… and you will know “US” by our deeds

And,of course we can believe anything they tell us, The whole "killing" Bin Ladin thing doesn't even come close to passing the sniff test. Personally I think the whole thing is another elaborately staged lie. I think OBL is definitly, but not the way we're being sold.
I haven't seen this much hard sell of a bogus "official" story since 9/11, and if there is one thing I have learned in life, it's that "The harder the sell, the cheaper the product" Case in point, when was the last time you saw a TV ad for Rolls Royce.

And what do you say and believe??

The video of Bin Ladens burial at sea appear to be a manakin in a white sheep. Ive seen burials at sea and the bodies were always sewed up in a homemade body bag with heavy objects to make sure it sinks to the bottom. Bin Ladens body was shown with a bed sheet wrapped around him with a string around his waist and neck. His feet and legs were clearly visible and not covered. If this were the case, I doubt that Islam would accept this as an islamic burial. The body dropping froom this altitude may likely be splattered when it hit the water. Its good hes gone but Al wahiri is still here to continue the work of terror.

"said", "said"...way too much has been "said", by all of the wrong people and at the wrong times, too much so to believe. this one reader allows for the possibility that there is a 5% chance that any information government releases is true. beyond that, it is incumbent upon my rational mind to assume that it's not true and to consider why the propaganda is being disseminated.

I don't doubt that Obama may believe what he said too, even though there is the possibility that he doesn't. However, I am much less inclined to now believe that the information given to him by the military was true and accurate. I believe that the Pentagon is much to much in bed with the military industrial corproatocracy.

So, he got his Botox before... We've already had the death confirmed.

Yeah, we got it ten years ago!

Would you like another glass of Kool-Aid to wash that thought down?

There are only two countries in the world which have arrogated to themselves the right to assassinate people in other countries despite international law - the USA and Israel. Furthermore, by doing this, the USA has broken its own laws.

I completely agree, Vierotchka. That's why the U.S. and Israel are like 2 peas in a pod and why we will defend them against all reason.

And we all know why the Cheney's are silent. They don't want to say anything that would suggest they are praising Obama and they can't bad mouth the operation that Dickie most likely green lighted. There's a reason he is living within a stone's throw of Quantico. He's still the boss.

Yes we will, TCL.

Oh sure he is, scooter. That's why he never went back to Wyoming. He will be involved with politics/Pentagon and have his hand in everything until the day he dies.

Yes, and it is our children who will be haunted. This is why I and others state that if it indeed was bin laden at that compound, that they should have taken him in and put him on trial. We spent trillions on wars, killing innocent people, killing our children in a country that did not attack us, putting ourselves in debt they will have to pay for and in the process selling our soul, and we get nothing to show for it? Those responsible for this on all sides should be accountable for their actions.That to me is real justice, not cowboy justice. But as you stated, justice appears to be dead as well. Personally, I never thought I would see this day, but I guess I too have been living in a world of illusion where I actually thought the law mattered and where showing you are better than those you fight was simply part of living in a civilized society.

Jan,
I agree with your comment on all fronts. I never thought I would live to see this day, either. The law and doing what is right no longer matters...very sad.

And the one thing so many do not seem to understand, is that any one of us can be deemed such an enemy and disposed of if those in charge (and I do think it is the same ones including Cheney) think it is warranted, and also other countries adopting the same protocol can then take it upon themselves to do the same. This goes beyond even what happened at that compound. Perhaps that is simply too high an ideal for many to comprehend? Even Bashir, who is responsible for millions dying in Darfur was indicted by the World Court.

Jan,
This country would want nothing to the World Court or our prior ideals such as Habeas Corpus because we are still protecting the entire Bush/Cheney administration. Going the route of military tribunals for the Gitmo detainees rather than trying them in a court of law smacks of that cowboy justice you mentioned because these tribunals are nothing more than kangaroo courts. What has happened to our civilization indeed? Gone are the days that anyone is confident of receiving real justice.

Rick Ungar (Forbes) said he believes Cheney is the antichrist -- I don't believe in the precepts of 'organized religion' so I don't believe in the antichrist, but considering the only way this s.o.b. can breathe is because he has a machine doing it for him, there's at least a modicum of evidence that points to that possibility :-). That said, all 'we' have to do is figure out a way to turn off that damned machine!

Exactly, wolfess! That SOB is being kept alive by health insurance we can't obtain. If he were anybody else, he would be dead already. I want to turn off that machine alright!

I know, and he sees nothing wrong with having the kind of insurance (and money; any power) he has compared to what the rest of us have -- he reminds me a lot of the badyear blimp ... "I've earned what I have and you peons be damned." Remember the peons in the French Revolution -- it's past time for a little righteous adjudication.

Even Cheney's own friends have commented that with each near-death experience this robot has "lived" through, he has become less of who he was to the point of non-recognition. Cheney has gradually become a cyborg. Even his latest look appears closer to Lex Luthor, a cartoon villian that only mimics real life. I think he's actually past the point of pulling the plug or even driving a stake into his mechanical heart. His creators will simply rebuild him, like the 6 Million Dollar Man. But by now, Cheney has become the 60 million dollar man.

I'll say it's past time. wolfess. It's long overdue. But we are sure trying here in WI! There is another rally to be held in Madison on Saturday, May 14th.

Great comment, scooter, but a scary one.....I think you're right.

Please don't scare me like this -- my last best hope has always been that when his time is up it really will be 'up' -- leave it to this sonaofabitch to even cheat God! Oh wait ... I believe in the GodDESS; I know from my years of pms and perimenopause that when SHE gets tired of him it WILL be OVER :-)!!!!

It would be soooo cool if I could be at that rally -- I need another rebellion shot in the arm -- I think rallying with all you good people could be just what the doctor ordered :-)!!

With Taxpayers dollars... =(

Yes, the phrase "follow the money" is their form of justice.

I'd love to have you at the rally, wolfess. :)

It sure is, Jan.

All we need is one of his doctors (engineers) to cross the wrong wires one day and fry his main circuit board. That should do it, wolfess.

You bet, KB. He never spends his own money, just makes more at our expense.

The real life, Terminator.

I love it! Let's see ... 3 laptops ago I spilled coffee on it and had to go buy a new one -- how 'bout we go throw a bucket of coffee at the cyborg????

I'm seriously thinking about coming -- I looked up the miles on mapquest and discovered it isn't as far to Madison as it is to my hometown; it's a straight shot from here to Iowa City and then I make a little turn to get the rest of the way. I haven't been able to talk my husband into making the trip, and I'm kinda nervous about driving alone. I checked out plane tix and there is no way to do that, but I am still seriously thinking about coming. I'll let you know ...

OK, wolfess. I hope you can come. Go to story #5. I have the details for the rally there.

With Cheney, I would do that just for grins, wolfess.
