Al-Qaida confirms Osama bin Laden’s death in an Internet statement, warns of retaliation

English is not your native language, correct? If that's true, and you're not just yanking our chains, I applaud you for trying to learn another language. That being said, and im not being a smart ass, try some punctuation.

i try!

I'm sure you meant Osama is evil. Glenn Beck made that mistake, or was it?

Touche

Knew it was just a matter of time. No hard feelings, eh moodyblue;)

of course not...

I believed the President. I didn't need confirmation from a group of terrorist. I simply posted this for those who dont believe the president.

So if someone questions the government's version of this you thought they would believe this crap? For me, this isn't about Obama as much as it is about a cycle of LIES that has been told to the American people for decades and their arrogance in thinking this is no longer a democracy where such questions are encouraged, but rather an oligarchy where those who dare do so are confined to having names and insults thrown at them at an attempt to shut them up. What the hell has happened to this country? I would never find any credibility in a terrorist organization that was actually spawned by the very CIA you seem to trust.

CIA/Al Qaeda Connection

Excerpt:

"In 1978, the progressive Taraki government in Afghanistan managed to incur the anger of the United States due to “its egalitarian and collectivist economic policies.”[40] The Afghan government was widely portrayed in the West as “Communist” and thus, a threat to US national security. The government, did, however, undertake friendly policies and engagement with the Soviet Union, but was not a Communist government.

In 1978, as the new government came to power, almost immediately the US began covertly funding rebel groups through the CIA.[41] In 1979, Zbigniew Brzezinski worked closely with his aid from the CIA, Robert Gates (who is currently Secretary of Defense), in shifting President Carter’s Islamic policy. As Brzezinski said in a 1998 interview with a French publication:

According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.[42]

Brzezinski elaborated, saying he “Knowingly increased the probability that [the Soviets] would invade,” and he recalled writing to Carter on the day of the Soviet invasion that, “We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.” When asked about the repercussions for such support in fostering the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, Brzezinski responded, “What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?”[43]

As author Peter Dale Scott pointed out in, The Road to 9/11:*

For generations in both Afghanistan and the Soviet Muslim Republics the dominant form of Islam had been local and largely Sufi. The decision to work with the Saudi and Pakistani secret services meant that billions of CIA and Saudi dollars would ultimately be spent in programs that would help enhance the globalistic and Wahhabistic jihadism that are associated today with al Qaeda.[44]

Hafizullah Amin, a top official in Taraki’s government, who many believed to be a CIA asset, orchestrated a coup in September of 1979, and “executed Taraki, halted the reforms, and murdered, jailed, or exiled thousands of Taraki supporters as he moved toward establishing a fundamentalist Islamic state. But within two months, he was overthrown by PDP remnants including elements within the military.”[45] The Soviets also intervened in order to replace Amin, who was seen as “unpredictable and extremist” with “the more moderate Barbak Karmal.”[46]

The Soviet invasion thus prompted the US national security establishment to undertake the largest covert operation in history. When Ronald Reagan replaced Jimmy Carter in 1981, the covert assistance to the Afghan Mujahideen not only continued on the path set by Brzezinski but it rapidly accelerated, as did the overall strategy in the “Arc of Crisis.” When Reagan became President, his Vice President became George H.W. Bush, who, as CIA director during the Ford administration, had helped establish the Safari Club intelligence network and the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) in Pakistan. In the “campaign to aid the Afghan rebels ... BCCI clearly emerged as a U.S. intelligence asset,” and CIA Director “Casey began to use the outside – the Saudis, the Pakistanis, BCCI – to run what they couldn’t get through Congress. [BCCI president] Abedi had the money to help,” and the CIA director had “met repeatedly” with the president of BCCI.[47]

Thus, in 1981, Director Casey of the CIA worked with Saudi Prince Turki bin Faisal who ran the Saudi intelligence agency GID, and the Pakistani ISI “to create a foreign legion of jihadi Muslims or so-called Arab Afghans.” This idea had “originated in the elite Safari Club that had been created by French intelligence chief Alexandre de Marenches.”[48]

In 1986, the CIA backed a plan by the Pakistani ISI “to recruit people from around the world to join the Afghan jihad.” Subsequently:

More than 100,000 Islamic militants were trained in Pakistan between 1986 and 1992, in camps overseen by CIA and MI6, with the SAS [British Special Forces] training future al-Qaida and Taliban fighters in bomb-making and other black arts. Their leaders were trained at a CIA camp in Virginia. This was called Operation Cyclone and continued long after the Soviets had withdrawn in 1989.[49]

CIA funding for the operations “was funneled through General Zia and the ISI in Pakistan.”[50] Interestingly, Robert Gates, who previously served as assistant to Brzezinski in the National Security Council, stayed on in the Reagan-Bush administration as executive assistant to CIA director Casey, and who is currently Secretary of Defense.

So essentially I guess we could say the "death" of Bin Laden was just the CIA extinquishing a rouge agent. They made him.

Nope, I don't expect them to believe anything. This is just one more thing saying that the man is dead.. believe it, don't believe it.. I never had any doubts that the president told the truth.
I don't have a problem with anyone questioning the government. The thing is they rarely find anything that will satisfy them. When you already have the "they are lying to us" narrative in your head it's hard to shake it loose.

It isn't a narrative, it's fact.

I also believed the president and all in the situation room. Not to mention the DNA test.These conspiracy theories don't excite me any more.

Facts can be proven. Can you prove they lied?

I agree with you. I am no longer excited by "the sky is falling" crowd either.

Are you saying Muslims don't say god bless? I think you are mistaken.

I think she's got a arguable point. The typcially say "peace be upon him" or "god willing", but I dont' think I've heard "bless" used before by muslims.

Im not a Muslim nor an expert on their religion but im pretty sure they say it. Maybe not with the frequency that other religious people do but considering this was meant for Americans to read - if it's true- it's not all that surprising that they would say something like that.
I'd really be interested in a Muslims opinion on this. I know it's completely off topic but it's an interesting discussion.

Having lived in several Muslim countries and spoken with countless Muslims, I can tell you that "God bless" is not part of their usual vernacular.

Perhaps the burial group didn't know the exact words muslims use or if it was me wouldn't care. Evil should not be blessed by God.

So you just accept everything the media tells you as the truth?

What did I write that would indicate that I accept everything the media says as truth? I think we are just picking and choosing whatever story agrees with our world view. I think we are getting our info from the various types of media, and not first hand.
