Bin Laden is Dead—Now What?
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
Osama Bin Laden Dead! Now what? The death of Osama Bin Laden is probably the biggest story of the year, and maybe the biggest since 9/11. There are so many angles being covered such as the burial at sea, play-by-play details of the assassination operation from the White House Situation Room and the surprise announcement by Barack Obama last Sunday night of Osama Bin Laden’s death. The Hill reported yesterday, “Bin Laden’s death a transformative moment for Obama White House.” The story went on to say, “On Monday, Obama basked in bipartisan praise that included compliments from former Vice President Dick Cheney. Networks continued to broadcast images from the night before, when crowds of young students chanting, “USA” celebrated bin Laden’s death outside the president’s front door. Obama said the “world is safer” with Osama bin Laden dead, and that “this is a good day for America.” (Click here for the complete Hill story.)
But is the world really “safer?” Did this action and announcement take place for political gain amid a flagging so-called recovery and low popularity ratings for the President? I don’t know, but I don’t really get the feeling we are safer because one bad guy is dead. That is also the message I got from CIA Director Leon Panetta. Panetta was widely quoted Monday saying, “Though Bin Laden is dead, al-Qaeda is not. The terrorists almost certainly will attempt to avenge him, and we must — and will — remain vigilant and resolute.”
Osama Bin Laden’s last message to his 24 children, according to The Telegraph, says “not to fight jihad.” Yesterday’s report goes on to say, “Osama bin Laden apologised to his children for neglecting them as he devoted himself to holy war in a will written after he escaped from US forces in Afghanistan.” (Click here to read the complete report from The Telegraph.) But will his sons obey his wishes? I hope so.
Even though Osama Bin Laden is dead and gone, many new conspiracy theories are popping up. One story says, “Bin Laden has been dead for years.” The folks at Prisonplanet.com have put together some compelling video evidence to support this claim. (Click here to see the story from Prisonplanet.com.)
Others around the globe say they do not believe Osama Bin Laden is really dead. The Associated Press reported this week, “Already, those questions are spreading in Pakistan and surely beyond. In the absence of photos and with his body given up to the sea, many people don’t believe bin Laden – the Great Emir to some, the fabled escape artist of the Tora Bora mountains to foe and friend alike – is really dead.” (Click here to read the complete AP story.) Even if the White House eventually releases photos of Bin Laden shot in the head, I doubt that will convince many that believe he lives on.
So, Osama Bin Laden is dead. To that I ask, now what? His ideology still lives on and he, no doubt, will become an even more important figure in death than in life. His memory will be used in the recruitment of legions of young people who are taught and believe the U.S. is the “Great Satan.” It took nearly 10 years to find and kill Bin Laden, but we didn’t slay his ideas or anti-American sentiment. It will take much longer to accomplish that goal. Let’s hope we don’t have another 9/11 before we get it done.

What a convenient time to pull the rabbit out of the hat! Just when the dollar is sinking, Obama’s ratings have dropped, and the American way of life has diminished for many people. I’m with the group that believes Osama has been dead for years.
The world is safer? Right.
That’s what I thought. Thank you for the comment.
Greg
So, now that we’ve cut off the head of the snake, how long before we bring the troops home from Afghanistan? After all…isn’t that why went there in the first place…to hunt down and kill Osama after 9-11?
I wonder what the next excuse will be for NOT bringing troops home from Afghanistan (and the Middle East).
I fear we are in a state of perpetual war.
So Hunter is publicly jumping on the media circus wagon of disinformation? Bin Laden who, only months before 9-11 was in kidney
failure and needed 2 dialysis machines , happens to go unnoticed for 10 years while staying alive?
Where once I thought you held a rational voice of reason, you are as gullible as the masses of Americans that have been spoon-fed a steady diet of Arab terrorist movies by the Zionist traitors who are keeping an effective tight lid on the terrorist acts of Israel with State Department approval. Even Madeleine Albright knew how his death in December of 2001 would be
suppressed until the right time came along to exploit his well rehearsed culpability.
Guess what Hunter? All those IED’s that blew off so many of our boy’s limbs in Iraq were likely made in Israel. The the U.S.S. Cole was sent to dock in a known terrorist state of Yemen by the traitor Secretary Cohen without an escort. They were sitting ducks as they prepared to dock and hit by what was very likely a dolphin class cruise missle sold to Israel by Germany. John O’ Neill knew where that trail was going. The Zionist traitor Barbara Bodine did everything she could to stop the most capable expert on ‘Bin Laden’ the FBI had in their ranks.The Arab terrorist cells that Mohammed Atta was assigned to was managed by ‘Israeli Art students’ who conveniently lived a couple blocks away from Atta.
You owe your readers an apology for willful ‘knowledgeable ignorance!
Jared,
I am not apologizing for anything. However, you should for making plenty of accusations you cannot back up. I do not think that the Jews cause all the problems in the world.
Greg
I did not notice any disinformation in this artice at all. I did notice some interesting theorys about the Bin Laden assassination and some good points of discussion being raised. I also noticed that this site is not censored at all and that I am free to post my thoughts without reservation. Disinformation? I think not.
Here is another viewpoint:
” Ahmadinejad did not single out the United States but denounced the September 11 and the events around militant al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden as a plot by superpowers to save themselves.
He regretted: “They used it as a pretext; they invaded and occupied and told lies before the eyes seven billion people and killed more than a million.”
Another Jew hater in the world spewing his mouth bag while at the same time stuffing it down with religious hatred. I am a Christian, a praticing one and prowd of it. Let the Jews alone, that tiny country could not in any sense of the imagination do
all that they are accused of. Surrounded by an Arab League of Nations who pray for their demise is enough to keep that country, the size of New Jersey, completely occupied, must less responsible for every evil in the entire world.
Get a grip. It is about the war and the west. 😉
Your comments reflect the same knee-jerk response of people that don’t recognize the distinction between Zionism and merely being Jewish.
Back in 1913 (just before the start of WWI!), the Zionists set up the Anti Defamation League (ADL) in the US. The purpose of this organization was to denounce opponents of crime, deception, and the power elite’s plans for a fascist global dictatorship, as “anti-Semitics”. Zionist logic ran thus: Since Jews were merely a persecuted minority who could do no wrong, anyone who so much as suggested that a Jew was guilty of a crime or a conspiracy was at best mentally deficient, at worst a racist bigot.
Yet a Jew under Stalin,Lazar Kaganovich,
killed far more than what Jews suffered in Germany.
Why don’t you protest the hate speech of Jews against non-jew whites, such as American citizens? Or aren’t you aware of this sermon from October of last year:
“Goyim [non-Jews] were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world; only to serve the People of Israel,” said Rabbi Ovadia Yosef in a sermon in
Israel on October 16. Rabbi Yosef is the former Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel and the founder and spiritual leader of the Shas Party, one of the three major components of the current Israeli government. This type of hate speech and brainwashing fuels and justifies the terrorists who run the Israeli government. Their ex-president Katsov was just convicted of rape. Now, you can show some balls and cover the crimes of Israel honestly, or merely bend over and take it like the gullible Americans who put up with the Patriot Act and the Jew who started Homeland Security–Michael Chertoff. These are facts no matter how uncomfortable they make you feel Mister Hunter!
I am far more concerned with the power elitists in the City of London planning their New World Order than some Rabbi saying I am supposed to serve him. I do not serve anyone, Jew or Gentile nor will I ever. One of the best sites that explains this process is http://www.thedailybell.com/index.cfm Also on the topic of Jews, I watched a really good movie last week that I had never heard of before from 2001 called “The Grey Zone”, this movie is very disturbing and not for the faint of heart. I was raised a Catholic and I do not attend services anymore but I do believe in a higher power and I believe many religious teachings from all faiths are generally positive in nature. To each his own, that is why we have separation of church and state, it is all about freedom to decide what works for you.
I also read another artice on Infowars http://www.infowars.com/top-us-government-insider-bin-laden-died-in-2001-911-a-false-flag/ and there is also an interview with Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik that was quite interesting. It indicated that Bin Laden had marfan syndrome, a condition for which there is no treatment. Piecznik also make some pretty bold statements about 9/11 in the interview. This guy is no loony tune, he has numerous credentials and worked in numerous government positions under five different presidents. There are also many stories about how Osama could have been captured and or killed numerous times before and after 9/11 but there were always stand down orders given and he always slipped away. There is also the question of why he was killed and not captured. I do not believe in torture but one would think the Bin Laden would be a prime target for a good de-briefing. The obtained intel could perhaps stop numerous terror events, if in fact there really is a terror threat and or if those in charge actually even want to stop such an event or if they desire such events for political and financial gain. There are so many unanswered questions pertaining to 9/11 and now we can add the Bin Laden assassination to the pile, right next to stand down orders and building 7.
Dr. Pieczenik has now given two interviews on Inforwars.com (and prisonplanet.tv) both yesterday and today. He will continue all week with two more interviews Thursday and Friday. He has over 30 years experience, substantial in-depth direct knowledge and it would be wise to hear his point-of-view at the present time when there is considerable need to hear divergent viewpoints.
🙂 Diane
Let the truth be known Diane, regardless of where it leads. Speak truth to power and take away the power.
Dr. Pieczenik gave an amazing set of talks this week. I listened to each and every day (Tues-Fri) he dropped in another down-to-earth piece of honest analysis. You can tell by how he speaks, his attitude of humility, and the depth of his knowledge that he’s offering us a window into reality. I’m grateful to be able to listen to this opposing viewpoint, and thankfully, he’s probably going to give us more interviews. I appreciate you bringing this up, JamesM, and wish you well – and all Greg Hunter readers most definitely.

Hey Greg,
You wrote: “…but we didn’t slay his ideas or anti-American sentiment.”
We will never slay those anti-American sentiments until we slay Islam. The demand for a world-wide califait (SIC) is the problem. The implementation of Sharia law is the problem. Islam does not have a problem with America, it has a problem with our western values.
This war has been ongoing for 1400 years. Reality can be difficult for people who are brain-washed with an elitest modernity religion (our administration is full of these brainwashed people). Giving OBL an Islamic burial will not make muslims accept our western values.
Moderate followers of Islam want western values to become extinct. Moderate followers of Islam want Sharia law implemented worldwide. Billions of muslims want these things to happen.
This war is not going to end in our lifetimes. History has the blueprint for a peacefull century; however, that will require Europeans to rise-up and slaughter the easterners AGAIN. It must be done.
Individual self-determination requires it.
markm
Markm,
I hope you are wrong. Haven’t we slayed enough people in the 3 ongoing wars we have already? Thank you for your views.
Greg
Markm, history has shown that the Arabs have not been satisfied with control of the middle east. They, for one reason or another, have always had their eyes on Europe. They are trying as we speak to populate it with 10 babies or more per family who migrate there. This is an unspoken and covert operation of taking over Europe. Of course, they know it works because they have seen it working in the U.S. and other countries. However, Europeans are not Americans, and as such, they don’t have the tolerance or the politicans spewing tolerance at them daily. Europeans are raising up taking real actions against the muslims “cold” invasion of Europe, France, for example just enacted the anti “Berka law”. Europeans are vastly prowd of their cultures and they will raise up like they did before in history and put a stop to the destruction of their culture. Note, muslims don’t asimilate, they take over and want their culture to dominate. Americans could learn alot about nationalism and of being patriots and what needs to be done here at home by watching the europeans take on their modern day invasion. Sharia law will be all over the world if not stopped and it must be stopped to go no further than the middle east, where it started it must end.
Hey Greg,
The Jihadists declared war on all people not of their fifth century culture. Unilateral surrender will only end with Sharia law for all people and third rate status for women, gays, jews, and christians.
You may submit to the calafait if you wish, but don’t surrender my freedom for me.
In all conflicts, the aggressor sets the rules. We are on defense and responding to the actions of the jihadists.
Reality is difficult for some to accept; projection and rationalization will not change reality or history.
Islamo facsists are serious about their orthodox muslim idealogy; you will bow to Mecca someday. They know what is best for you.
Any idealogy that uses a religous belief system for its core standard is dangerous. Obama’s brand of neo-Marxism is no different than Islamo facsist idealogy in that we end-up with no individual freedom when fully implemented.
Obama is a nice marxist; he does not kill people…except those we don’t like; like OBL. Who is next?
markm
PS: Wars for the sake of warring will not help the survival of freedom. What vital U.S. national interest is being served with Obama’s war in Libya? I dunn-no!
Markm,
America does have friends in the Muslim world. All are not evil, however your points about Jihadists are well made and well taken.
Greg
What now?
Apres moi, Le Deluge…
The head of the beast has been severed. Who knows what the limbs will do before they die.
I often run into these rabid new Nazi’s like jared who are foaming at the mouth and blaming their hemorrhoids and everything else on Israel but never have anything to say about the cult of death Islam who can’t even get along between themselves and go out of their way to murder innocent Muslims,Hindu’s,Buddhists,Jews and Christian’s.
The most interesting thing I’ve learned about this dated and staged Obama event was how Valerie Jarret has Obama’s ears and brain in the palm of her hands and mesmerized Obama into inaction.
atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2011/05/skulking-towards-bin-laden-obama-overridden-by-military-and-intel-officials-in-takeout-of-obl.html
watching vultures watching the killing of an unarmed almost 60 year old and ill man, makes me wonder about the horrors to be done inside this country after all savings are bled or forced into risk and lost….by the same vultures and their representitives………….
OBL’s death was a great victory for the U.S. He had to die. Plus, we gathered a potential treasure trove of intelligence from the laptops and various communiques from his compound.
It’s time to declare victory and leave Afghanistan. We punished the Taliban years ago when we removed them from power. OBL is dead. Our task is done. We’d be leaving on a high note as a result which cannot be said for previous invaders. Afghanistan is hoplessly corrupt but must stand on its own now, otherwise we will be forever intangled in a nation-building scheme that has no clear definition of success. Moreover, we are spending money we don’t have and we don’t need to give Helicopter Ben any more headaches than he already has.
Unfortunately I have grown cynical to the point I look at news like this and say…so what, Bin Laden is dead, he’s alive and detained in secret, he’s been dead for years. Is the fate of this one man going to change what 99.999999999% of people do when they get up in the morning?
There is one thing that really get me.
1.) No pictures? They should have 500 pictures if they were doing their job.
To Greg’s credit, this is a political move, pure and simple. Can’t wait for the day when we see a large national news channel with Greg’s values. Thanks man.
Thank you Luke.
Greg
With all due respect to your points of view, I have to ask how many times are the American people supposed to fall for the blatant lies that the system insists on shoving down our throats? I find it very hard to accept that anyone with a clear mind can give credence to the official reasoning that the government offers for this war on terror. Firstly, It was predicated and waged on lies and perpetuated for ten years based on more falsehoods. As far as OBL is concerned, If the FBI saw no reason to bring charges against him for the tragic 9/11 events, then why would anyone else. Since the government works for the people, wouldn’t it be prudent for it to “back up” its version of justifications for mass slaughter on behalf of you and I. I think so.
Ben Franklin stated that “A lie only has one leg to stand on. The truth stands on two”. I used to be appalled that the majority of Americans suck up the coercive propaganda spewed out by our elected empty suits, but now I am just disgusted.
I do not fear the terrorist threat today nor have I ever, simply because the lies that have been given to me by my government has not convinced me too.
Is the world a safer place because OBL for the 5th or 6th time is “officially” dead. I think not as it didn’t do one thing to slow down our killing machine.
Greg, If the government and bloggers and media shills are going to keep on lying to me, I am going to keep on not believing them.
Whether he died in 2001 ( I happen to believe) or last week, it will make no difference.
He was a fantastic fund raiser for the military industrial complex, and those who needed justification to raise the debt ceiling and put us deeper into debt of the Central Bank.
The question now is; what will our feckless leaders use to replace him? Stand by for the next great catastrophe.
Wow. Talk about a guy that has 9 lives. This Osama bin Laden guy just won’t die. He’s like the dog with one eye missing, tail cut off, deaf, hit by a car, fallen off a cliff and to top it all off he answers to “Lucky.”
I think I’m going to go with the December 16, 2001 date for his death. Every few years the US government claims to have killed him again, or that he died on a kidney dialysis machine of renal failure or some other made up story. The fact is that we have pictures of Bin Laden, Bush and Saddam Hussein on a ski trip in the Swiss Alps from back in the 1980’s. Why? Because they are business partners in the international drug trade. And what more appropriate time to kill Bin Laden again than when we are about to collapse Saudi Arabia like Egypt, Syria and Libya? Symbolism to the max. So even though Bin Laden is a Saudi, we have to link him to the British Opium wars of Afghanistan in order to justify sending American troops to die defending the opium fields.
I don’t believe the birth certificate and I don’t believe this bin Laden crap either.
if it is fake, it will come out in time… They can not keep something that big hid for long… I glad they got him dead, can you only guess the problems if he had been alive
Yep. All those people got out of bed at midnight in Washington to cheer for our victory and they all just happened to have an American flag to wave for the camera. Kept it handy, right by the bed for just such an occaision.
Next time they kill Osama, all they’ll have to do is tell us that wasn’t quite dead yet when they dumped him at sea and so he swam away and rejoined Al-Quada. Boy did his kidneys ever get better. If dialysis is that good, maybe we all ought to try some of it.
With a name like Jared you’re accusing Jews?
Anyway, check out the name Jared in Genesis.
I’m inclined to agree with Sam in Arizona. I believe OBL has been dead for quite a while. Maybe even kept on ice. This situation works for islamist extremists(they have their martyr) and the prez has his kudos for okaying this Hollywood drama for the gullible public. How much do you want to bet there will be a 2 hour movie on CBS or ABC in a month or 2 parading the exploits of these super soldiers….
God help us! This Washington bunch sucks us in every time. And we fall for it!
Hey greg
I’m amazed that there are still people who believe there are moderate muslims. A muslim is a muslim! If they are not down on their mat 5 times a day they are not muslim!
Once Sharia law is implemented in a region they will kill you if you do not convert to their ideology. If they don’t, they will themselves be killed.
For heaven’s sake people. Study up on islam. It’s not a belief system that can work along side Judaism or Christianity or unbelief in either!
It just doesn’t work that way. It will be islam or death. No options.
Come on Christians! Back me up here. Once there are more mosques than churches there will be no working, jogging, fishing, playing tennis or anything else along side a muslim.
Here in beautiful, free and now mainly conservative(Republican) Canada there are mosques popping up like mushrooms on a warm day after a rain. Look around! They’re all over the States too.
It’s not coming, it’s here!
This Christian agrees but our goodie two shoes politically correct government and the media won’t stop it. I predict that in 25 years the vast american government will be under muslim law, with muslim, muslim, muslim, all over the place. The religion of peace will win out without a shot here on this side of the pond, but Europe will defend its culture, but americans will not because it will be against the law if it is not allready to rally and request support for our own culture to survive. I, for one, don’t have a belief one that america will survive as a baseball, hotdog, and american pie culture. The elite and the media will not allow us to. Its not political correct to not allow the muslims to take over our culture. Our politicans are under the mistaken belief that the muslims will assimilate into the american pie, simply not historical & based upon false premises that other huddle masses did before therefore the muslims will also; grow up america, your religion and beliefs are next in line to go.
Art Barnes,
I would suggest that a Christian ought to reconsider whether peddling blind prejudice is truly the Christian way. I find nothing in the story of Jesus which teaches us to advocate an hysterical and irrational fear of another religion. How can you really expect us to believe that you REALLY think the American govt. will be Islamic in 25 years?
This post, like the other one I recently replied to, is easily comparable to Ku Klux Klan diatribes against the ‘black danger’.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
There are some shocking remarks about Muslims made on this website by various commentators, but this one is extremely disturbing and can only be compared to Nazi or Ku Klux Klan mentality. You really need to get out more, and meet more people from wider backgrounds. Oh my goodness, have you read anything by Edward Said? This is so disturbing and racist and prejudiced and backward and sinister.
I think that this website has interesting dialogue and there is certainly a healthy lack of censorship, but the keeper of this site must surely be unwilling to permit this kind of idiotic, ignorant hatred to sully his site?
I saw you are scheduled to be on Badlands Radio tonight. Are you going to discuss any of the unusual actions around the “Death” of OBL?
Dave,
Yes, I am sure about that. I hope you listen.
Greg
40 years of putting up steel buildings and just can’t believe buildings can come straight down like they did on 9/11. Wish I could go along with all these government lies but just can’t. What the hell, lied in to a war and lied out of a war. PEACE
Bob,
I agree. Something is funny.
Greg
What strikes me first about this whole UBL thing is….Republicans especially the Glenn Beck crowd are being taught by Glenn that ALL of Obama’s staff, administartion, white house etc are bunch of eugenic loving socialist/commies….yet they believe the White House whole heartedly with this news. It was the same with Bush…all the Bush-haters, Bush is a Nazi war criminal etc….YET almost all of Bush’s detractors believed his administrations version of what happened on 9/11. Glenn Beck programs his followers with matras like ‘Question Boldly’…..yet he mocks to the point of ridicule anyone who questions the Bush Administrations version of 9/11. Which is Rule #6 straight out of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals btw, which Glenn accuses the left of using….I believe that most Americans will believe whatever they see on TV, on the news PERIOD. Especially if it rings of Jingoism and Nationalism and patriotism. These traits are exactly how Adolf got a nation to follow him.
I believe the killing of OBL is Obama’s ticket out of Afghanistan and Iraq. Did anyone notice the slips in his speech. We killed OBL last week, then later last night. I was most taken by the number of times he said “I” during the speech.
No one wants the troops home more than I do, but what are bring them home too? No jobs and long unemployment lines. This is what happened in Germany after WWI.
Are we safer? Our Southern border is still wide open. There is no urgency in sealing the border or tracking foreign nationals who over stay their Visa. The American people are tracked, frisk and herded like sheep. Hell no we are not safer, we are being trained to submit to more and more government control of our lives so the elities can fleece us in peace.
Good stuff Jan. Thank you.
Greg
Hi Greg,
I believe the last two weeks we have seen the most bizarre news events I can recall. The Obama administration is either the most incompetent bunch of idiots ever or they are the smartest ever. I guess if we survive, time shall tell. The handling of the osama chronicles reminds me of the movie Capricorn One. Anyone remember that? I feel sure obl is dead, but i doubt he died Sunday night.
The birth certificate issue, the shuttle launch that wasn’t, and now this obl fiasco are all distractions to try to keep the LSM busy with something other than the real problem, the economy. Prices of everything are soaring, with the exception of homes, yet they tell us we have no inflation. Gas is about to be $4 a gallon but thats a deal because soon it will be $5. Like you have said many times, there is no recovery and without a doubt, $4 gas will kill the economy again. This time there is no more money for the banksters to steal. So while we watch the right hand with all the distractions, we should be watching the left hand thats about to shove the dagger in our back.
Thanks Greg for USAWatchdog!
George,
Good comment and analysis!
Greg
For proof that the twin towers and WTC7 were demolished (which also demolishes the government’s entire 9-11 conspiracy theory), all one needs is a basic understanding of high school physics and the knowledge that WTC7 (which was not hit by a plane and had only minor, isolated office fires) dropped at the rate of free fall. It should be obvious why a structure cannot crush its way through tousands of tons of interconnected steel columns while accelerating at the same rate it would accelerate through air.
If it isn’t, detailed proof and explanations can be found at http://911speakout.org Look at the brief videos proving WTC7’s free fall, which even the hired liars at the NIST can longer deny. Look at the “North Tower Explodes” video, and look at the North Tower Acceleration video. This material is actively suppressed by the MSM, just as the truth about our financial crisis is suppressed.
Now, having said that, can anyone tell me why the price of silver is dropping? I’m thinking this might be a good time to buy. 😉
The Death of Osama and the Lack of Political Will.
The announcement that US Special Forces had found and killed Osama Bin Laden has brought out a variety of reactions to the event and reactions to the reactions. After watching them the old concept of the “theater of the absurd” comes to mind.
While the release of pent up frustration in celebratory reaction by much of the public is understandable, its condemnation as somehow crude or gosh is just as predictable. W e we’re told that we should be “better than that,” that we should not celebrate the death of another human being. That it brought us “down to the level” of the Arabs who celebrated in the streets on 9-11.
Well at this point, for me at least, the revulsion factor kicks in. I would ask just who do these sanctimonious jerks think they are? But then I remember that they are most likely the products public education and the victims of some faceless pseudo-Marxist college professor, and are therefore completely lacking in any real exposure to military history. How else can one explain how their pontifications are so out of context with any historical precedent? I guess then we had no right to celebrate the end of World War II or when von Ribbentrop or Tojo danced at the end of a rope after their convictions for war crimes. I doubt that the vast majority of them could tell you who von Clausewitz or Sun Tsu were without making a quick check with Wikipedia first. As such I am forced to dismiss their opinions as not worth consideration never mind even being bothered listening to them. This is what happens when people become more concerned with political correctness, moral relativism and “sensitivity.” The very notion that we should be “civil” in how we conduct war is ludicrous on its face. As someone who has traveled through the Arab and Islamic world I can state without hesitation that the only thing they respect is strength, they have nothing but contempt for weakness and accommodation.
So what then will become of American foreign policy in the wake of Bin Laden oh so celebrated demise? Given the combination of the particular ideological bent of the current administration and the continued and growing economic problems on the home front I would suspect that the lure of isolationism will become far more appealing. The population in general has grown weary of a seemingly endless war, so I would fully expect this administration to use this as an excuse to declare “mission accomplished” in the Afghanistan Theater and begin pulling out the vast majority of our troops. This would then become fodder for the re-election campaign slogans that Obama “got us out of the war” in Afghanistan. This of course would then begin the pressure to do the same in Iraq. Throwing in the need to cut our expenditures as an added measure may well make such a move politically irresistible. I’m not saying that I would be opposed to such a move if it included the caveat that it include a warning to both the Taliban and Iran that any further terror attacks against Western interests or an aggressive move into Iraq would be met with a swift and decisive move to stop it, up to and including the nuclear option. If he were to couple any such withdrawal with an announcement of renewed support for Israel and that a percentage of our troops in the area were going to be re-deployed there as a tripwire against renewed Arab state aggression against it I might change my mind. Sadly I don’t such decisive and bold actions are within the realm of this President’s thought or even consideration.
Wars are won by seeking out exploiting your enemies’ weaknesses. For the Islamists we face their greatest weakness is in their religion itself. Although there are those within the military and intelligence establishment that recognize this, our government lacks both the spine and the political will to exploit it.
Greg:
Bin Laden is dead. I don’t need details or any other stories. Bin Laden is dead. Nothing else to discuss and I believe anything else is just a distraction from the real point “Time to bring the troops home and out of harms way”.
Every other article, pontification, spin, is nothing more then garbage at this point. It is time to leave these places and bring our troops home and out of harms way.
For additional research, I recommend Michael Hoffman’s book
“Judaism Discovered”. For the record, my DNA is predominantly Hebrew.
Greg
My worry is that we are not watching what the other hend is doing. With Linsey Lohan out of the picture the Obama administration is sure pumping out some media focused information as of late. With his birth crtificate last week and now this, who’s minding the hen house. It seems like a lot of hoopla over something that has basically no affect on the issues bringing our country to it’s knees fight now. I know you posted on the Bernanke newsfeed, but where was the public responce. No one even noticed. I guess the only thing that will make America stand up and pay attention will be a terrorist attack on our ports, thus ending all imports to our country until our government has it under control. Right. Remember when every aircraft in the sky was forced down on 911 for three days. What would three days of no imports do to our country? forget about McDonalds, Wal-Mart and Food Lion. People really are missing the big picture, but I greatly appreciate your ringing the allert as you do. Keep the faith.

NM,
Long term You will be protected. Geithner is proposing a $2 trillion increase in the debt ceiling and the MSM is yawning.
Greg
LOL. You and I know its going to go through. In fact they will easily print at least 5 trillion between now and 2015. Might as well suck it all up now… rather than later! 😀
Reader,
You are probably correct. It will end up being at least $5 trillion between now and 2015. Thank you. I love to read M. Armstrong. I respect and believe his analysis!!
Greg
Glad we finally got this done but slow justice is justice denied. Had it happened in a much shorter period maybe some impact but a decade hardly speaks of swift justice and his location didn’t speak to hiding in fear. I also don’t buy he was a prisoner of the Pakistan gov’t. But Greg is right. What does it get is? And -compared to the economic jihad our government wages against us does anything else even matter?
THE CIA IS SUPPRESSING THIS WITH THE MADE UP BIN LADEN KILLED STORY
EVERYONE WHO STARTED COPYING AND PASTING THIS ON ALL BIN LADEN STORIES YESTERDAY GOT MESSAGE BOARDS SHUT DOWN. WONDER WHY?
Here are some wanted terrorists, some for U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya & Indonesia, look-a-likes for media moguls, CEO’s, and the current administration. This is a large organization of scam artists who ran the last election on Youtube. I’ve been tortured after reporting this 3 years ago to FBI
All of this was online years before the last election. Search Google Images for;

Lorrie Morgan Ferrero’s Red-Hot-Copy.com blog and website has others associated with the current administration, in addition to 72 Virgin Records Richard Branson, and White House Party Crashers the Salahi’s with Valerie Jarrett’s daughter Laura.
Sarah Palin’s family & history is fabricated using logarithms. She became a media magnet to flush out Barack (O’Bomber) Obama’s entire socialist “organized community.” Her name, Sarah (Barrac)uda) Palin, is short for palindrome, such as SOROS. McCain’s favorite band is ABBA, another palindrome. They both claim to be Mavericks. Palin coined the term “mama grizzly.” Interstate 77 American Airlines Stadium NBA Maverick Mark Cuban was under investigation for insider trading of a search company called Mamma. The first forum to attack and hack me online was FIB Scams 101 with the owner called Mama. On 9/11 American Airlines flight 77 hit the Pentagon. Palin’s daughter “Willow,” is short for Willow Run Airport off I-94, her birthday 7/7/94. “Piper,” also a plane, shares a birthday with Bruce Willis (John McC(l)ane the guy who fights the terrorists in Die Hard.) Sarah’s “siblings” are Heather Heath Bruce and Molly Heath McCa(n)n. “Trig” Palin shares a birthday with congressmen from WI, IL, and MI. “Track” Palin shares a birthday with Adolf Hitler. Obama shares a birthday with Nobel Peace Prize winner Yasser Arafat. “Tripp” Palin appears to have multiple birthdays, like Yasser.
In my strongest opinion, Osama Bin Laden is also a spokesperson, and a look-a-like. Osama represents Obama/Biden (Bi)n La(den.)
Aarron,
This all sound a little over the top to me, but I’l put it up fpr the group to digest. Thank you.

Has it occured to any of you geniuses that there is NO blood on the walls? As far as I can tell from the ABC video, NO blood appears on the wall behind where Bin Laden & his wife were said to be standing. There appears to be NO blood on the bed either. Any forensic investigator would tell you that the blood and brains of any person (or two persons in this case) who was shot twice in the head would be splattered all over the wall directly behind them, the bed, and any other nearby objects.
Instead, it appears from the video that all of the blood is pooled up on the floor where the bodies had either fallen (unlikely) or where they had been first pinned to the floor in a SWAT type of raid maneuver that we can see on reality TV and in training documentaries on the Military and Discovery Channel.
It therefore is almost certain that they were first dragged out of their bed in total darkness, pinned to the floor (possibly face down), and then finally executed (shot in the side of the head), probably on orders issued directly from Washington on a live feed through the radio headsets of the soldiers. This is the only way that all of the blood could be pooled on the floor in a tight area around where the bodies were.
This has to be the reason (and the only plausible reason) why the official story has changed so many times. When the ABC video appeared on television, the leadership at the top completely flipped out after their own advisors told them that the execution scene did NOT match the official story that they first foisted upon the American People about a 40 minute firefight, with Bin Laden running around firing an automatic weapon at U.S. soldiers.
Another aspect of this story (of a great many) that’s been bothering me:
The satellite dish outside the “mansion” was probably an uplink dish for the internet and other communications. This would truly be the only explanation for the computers that we were told he had at the “mansion.” However, in previous years, we were told repeatedly that Bin Laden never used cell phones or the internet because the N$A can track every communication on planet Earth (& possibly beyond). If Bin Laden was using these high tech methods of communication, then how could the N$A possibly have NOT known where he was?
Was it possible instead that Bin Laden has been used as a puppet (or figurehead) for nearly a decade so that a completely corrupted government, now packed full of Wall Street criminals (and their front men), used Bin Laden to keep a vastly profitable war going? A war that also has given these criminals never-before seen powers over the rights of the American People, as well as the people across the planet?
Is anyone in the media ever going to start asking these types of questions? Aren’t you people supposed to be the most highly educated and “experienced” class of wonderful, caring, professionals, that all of the common, working-class dummies (like myself) are being told to trust, through your reporting on the gross criminal actions of this “experienced” class of politicians?
These are the “political leaders” that the Banker Media have foisted upon the American People for decades through glossy reporting of cherry-picked biographies, which should highlight to every American the cronyism amongst these truly secret society and elitist billionaire mobsters.
