Bin Laden bent on spectacular US attack until the end: files

Hunkered down in his Pakistani compound, Osama bin Laden pleaded with his followers to stay focused on attacking the United States instead of being dragged into Muslim infighting.

Documents declassified on Wednesday shed new light on the mindset of Al-Qaeda's founder, his debates over tactics, his anxiety over Western spying and his fixation with the group's media image.

"The focus should be on killing and fighting the American people and their representatives," Bin Laden wrote in one of the newly revealed documents.

?His death got ossified leadership out of the way and made the Islamofascists more effective.

(Is that what Obama intended?)

Documents declassified on Wednesday. The release came shortly after US journalist Seymour Hersh alleged that Washington's official account of the hunt for Bin Laden and the raid that led to his death was a lie. But CIA spokesman Ryan Trapani said the declassification had been long planned and had not been intended as a response to Hersh's report.

Yeah right. Nothing is a coincidence with this administration. The timing of this release strongly suggests political timing and motives.

Bin Laden was hell bent on destroying America. Now that he is dead, Obama now has the sole responsibility.

A more effective strategy would have been to simply donate his Bin Laden millions to the Democratic Party.

And who knows but what the whole plan succeeded (posthumously for Osama, but maybe not for Obama).

Odd, isn’t it, how those two names, “Obama” and “Osama” conflate so easily? And by no means am I the only one to notice this, as Ted Kennedy had a little trouble keeping them straight.

Yes it is.

With the large scale attacks it takes months even years of planning and preparations.

The longer the planning and preparation the easier it is to pick up on the plot and stop it.

Also in a letter from OBL to Mullah Omar, OBL says the media, meaning the news, is 90% of the preparation for the battle(attack).

The terrorist don’t have the ability to orchestrate a news story and keep the orchestrated news story going for weeks or months on end as part of the preparation for the attacks.

Only the democrats can orchestrate a news story and keep it going for weeks or months.

Knowing that 90% of the preparations for the attack are in the news, find the orchestrated news story and it’s simple to put a name to who it is that orchestrated the news.

This is where the Benghazi “spontaneous” lie came from.

The terrorist simply picked up on a news story, the protest in Egypt, and spontaneously planned the attack.

Right now they are in the process of trying to make people believe the terrorist simply picked up on the dems honoring Peanuts Carter at their convention and planned the attack as a repeat of the Iranians attacking our embassy and taking hostages and it all happened in just a few days.

Obama is a Kenyan version of the name....Osama. So, no conflation about it, just a difference in pronounciation.
