the news, but have since come to believe it was a red herring put out by al Qaeda.

You know that US "authorities" had access to OBL's medical records, by hook or by crook, if medical records existed. If the man was in that grave of a physical condition, it would have been in the records somewhere.

It's just my personal opinion and doesn't count for anything.

Wolfie? Is that you?

Come on, guys. Let's all take a deep breath here. I understand everybody's reluctance to concede points to the Jug-Eared Marxist in the White House. But please remember that Fubar was able to achieve this by FOLLOWING ALL OF BUSH'S WAR ON TERROR POLICIES.

Fubar simply pulled the lever. Bush built the whole machine.

[Timberwolf]

But, I'm not giving Bush a pass either...we have a war machine that's been at work in DC since Vietnam (if not before).

Why else would we BOTHER with these backwater countries (especially the one's with oil) instead of developing our own resources here at home?

Maybe I'm just more jaded and cynical than everyone else, but the way I see it, governments exist to control the masses. Our Founders did their level best to buck that "system" in giving us our Constitutional Republic. But, there have been those who wanted to go back to "the monarchy", from the get-go, so to speak (Hamilton). Today we call them "liberals" and "progressives" and there IS a concerted effort at hand to deprive "we the people" of our liberty and our rights.

I'm thinking this is just the natural culmination of government (any government) to control the people because that is the NATURE OF government...and what better way to do this than to scare the bejeezus out of the masses than to say, "Binnie's dead...what now?" to get national security back on the front burner.

Jes' sayin'....

I know what most here think of Snopes, but here's what it has to say:

...all I can say is "I dunno"...whenever something is "flat out denied" (CIA), I find myself saying, "Yeah, well what's the kernel of truth that perpetrated the rumor?"

[MrSanity]

There must've been some first class government health care in Pakistan.

You know, how there's usually a caste system for such.

I don't have the answers, but hopefully, enough will be revealed.

If you're on to anything, it's a shame he got to die a natural death.

[MrSanity]

My question is WTF did we do with the bodies of all the other Al Qaeda members killed?

And which countries were willing to take them in?

[Lubbock]

Very last paragraph of the article will bring you up short. One thing's for sure: no one is ever going to check his kidneys for disease at this stage of the game. So . . . how likely is it that anyone will ever know?

I guess if medication or medical equipment were to be found in the compound, it might prove it one way or another.

IN MY HONEST OPINION, Osama bin laden or his physical equivalent was convinced to assume room temperature within the past week or weeks. It has been opined (and I agree) that Mr. bin laden was of little use or significance to Al Queda or anyone else for the past seven or eight years. The Muslim Brotherhood, whether anyone here agrees or not, has an ally in our White House, therefore, the Muslim Brotherhood would like to see their ally reside in that White House for another four year term. Mr. bin laden, having outlived his usefulness to the Al Queda "cause", could enhance their ally's standing with the American public (at least the more gullible, and let's face it, the more stupid ones) were they to "serve up" Mr. bin laden or his physical equivalent, and as they say in Hollywood, " IT"S SHOWTIME!"
Some would query as to why this would occur at this time. The answer is much simpler that some would think. First of all, the dog and pony show that Mr. Trump entertained us with, totally backfired when the "birth certificate" they put forward was such a disasterous failure, it made the Obama regime look like the amatures they are, so something had to be done to deflect the national interest, and secondly, it had a chance of a win-win situation for Obama if not only were the national interest shifted away from his lack of eligibility to be POTUS, but it would enhance his approval rating to some extent.
But, like I said before, this is MY honest opinion.

Interesting how Hitler's health was in the crapper towards his death as well.
