FAUX NEWS: US could have killed Osama in 2007
"We know, with a 70 percent level of certainty — which is huge in the world of intelligence — that in August of 2007, bin Laden was in a convoy headed south from Tora Bora. We had his butt, on camera, on satellite. We were listening to his conversations. We had the world’s best hunters/killers — Seal Team 6 — nearby. We had the world class Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) coordinating with the CIA and other agencies. We had unmanned drones overhead with missiles on their wings; we had the best Air Force on the planet, begging to drop one on the terrorist. We had him in our sights; we had done it. Nice job again guys — now, pull the damn trigger.'

"Unbelievably, and in my opinion, criminally, we did not kill Usama bin Laden."

7. And what would be the justification for such a murder?
Because he says nasty things about us? Because Bush and Cheney keep telling us that he was behind the 9/11 attacks?

9. I agree
This bloodthirsty gloating over kills or near kills or desired kills is disgusting and barbaric. It is precisely why we are no better than our supposed enemies.

8. But Clinton let him get away!
Cheney needs OBL alive, for the same reason he needs Rove v. Wade to still be in force. A stupid non-issue to get the ignorant hate radio devotees to the polls.

10. Reality
The reality is that Osama bin Laden has the Bushes stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place. He knows too much. He might tell if he was captured. Others might tell if he was killed.

It is important to realize that the agenda of Osama bin Laden allows the agenda of the Bushes to unfold finally. Whatever he does, it furthers acceptance by a blind American public of a war on terror which is merely a war for oil and establishment of an oligarchy which will have absolute power and which will probably see the eugenics envisoned by their patriarch Samuel Bush. We are already seeing the eugenics by war as envisioned by him and John D Rockefeller. Far worse is yet to come.

It is nice to believe that Osama bin Laden is dead and poses no real threat to us but reality is he is very much alive and does pose a real threat to us. But not half the threat that George W Bush does.

Bush will destroy the world if allowed to. In order to rebuild it. His way. He is, again, a spawn from Hell.
