Case closed, me thinks.

Look, MTVN, I know in your mind this is credible evidence but it's just not good enough. I'm tempted (though I think I might get into trouble) to get a new user name called Alqaeda and post a thread which "confirms" his death.

Maybe you should examine this quote from the Washington Post dated May 25, 2010.



A credible newspaper reporting that the CIA made a fake bin Laden video tape. Far more credible and worthy of attention than a statement from an internet forum does, me thinks. So you tell me: would a group that faked a bin Laden tape be beneath posting fake internet statments?

Does this have any affect on you? Does that change your standards for evidence in believing bin Laden died in the manner described in any way at all? They're admitting to faking video evidence. I'd wager diamond to dollar that this little bit of information I've just given you, free of charge, is goint to go in one ear and out the other.

To be honest, the credibility of the government is so bad that the only thing that could confirm bin Laden's death is possession of his body and allowing the media to examine it unedited. And they say they ditched the body. Brilliant.

I love how, by thinking you're this enlightened genius, you try and be all condescending but just end up making ridiculous statements and claims. Sure, the statements authenticity is not yet confirmed but it was posted on a jihadist website where Al Qaeda have often released messages. It's just ridiculous for you to say that you creating an Al Qaeda account would be anyway near as credible evidence. I think, if it was a fake statement, Al Qaeda would have already refuted it by now dont you?

That article is just stupid, it reads like it's designed to take the piss, as if any of those vidoes would actually have been made in all seriousness by the CIA. The irnoy is of course, with you conspiracy nuts, is that you criticise others for occasionally believeing what the government says - when there is nothing to prove the contrary - yet you then lap up every absurd theory that comes your way, and start preaching it like it's gospel. I know your a big fan of Ron Paul so hate government and, seemingly by extension, everything that it does or says, but try and be objective for a minute. You'd already decided it was a conspiracy from the moment the news broke.
