so why use a human shield? did he hold up his empty hands? did he behave like someone not armed? should the seals stop and ask 'excuse us, but do you have a bomb trigger in your palms?"....

I doubt under that pressure and gun fire, that most involved were thinking about anything but preservation , not assassination

whatever, he's dead...

true, and I wonder where his soul is, if he ever repented, will he return to dust, will he suffer a while first, ,,,,,,,but yeah, the MAN is dead,,

I don't believe that Bin Laden confessed to that at all.

The video that people believe was his confession was very effective in diverting media attention away from the deportation of five Israelis who danced as the twin towers burned. They were Israeli Mossad agents.

The video was also inconsistent with other Bin Laden tapes which always mentioned his view about Israel and the Jews.

A German TV show found that the White House's translation of the video was inaccurate and "manipulative". Bin Laden even praised two live 'hijackers' - Wail M. Alshehri and Salem Alhazmi. Why didn't he know the names of hijackers he personally chose?

The quality of the video was very poor and the authenticity of the tape was questioned. This annoyed President Bush.

These are views expressed by Osama Bin Laden:

"This system is totally in control of the American-Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States. It is clear that the American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews and are forced to live according to the principles and laws laid by them. So, the punishment should reach Israel. In fact, it is Israel, which is giving a blood bath to innocent Muslims and the U.S. is not uttering a single word." (public Action)

And:

"We say to the Americans as people and to American mothers, if they cherish their lives and if they cherish their sons, they must elect an American patriotic government that caters to their interests, not the interests of the Jews." [American Free Press]

Clearly Bin Laden's war was mostly with Israel. That is why he was in Pakistan being very well taken care of.

This would explain also why he was made into such an enemy. He spoke too much truth. Early on, just days after it happened, he even had said that it was our own people that were behind 9-11 at all.

To speak out, is to make yourself an enemy of the powers that be.

Great post.

Maybe cos they're all too busy counting their money and laughing at their own victory :/

Congress approved the war but didn't approve an attack on Lybia. Should we arrest Obama?

The so called war on terror made alot of the Bush connections rich. They took the wealth of this nation and gave it to the defence contracters.

Excuse me msharmony, THAT WAS AN ASSASSINATION. They had orders to KILL him. It was just admitted in a news conference on television.

I guess that's better than killing his wife and others in the house by bombing it.

People are so blind with fear and hatred they have no idea what is really going on here.

This is the beginning of the end.

This is a little known thing with our government. You do things they don't like or go against their agenda? You die. JFK is one example among others.

They did? Really? Do you know that some were pressured? They were told the there were weapons of mass destruction, a lie. The invasion of Irac was illegal.

Hey, you can arrest Obama if you think you have the authority.

Hell yes they were lied to so were we. I suppose the greatest crime of congress was to believe the president and his council.

Guess they'll be killing me. I can't even get out of bed and make a hot drink, without getting permission from the damn government.

you said he DIDN'T have congressional approval... now your saying they were pressured...maybe you should make up your mind on what misinformation you want to spread... but it is ok to prosecute bush, when he had congressional approval, but it is ok when barry does it?
you say your not a lib, but that is the most libbish thing you've said yet...

The people in high political office and high ranking military are purposely compromised, bribed, blackmailed, threatened and controlled by zionist supporters and the wealthy men who have a stranglehold on this country and a lot of the world. I fear this is the beginning of the new world order when our country can invade any country they want, and assassinate people and then pat themselves on the back and brag about it. It makes me very sad.

Congress did not give them approval until they were lied to and pressured so as far as that is concerned he did not have permission. It was totally illegal.

Bush Exceeded the Authority of HJR114

In October 2002, Congress passed House Joint Resolution 114, which gave Bush limited authority relating to Iraq. Here is a complete text of the bill.

http://www.impeachbush.tv/archives/bill_hjres114.pdf

HJR114 has been described as legal justification for Bush's invasion of Iraq but that is not the case.

HJR114 authorized Bush to use military force against Iraq "as he determines to be necessary and appropriate" but required that he meet certain conditions. Bush did not meet these conditions. In addition the entire resolution should be rejected because Congress was misled into signing it in the first place.

we all live in different realities.... i guess it is to bad for you that people that know the law don't agree with you

they were closer to putting clinton in jail for lying then bush ever was...imagine that, another lying lib...

Basic Assumptions were Flawed

HJR114 begins with a series of "whereas" clauses. These give the reasons that Congress signed the resolution. Unfortunately, the most critical of these "whereas" clauses are based on fraudulent misrepresentations by Bush and Cheney.

Whereas Iraq both poses a continuing threat to the national security of the United States and international peace and security in the Persian Gulf region and remains in material and unacceptable breach of its international obligations by, among other things, continuing to possess and develop a significant chemical and biological weapons capability, actively seeking a nuclear weapons capability, and supporting and harboring terrorist organizations;

We now know that Iraq did not have WMD and was not seeking nuclear capabilities. Bush knew this at the time and deliberately misled Congress about the threat from Iraq.

Whereas members of al Qaida, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq;

Bush and Cheney tried very hard to connect Iraq with 9/11 and Al Qaeda but there was simply no credible evidence. "Today's reports show that the administration's repeated allegations of a past, present and future relationship between al Qaeda and Iraq were wrong and intended to exploit the deep sense of insecurity among Americans in the immediate aftermath of the September 11th attacks," said Sen. John Rockefeller of West Virginia, the panel's ranking Democrat. [ABC]

Congress did not have access to the same information that Bush had. If they had then it is unlikely that they would have signed HJR114. It is called fraud in the inducement "if the party signing the document knew what he or she was signing, but relied on misrepresentations when induced to sign it."

Basically Bush tricked Congress into signing HJR114 by fraudulent means which negated his authority to invade Iraq.
