im pretty sure they completely fabricated that entire story because they hosed up and crashed their top secret skunkworks stealth blackhawk that technically doesn't exist

so the president ordered a secret raid on the compound of quite possibly the most wanted man in the entire world and the elite crack team of navy seals flying an experimental prototype crash lands in the desert within earshot of the fortified complex that may or may not even contain the guy, and a dozen navy seals despite crashing a helicopter still managed to raid the compound, find the guy, and kill him before he escaped.

theres more believable poo poo in Call Of Duty

our boy obama just needed something tangible to say he accomplished during his presidency lmao. bin laden probably died months or years before that

No poo poo. When the news broke, the official story changed like 4 times in 24 hours. Like, holy poo poo, you guys launched an illegal sneak attack FOR PUBLICITY and you didn't have your story ready? What good is having a whole bunch of news orgs eating from your hand if you're going to gently caress up your own story?

"And now, in accordance with his religious beliefs, we will jettison him into the Indian ocean to be eaten by salt-water crocodiles, which he loved. No cameras."

its because we hosed up and crashed a top secret military prototype and pakistan gave it to china and told us to gently caress off. they had to obfuscate that with something people would care about, such as america murdering terrorist #1

im not gonna pretend i know why they did the raid but i find it hard to believe that bin laden was a strategically important target and anything more than publicity. there was probably another reason why they were raiding that compound.

but the official release by the US just screams damage control. yeah they were really sloppy and changed the story but they pretty much had to break the story immediately because if they didn't do it first and establish an official story then it was going to come out sooner or later that some other government has the wreckage of a top secret aircraft recovered from a failed raid on a terrorist compound and nobody is going to believe the official US line if china or pakistan broke that story first

I'm pretty sure that in this conspiracy theory Bin Laden died in late 2001 shortly after the attacks, which was reported by some local news sources and was picked up by a few outlets in the west but the claim wasn't substantiated beyond blurbs from a few Arab papers and rumors that the CIA had flown some people to Kandahar to watch it happen. The official line was that he was still alive but the government knew that he had died ( he had been quite ill for several years) and they decided to hold off on announcing it so they could report he had been killed shortly before the 2004 election to get Bush his second term.

But as luck would have it they pulled Saddam out of his little hidey hole in the desert right before the 2004 election season started and they decided to keep Osama alive as a boogey man indefinitely.

huh the video recordings bin laden released stopped happening like immediately after 9/11 and started up again with much greater frequency in 2006, and the tapes released in the interim according to the wikipedia article were unauthorized or of dubious quality. consider theres purported to be thousands of recordings of him that he never released that the government is now in possession of

I remember on the news, before the raid, where they mentioned he had health problems and needed dialysis. This is a guy living in caves in the mountains between Pakistan and Afghanistan. That's a hard existence even when you live in civilization.

If he did die of natural causes, wouldn't you be able to rally your troops by saying or supporting the idea that he was killed by soldiers of the Great Satan? Remember the movie El Cid? He died from his wounds but they tied him upright on his horse Weekend At Bernie's style and sent him charging into battle to rally his Spanish troops.

Saying bin Laden died in that raid is a win/win for both parties. As for the SEALs who wrote books about the raid, that was a big no, no in their community. Special Forces units are known as "the quiet professionals" for a reason. They only talk about their exploits to one another and when people break that code, they are ostracized by that community(examples: Lone Survivor author and the guy(s) who wrote about the bin Laden raid.

yeah but the government said that they killed him in that raid and why would they lie

surely the number of absolutely preposterous conspiracy theories is the result of a conspiracy theory as well

no its a result of paranoid schizophrenia but a term as benign as 'conspiracy theory' by itself does not implicate mental illness and those that are screaming about UFOS and tinfoil hats are generally unhinged and not someone you would call a conspiracy theorist while walking down the street so why have the two terms become conflated

consider its such a widespread concept that you can ask pretty much anyone in the country about 'conspiracy theories' and every single person will be able to tell you 9/11 was fake, the moon landing was a hoax, there are aliens in area 51, and JFK. you know, things you'd have to have to be mentally ill to even consider. you'll never hear about the bay of pigs or MKULTRA because they are things that actually happened, and conspiracy theories are things that cannot happen

Just tell them what they want to hear, make them believe in something and you’ll win. It doesn’t matter what it is, or how realistic it is. And it doesn’t matter if they hate you a year later, as the emo-progs did with Obama — just so long as you promise them poo poo. Lots and lots of free poo poo! Immigration poo poo. Jobs poo poo. Free college poo poo. Some of it is doable in like 20 years, some of it isn’t. But the run for president in the television/internet era has become a joke. Now we know for sure it has nothing to do with experience or knowledge or how well you can actually govern. It only has to make voters FEEL something right here, right now.

The MQ-9 Reaper represents the next step in remote plane technology. And that step is rigged to explode. The Reaper carries more ordinance than any other unmanned vehicle in the air, 3000+ lbs of explosives, or 14 Hellfire missiles. Standard Predators carry 2 or less. Each of these missiles are capable of taking out anything from snipers to tanks. The MQ-9 is the modern hunter-killer, made all the more remarkable because its pilots fly the UAVs in utter safety from Creech Air Force Base in Nevada.

The hellfire weighs just over 100 lbs. That's 1400 lbs, not 3000

The warhead is around 20 lbs, so the actual explosive weight is about 280 lbs.

once you realize the DNC sees voters as empty vessels, impressionable minds succeptable to whatever is placed in front of them, the allegations of "tampering" become clearer.

"Presenting facts counter to our narrative" (Ex: We rigged primary against Bernie and passed debate questions to Hillary) == "voter manipulation"

uh, the democratic party is the people's party. you're thinking of republicans. if they actually thought democrat voters were empty impressionable minds then you would see them trying to make television shows and movies about their political issues to try and passively indoctrinate people to their ideology. they wouldn't be fact checking the election if they were trying to get you to vote for their candidate :rolleyes:
