Shifting US story (on Bin Laden kill) invites disbelief
The Australian ^ | May 6, 2011 | Greg Sheridan

IT just doesn't add up.

The official American explanation for the operation against Osama bin Laden keeps changing every day. But at every point it requires such a leap of faith into the extraordinarily unlikely that it has a disturbing ring of contrivance about it.

There is no doubt the Americans conducted an operation and killed bin Laden on Monday, but the surrounding detail and overall narrative is difficult to swallow.

To understand the truth of any situation simply take what comes out of the mouth of a Republicrat/Dumbocan or a Corporate Media talking-head and reverse its meaning 180 degrees. Their actions and agenda are such an anathema to the average citizen that they have to lie completely and instinctively just keep people from rioting in the streets.

I’m fine with knowing bin Laden is dead and watching the Obama administration flail around with never-ending and contradictory accounts of what really happened at ‘Chez bin Laden’. Their inherent mendacity is hurting them, as it should, because its becoming blatantly obvious that even with good news, (a) Obama has to be the focal point and, (b) they can’t tell a straight story. The inclination to lie is irresistible to the Obama crowd. Ergo, they look like fools. I love it!

With all these theories, a good one might be that this is an obama RE-ELECTION ploy. Imagine this:

Everyone knew where OBL was, but they left him alone as it was easy to monitor him there and see who came and went, etc. That explains why Pakistan didn't out him.

Obama knew all this, but saw a bigger personal advantage in killing OBL and taking full credit for the decision himself, which HE DID!

The Paks knew that we knew and that we knew that they knew etc., so ergo, the HUGE SURPRISE when OBL is snuffed.

The Paks don't know whether they are afoot or on horseback. Neither do we...

I think that picture is fake.

Nobody at the WH would ever log on to Free Republic.

Their heads would explode.

The (supposed) coincidence of Obama releasing his Birth Certificate, out of the clear blue sky, and then “getting” OBL just a few days later is, IMHO, the Rosetta Stone to unraveling Obama’s little scheme and his motives.

I was stunned when I saw who was in that picture, and then had a good chuckle. :-)

Our intelligence people have known for several months where bin laden was. So did Obama.

But no immediate action was taken. Suspicious since it was likely that he was tied into Pakistani intelligence, and would bolt at first suspicion of pending action against him.

Something happened to make action necessary after a lot of delay..... bin laden movement?...Pakistani intelligence about to stop the CIA observation post activity.... media leak?

Had it leaked that his whereabouts was known, and that no one in the administration would act, the public outcry would have been devastating.

They had to take action. Obama took too long. They probably had to order a hit on bin laden without Obama's approval because of his dithering.

That is why he went to play golf. Plausible deniability if the action went wrong.

Or maybe, just maybe he did not know until the action had been initiated.

Yup. The government presented the mental image that Bin Laden had fetched his wife and was holding her in front of him by force. But he was shot in the head while in bed, apparently.

Outlaw American visits to golf courses and other entertainment in Pahkeestahn. That would help to fix the problem. Divert the morons to play in India, instead.

BTW, it was reminiscent, in some ways, of the big Jessica Lynch production in Eerawk (er, Iraq).
