Conspiracy Theory - Osama was really an American Airlines Pilot
Conspiracy Theory Wednesday
Great timing, that’s what I say… at least for me! It couldn’t have been better timing; Thank you President O’Bama! I do worry that a Conspiracy Wednesday will come and go and no new conspiracy theory will crop up. AND then I discovered the Tea Party theories which seem to spring forth like the fountain of youth. AND NOW!!! It couldn’t have been more than a New York minute after the announcement that U.S. forces had conducted a ground attack on a house where Osama Bin Laden was residing/hiding, that the conspiracy theories burst forth.
Where was the body? Why did they drop the body in the ocean? Why doesn’t President O’Bama release the photos? How can we be sure that the DNA is really Bin Laden’s? OMG, it just goes on and on. I’ve saved the best for last; The raid was arranged so as to insure O’Bama’s re-election. Wow, you gotta have a LONG memory from now to the next election day.
So which one should we explore? I don’t know that it makes any difference because those that believe it to be true cannot be confused by the facts. Here are the facts as presented by those that should know and do know as opposed to those who don’t know anything for sure but have no compunction about casting aspersions and veiled falsehoods taking skepticism to art form.
The body of Osama Bin Laden was washed according to Muslim tradition, wrapped in a white sheet, prayers were said, and as Muslims strive to bury the body as quickly as possible after death to avoid embalming, the body was disposed of at sea.
Sounds reasonable to me. I am one of those people who kind of wish we could have seen the body- NOT because I’m into gore, BUT because I knew they would never believe anything that could possibly put our President in a good light. Some of them are claiming the glory of the kill should go to George Bush. And why I might ask? He said he didn’t give OBL much thought and he wasn’t that important after all!!! Oh but then that must mean that Osama was killed after all. Well really you can’t have it both ways.
I hate to give SP any air time at all, so suffice to say she tweeted some disdainful remarks on Twitter. Well what can you expect from such a twit?
Let me end this blog with what I consider to be the quote of the day. It’s from Ari Fleischer, former press secretary for George W. Bush;
“If you doubt he’s dead, no photo will satisfy. For the rest of us, Navy SEALs don’t miss,” Fleischer wrote on Twitter.
Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.
I am totally with you on this, Lori. I’ve had friends who tell me Obama didn’t kill bin Laden, the American troops did. No kidding? I told them Bush didn’t kill Saddam personally. Instead of feeling some sense of relief, they are so upset this was carried out under Obama’s term as president, that they are overlooking what is really at issue. I agree with the photo show. If they are doubting he is really dead, no photo is going to make them believe it. Obama kept himself off TV and executed a plan that worked. Bush was on TV spewing on about Saddam, and that’s who he decided was enemy #1. Now, finding out that bin Laden had been in that compound for 6 yrs, and 3 of those yrs, Bush was in office-well, doesn’t that speak volumes. I never once heard Obama take full credit for this. I did hear him praise the ones who took him out. I don’t get it at all.
Ruby, you are so insightful and wise. We need to spread “the word” because so many others are spreading “the poison”.
Hope your Mother’s Day is delightful!!!!
