Totenkopf Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The computers were just filled with porn. Sample Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) In Bin Ladin defense the women were wearing burkas. Well, I guess it's "official" now: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-pornography-found-bin-laden-hideout-officials-162214194.html But, hey, I guess if you were locked away in Pakistan w/his wives (judging from the pics).....porn might seem like an attractive distraction.

Liverandbacon Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 kids, don't drink and debate. Learnt that particular life lesson at uni. It all goes well at first, until people get pennied a few times, everyone's a few more pints in, and the debate gets steadily less logical and/or civil. But exponentially more entertaining to watch. Well, I guess it's "official" now: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-pornography-found-bin-laden-hideout-officials-162214194.html But, hey, I guess if you were locked away in Pakistan w/his wives (judging from the pics).....porn might seem like an attractive distraction. Religious fanatic terrorists often have copious amounts of porn (rather amusingly, it's mostly Western or messed up Japanese ****). I'm not a psychologist, but I'd wager some serious self-loathing is a not insignificant contributing factor to their habit of blowing themselves up in the name of righteousness.

If you go to the strip clubs at night on a weekend, and it's not Joe McSloppy's you might actually see a few strippers that look pretty dang nice. Don't get me wrong, I know lots of strippers are fugly in broad daylight, but if you go to a better club you'll see better strippers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabretooth Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 It could be an entire political hoax and that bin ladens colleges are saying hes dead so he can lie low "safely" Declaring a cover-up that their leader, icon and messiah is dead and capped shamefully by American elite soldiers in his own home, sounds like beyond shooting oneself in the foot. While in the short term, reprisal attacks are expected from jehadi organisations worldwide, Osama's death is going to significantly demoralise the movement in the long run and the Al Qaeda knows it. Besides, Osama was lying "safely" enough before his demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Pakistan will implode without them / military coup, causing an added headache for India and essentially creating a fresh new Afghanistan scenario.

If it were faked, Osama could just release another tape proving he's alive, and score a big propaganda victory. Getting caught in that lie would kill any chance of Obama getting reelected. Osama was lying low pretty safely anyway, and many thought he was already dead. It wasn't a hoax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverandbacon Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Faking Osama's death would be a very bad idea for any President. The problems with the idea are obvious. Politicians generally make their painfully stupid decisions on issues that are highly divisive, will greatly help their reelection, or both. Faking Osama's death isn't in the interests of either political party, and would be disastrous for a politician's reelection goals if the truth came out (and it would be next to impossible to conceal the truth). Even if Obama was the mental equivalent of a vegetable (which he isn't), one of his advisers would catch the flaws in the plan, and it would be rejected. Also, I think it's a mistake to assume that Obama is stupid. Is he wrong on a number of issues? That's open to opinion (I disagree with him on many issues, agree with him on others). However, he is not a stupid man. If university taught me anything, it's that people can be extraordinarily smart, while also being extraordinarily wrong. He's dead, Jim.

Tommycat Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I for one believe he's dead. If the government claims he's dead, and the military claims he's dead, I believe it. Why? Simple. The military gains only a small bump in "ATTA BOY's" by saying he's gone. It would make more sense to have him dead and pretend he's alive. Maintaining a ruse that he's still alive would actually give them more reason to maintain business as usual and keep funding at current levels. He made an excellent "boogyman" for the government to scare us with. It's too early in the election cycle for it to be for a re-election campaign. Americans are on the whole relatively fickle. A month or so and it's out of the news. A couple months later, and it's nearly forgotten. A whole year and a half and you might as well be talking about 8-track cassettes. Besides, if you want to take some of the credit away from President Obama on this, just understand that it was information gathered from people he told the American people there was no reason to question, in prison camps that he said he would get rid of. That should keep the righties happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNA evidence isn't enough? The word of some of the best warriors America has to offer isn't enough? I cannot comprehend this position at all. If DNA evidence, witnesses, and AQ saying that he's dead isn't enough, then a picture won't be either. If pictures were were released, there would just be cries of how they were photo shopped. And as far as political motivations go, this isn't something that *could* be faked, much less actually pulled off. There are too many parties involved, each of the stories would have to match perfectly. Moreover, something on this scale couldn't just be called a little white lie. Even if you could fake an operation of this size, the dangers far outweigh the benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you could fake an operation of this size, the dangers far outweigh the benefits. To the conspiritorially minded, nothing is impossible. The problem is, though, *pics, or it didn't happen*. If someone believes in the 911 truther stuff, how beyond the pale would this seem. I think enough people have become increasingly disillusioned with lying pols that they want some kind of proof beyond assurances and press releases. As has been pointed out, though, they might not accept such pics as definitive proof anyway. That Eagle won't land either....at least in their eyes.

Working Class Hero Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I think that you guys are missing something: you aren't considering that there are people like me who want to see the pictures and won't immediately cry photoshop. From visual proof, to seeing the effects of war, there are legit reasons to seeing pics like this. Refusing to release them because you're afraid of the reactions of batty people is just catering to fear and hurts those, like me, do want visual proof and are mature enough to handle it. If you don't want to look at pictures of war, fine, but it's offensive to me to restrict other people from seeing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
