Criticism: US-TV Praises Administration's Bin-Laden Raid Just Prior to Elections (Japan News)
Yahoo! Japan (translated to English) ^ | 5 November 2012 | Washington D.C. Jiji Press Bureau

Posted on 11/04/2012 10:38:43 PM PST by AmericanInTokyo

Translation Synopsis:

(Summary from Japanese): "Criticism is coming out over the airing by the US cable TV National Geographic, only two days before the US Presidential election where Obama seeks reelection, a docu-drama about the killing of terrorist Osama bin Laden which puts Mr. Obama in a politically positive light. The criticisms say that essentially the documentary is a propaganda adjunct of the Obama Re-election effort itself.

The 90-minute program was funded and directed by big supporters of Mr. Obama's re-election. In the depiction, actual news footage of President Obama is used, leading to complaints by news media that the documentary is being used for political reasons only."

Anyone who praises the Bin Laden raid has the analytic capacity of a flea.

The one question applicable is: Why dispose of Bin Laden’s alleged body at sea within hours of his alleged death instead of turning over Bin Laden’s remains to our allies ( France, Great Britain) for independent forensic analysis and verification of death?Our allies spent millions pursuing Bin Laden.The reason? It was not Bin Laden.

IMHO the man killed was a stand in double for Bin Laden,a customary, historical Muslim ruse.Bin Laden in all likelihood is in a remote mansion somehwere in the Hindu Kush, kicking back and enjoying the good life from millions given him by oil rich Arab families.It was in all liklihood a huge Obama, Muslim Brotherhood arranged grift.

投票直前の放映に対し、オバマ陣営の選挙運動に参加するに等しいとの批判が出ている。 My Japanese is a bit rusty, but I believe this translates as "He wouldn't let us out of the drawers. Then he came at me with an axe."

so, as you say, anyone who believes that was Bin Laden, shares something with a flea...imo, the body was probably that of his double.

I don,t know if it was fiction or if it was real but either way it smells of hell for a couple of reasons.

Why the sniper when they could have captured him?

Why were they in such a hurry to get rid of the evidence?

If it were the real thing you would think that they would have wanted it verified by other nations, not to mention the American people.

The fact that he was assassinated hints that they did not want him to do any talking.

The disposing of the body so quickly hints that it was not Bin Laden.

I listened to some, and yes propaganda.

Most notably was trying to make it sound as if the terrorist are responsible for the “news” before the attack and the spin of the “news” after the attack.

It's not the terrorist that are orchestrating the news before the attack and following up with the spin of the news after the attack, they don't have the ability, it's the dems in this country that are orchestrating the news before the alack and following up with the spin after the attack.

For example:

With 9/11 you had the orchestrated news story “Bush stole the election”. Notice how it was designed to gin up civil unrest. Same thing has happened with every terrorist attack, including the attack in Libya.

Following the attack you had “Bush knew”.

Put the two together and you have “First Bush steals the election then he allowed the terrorist attack, he's becoming a dictator”.

That's straight from the Weather Underground playbook.

If you are out of power, orchestrate civil unrest, carry out terrorist attacks and claim the govt is becoming a dictatorship.

If you are in power use the same tactic to gain more power.

Notice how silent the left has become about Obama’s seizing more power.

It wasn’t a docu-drama. It was a campaign commercial. Anyone watch it? I sure as hell didn’t.

Here is the bottom line: Obama did not get bin Laden; Seal Team 6 did.

Prior to that it was special operatives who tracked him for years.

So, the background work was not done by Obama. The take-down was not done by Obama.

The only thing Obama did was take credit.

And a fine translation it was. :>)

Moreover, whoever wrote it was fairly balanced. Far more than the American media who wouldn't have questioned the timing and the obvious partisanship.

Nationist Geowhorphic claims that they demanded a sequence that indicated Romney opposed the raid be cut (no joke).

Such an “even handed” information channel. < /sarc >

Nationist Geowhorphic also was outed for photoshopping the Egyptian pyramids on the cover to make them frame up nicer (and I think repeating one zebra several times in an African photo to create a herd).

Then there is the support for the Globalist Warming Scare.
