Obama Will Not Release Dead Osama Pics

Tyler Durden's picture




And another part of the White House story on bin Laden changes once again, which after promising repeatedly through Panetta to release pictures of a dead bin Laden, has instead decided not to reveal the death pics. We wonder how the administration for which this whole affair is rapidly shifting from a rally around the flag affair to one of losing credibility will then explain the following statement by Leon Panetta: "I don't think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would
be presented to the public. We got bin Laden and I think we have to
reveal to the rest of the world the fact that we were able to get him
and kill him
."

In the meantime, BBC provides the following info on what would have been seen:

Gruesome details of photographs showing Osama bin Laden's corpse have been revealed by US officials.

The pictures of the Qaeda leader reportedly show an open gun shot wound to his head, part of the skull missing and visible brain matter.

One of bin Laden's eyes is reportedly open in the images, while the other is "completely gone".

It comes as the White House and the CIA appear to be at loggerheads over whether to release the graphic pictures.

Senior figures in US President Barack Obama's administration are locked in talks about the publication of a post-mortem photos.

It is believed the President has concerns that producing the most identifiable picture of the terrorist chief could provoke a backlash.

He fears doing so may prompt a similar response to that seen after images of Saddam Hussein's dead sons were published in 2003.

And what was that response: validation of a potential lie, because as we all know the administration never lies? We can't wait for the conspiracy crew to go to town on this one.

It is about time for Donald Trump to demand if not the death cetificate, then at least the death pic, and make the farce complete.

Bin Laden is dead.

Bring home the American Troops and out of harms way.   Bring them home!   No more excuses.  No more spin.   Bring the troops home and out of harms way.   Everything else is garbage and does not mean anything.  Get these people home and with their families.

I agree that Obama should not release the pictures, and I am a proud Republican who hates Obama.

Anyone who is not totally nuts understands that Obama is really dead, and he was shot by US troops in the last week. Whether it was Sunday, Saturday, Tuesday or whatever doesn't matter to me.

Releasing the gory pictures would only appease those who like to look at Faces of Death, and those who think everything is a conspiracy. And besides, those who think Osama died years ago will simply claim the pictures don't prove he was killed in the manner reported by the WH.

I don't think we should be caving in to these two loony groups.

Osama is dead.  No need to see his brains draining down his face.  Let's move on and focus on the real problems facing this country, rather than the "carnival barking."

Let's not forget to add in they also verified his DNA in that time.  There needs to be some serious critical thinking. We've killed several other high ranking officers within Al Qaida and the Taliban.  I'm assuming we dump them in the ocean as well, right?  Pakistan knows you've crossed their border without permission and within 12 hours you're given the okay to take his body out and dump it without some diplomatic debacle over what just happened.  Saddam was known for having several body doubles, but within 12 hours you ahve been able to take a DNA sample, fly it out of the treacherous mountian terrain to a lab in God knows where, and verified as Bin Laden.  Being the world's most wanted terrorist you don't want additional tests like dental or anything.  You just want to fly him and dump his body.  None of the top military brass want to piss on or at least see his body as a reward ofr 10 years of hard work?  I could go on....

 Its interesting that the banking interests had a freindly working relationship with the Natzis all through the war. The BIS transferring the spoils of each country he invaded to Germany's accounts or to the Reichsbank. Swiss banks as well as the BOE, Chase, Barclays, and several other well known banks cooperated with the Natzis. Many of these bankers traveled freely and weren't restricted by the war. Hitler working hand in hand with the bankers, and the bankers enabling the Natzi war machine.

  http://www.thedailybell.com/1327/BIS-Trading-With-the-Enemy-The-Whole-Story.html

   Thomas McKittrick, was the American BIS president from the time of the Czech scandal through the war. The Italian and German governments approved his continuing as president, once saying, "McKittrick's opinions are safely known to us." Apparently, those Axis powers liked what they knew.

In 1940, McKittrick traveled to Berlin, meeting with Kurt von Schroeder of the BIS and the Gestapo to discuss doing business between the U.S. and German if war should erupt between the two countries. (34)

McKittrick was also president when in June of 1940, a Belgian BIS director intercepted $228 million in gold sent by the Belgian government to the Bank of France, and had it shifted to Dakar in North Africa on its way to Reichsbank accounts.

Later, in 1943, he was somehow able to obtain an Italian diplomatic visa, (despite not being Italian or a diplomat, and despite the fact that the government of his country was at war with Italy) and traveled to Rome, Lisbon, then to the United States. After visiting with Leon Fraser of First National Bank of New York and leaders of the Federal Reserve, he traveled back through Berlin, exchanging intelligence with Emil Puhl at the Reichsbank.

 These things are well documented if you look for them. I guess you had a high school education. I try to stick to facts and question what I am told.

In March 1939 the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia. Storm troopers, holding the bankers at gunpoint, ordered them to transfer their nation's national store of gold, which they had placed in a BIS account in the central bank of England, transferred to the Reichsbank account. Jacobson afterward said that the BIS learned only later that this transfer was ordered at gunpoint, but this statement can be disregarded as pro forma. The facts were that the conquest of a small nation by a larger one is historically accompanied by a looting of assets, and Jacobson's added comment that "The Czechs never held this against the BIS" can be taken as far more significant. Losers in a war seldom expect the world to be shocked.

Exactly.  The onus of proof lies with those making the argument that Osama is dead.  They need to explain why they are accepting at face value, a story which not only seems unlikely, but involves a primary threat to US security.  You think you're being told the truth?  Why on Earth would anyone think that?

Is it not abundantly clear to any reader of ZH that deception, spin and propaganda are not only the norm with the U.S. government, but that anything else is exceedingly rare?

The tinfoil hatters are not the ones who think he is alive. They are the ones who think he is dead.  To think that *all the facts* are being presented openly regarding a top secret mission involving the killing or capture of a primary security threat to the United States is nothing short of insane.  The tinfoil hatters are the ones strapping on the feedbag proffered by the news media and refusing to exercise one iota of skepticism -- where it is clearly called for.

The default position of anyone who is educated or serious, is to question every word from our government, and say "prove it".

Anyone who just believes this willy nilly cause gubment said so, only displays their undying faith in government, their statism.  This is the mental disease of people taught from the age of five to salute the flag and believe unquestionly all government propaganda in socialist public schools.  I think sometimes that some people actually like the taste of spoon-fed propaganda.  Reminds them of home, gives them a comforting feeling.

I don't think JSOC, Obama, the CIA or anyone involved cares one way or the other what you or I think as to whether ObL is dead or not.  Those for whom his death is highly significant---family, Ayman al Zawahri, AQAP's al-Awlaki, etc.---know, and that is sufficient.  On top of that, whatever "proof" anyone offered regarding his death would most certainly be claimed by the Internet Gurus to be fabricated, photoshopped, etc.  Thus, in the end, it doesn't matter.

Let's be clear:  In captivity, Osama bin Laden would be the single most important source of terrorism/counter-terrorism information in the world.  

Secondly:  If he were in captivity, it would be very important for three reasons to not let the public know:

    (a)  The value of the information would be greatly decreased if Al Qaeda was aware that it had been compromised.

    (b)  Threats to American security would rise significantly if it were known that bin Laden was captive.

    (c)  The ability to interrogate (ie: torture) Bin Laden would be diminished if international organizations knew that he was captive.

 

Given the extremely good reasons for non-disclosure, and given the grossly inadequate "funeral at sea" story, lack of photos and lack of any supporting evidence of any kind -- one can only assume that Bin Laden is currently in Guantanamo.  He is now "prisoner X", and he is a treasure trove of information.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Osama is in an American gulag.  And it goes without saying, he is never coming out.   Ever.   His last days will be spent breathing water, babbling in drug induced stupor and stumbling in a pen utterly deprived of sleep.  I don't feel pity for the man in the least, but my bet is that he's not dead -- at least not yet.

An interesting theory -- but high walls, barbed wire and no phones describes a whole lot of nice houses in Pakistan.  Landlines aren't as common there.  Most went straight to cellphones.  And high walls covered in spikes are pretty much everywhere.

Bingo.  If he's dead, we've already taken all of the information possible from him...  Further, we've revealed that we have his hard drive...  which means that the information therein is not the least bit valuable or is valuable and awareness of our knowledge thereof cannot materially change its value...

Clearly, this guy was not the least bit concerned he would be killed or apprehended...  or had resided to this fate and capitulated long ago.  Maybe we had to make a deal with pakistan to get them to reveal his location, but regardless, I can't believe this was someone fighting for his life daily worried about black helicopters...

He was worth more dead than alive.  That tells me he had nothing more to reveal, they have been monitoring him for quite some time and his only value was a distraction and a figure head. 

I find it very odd and obvious that obama admin and left wing media is bragging about the "treasure trove" of data.  Why the hell would that be released if they found tons of good info that could be used in more covert ops?

 

I say Osama was rendered useless years ago as an operative and there was no information to glean.  Except what info propaganda obama is going to feed us.

Maybe...  it could also mean that he had harmful information, such as the fact that al qaeda's capabilities are negligible...  or that he didn't have anything to do with 9/11...  the CIA's operations for the drug fields...  or a myriad of others...

I think it's fair to assume that he had nothing more helpful to reveal...  at least to those in the know...

Agreed.  My comments from yesterday...

"Osama worth more alive than dead.  At least he could have been used as a lure to capture other terrorists."

 

Most definitely.  I think it's one of the following four scenarios:

  1. The story is more or less true, only they wanted to take him alive but it didn't work out as planned (most doubtful).
  2. They finally caught up to him, manufactured the death story, and he is at a black site right now getting his nails done.
  3. They've had him for sometime now, have all the intel they're going to get, finally killed him, and staged this as the cover story.
  4. Same as #3, only he's still alive and this was manufactured just to spur additional activity (by either side depending on your conspiratorial views).

One thing I'll add: regardless of which is the truth (even if I don't have it listed above), it seems likely we're about to start some serious shit with Pakistan.

I agree that Panetta was irresponsible.  And Jon Brennon who started the "wife as human shield" rumor (even though if you read the quote he was far from definite about it.)

The White House has an internal discipline problem with loud mouths talking about things they don't know.  (Pretty standard for a Dem administration.)  That's different from a conspiracy.

The media has a problem with now being a bunch of glorified gossip bloggers instead of journalists.

These two facts lead to poorly researched stories being written and the need for corrections.  Unfortunate, but doesn't require a Warren Commission to sort out.

Talk about stupid, that defines the hope and change crowd.

OBL was supposedly in a compound down the street from a police station and major Pakistani military base. Four choppers are sent in and a vicious firefight breaks out for nearly an hour. Not one cop or Pakistani soldier is sent to the compound to investigate.

Obama claims that OBL had to be given a proper burial in order to not offend Muslims. So they dump him out at sea. Muslim scholars speak out and say that is not a proper Muslim burial. Obama then changes the story and says that they didn't want to bury OBL and give a shrine to the terrorists. Why not bury him in an unmarked grave in the desert if they wanted a proper Muslim burial?

In 1998 OBL had kidney failure and requires weekly dialysis at the hospital. Then he survives years living in a cave before moving to a compound in a busy surburb of 140,000 people in Pakistan. Nobody notices the new 6'4 Arab and his entourage in town. Even though there is a $25 million bounty on him when he goes to the hospital for his weekly dialysis and none of the doctors, nurses or other patients are curious..

It's 11PM on Sunday night and a spontaneous crowd of "college students" gathers outside the white house with extra large brand new American flags to celebrate. I guess college students from Georgetown and GW all keep huge American flags in their dorm rooms for such occasions.

Obama states that he chose a risky special ops mission instead of dropping a bomb on the compound because they wanted to prove to the world that they got OBL. They then immediately dump the evidence in the ocean and refuse to release the photos. 

Oh well, if the stories don't add up, just hope and believe in Mein Obama for demonize anyone who dares question the comedy show. You idiots are just as stupid as the fools who believed in the Iraq WMD show.

If he were still alive it would be easy for Bin Ladn to make a new tape talking about current events (like reports of his death) to prove he's still alive.  It would in fact be so easy to refute that the US would never take the chance of reporting his confirmed killing if he wasn't in fact dead.
