margrace Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 Scott, I happened across a quote that I'm finding rings very true on these pages. It's by George Jonas at the bottom of my posts. What do you think? How about "There are none so blind as he who will not see" Quote
Drea Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) I like this one -- "It's never too late to give up your prejudices". So very true for today when the propaganda machine is operating at capacity. It is never too late to read, analyze and THINK for yourself. It is never too late to turn off the propaganda. It is never too late to be a real human being. It is never too late to stop blaming everything on an "enemy'' you know nothing about. It is never too late to look the other person in the eye and apologize for being an ass. It is never too late! Edited August 7, 2007 by Drea Quote ...jealous much? Booga Booga! Hee Hee Hee

ScottSA Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 ScottSA - I would recommend that you and I no longer address one another and if we find ourselves posting on the same thread please attempt to keep your rebuttles on topic and not the character of the poster. I recommend that you start posting like an adult instead of "LOL" some valley "LOL" girl in a chatroom "LOL!" And I mean that in some seriousness, since your flippant and unsubstantiated claims, coupled with your vacuous gagmewithaspoonisms, amount to jamming. By the way, what's a "rebuttle?" Quote

GostHacked Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 But we do have many conflicting reports when it comes to Osama bin Laden. Is he dead? Is he alive? Some reports show us he died in 2001. Some say he died in 2004. So do we really know for sure? If he is dead, that is not known worldwide. Much can be gain by saying the boogieman is still alive and wants to hurt us at any time. If he is dead, another one can be created to take his place. With the pace at which the US is taking out top level Al-Queda operatives, it really could not be far off until they get Osama. Osama does/did need dialysis often enough that he probably has a medical team with him. A small one at that since he travels light and mostly unannounced. If he is dead, who can the powers that be, be made to be the next boogieman? So, if he is dead... how can that play out globaly with respect to the attitude towards the war on terror. If he is alive.... why the hell is he not dead yet? Quote

If he is alive.... why the hell is he not dead yet? So many good questions. Is he dead? -Voice last picked up 2001 in Tora Bora, as reported by pentagon. (The US extensively monitored OBL) -Numerous reports of his death around the Dec.2001 period inc. an obituary. -No new tapes from Binladen (except apparently ones that can't be verified, are audio only and this latest, which is old footage, unless OBL has found the fountain of youth(lol)) -OBL was a man in poor health, walked with a cane and required dialysis, even prior to 9/11. -Last linked visavis actual evidence to a crime committed nearly 20 yrs ago -Is not wanted in connection with 9/11 -suspect tape that links 9/11 to Osama , which is interesting to note that the FBI, doesn't even buy into this crock of baloney tape, as to this day, Osama is still not wanted for 9/11, despite his "confession" tape, which one would think would be good enough?? It seems to be known in the Muslim world that he is dead, Karzai, Mushareff, even Bush and Rumsfeld, don't seem to give him much thought. Do they know he is dead, that's why they don't worry about him?( They would certainly be privy to that type of info) Then we have to think of Osama the CIA agent, Osama who was in Kosovo,( inc. issued a passport) fighting along side the troops , armed and supplied by America/NATO. Osama who fought at the behest of the US , against Russia, in Afghanistan. Osama was quite the right hand man of the US. If he is alive, why isn't he dead? That isn't really plausible that he is alive, With the technology available, if this man made a phone call , (landline, cell or satellite phone, sent a fax, an e-mail) anywhere in the world it would be picked up. http://www.fas.org/irp/program/process/echelon.htm Echelon would take care of that. For one! Osama's voice would be able to be picked, as his voice has been extensively recorded.(apparently it is quite distinct, plus the keywords he would be using!) I am , in the "he is dead" camp myself. Dead but still useful!!!! If he is alive, he is alive? (how the hell is that possible) At the will of , and with the blessing of the US, that is the only possible reason for him to still be alive Quote Insults are the ammunition of the unintelligent - do not use them.

ScottSA Posted August 8, 2007 Report Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) Dead but still useful!!!! You lefties keep harping on this "useful" line, but it's really just trying to jam the facts into some cockamamy theory you have about the WoT being some big plot. Bush long long ago said that the WoT will not end with OBL's death, and the administration has repeatedly re-enforced this. At no time has OBL been used as a "booga booga," as one of our less illustrious posters has said. Has he been demonized by the press? Sure. Used by various factions as a figurehead? Absolutely. But he is certainly not "useful," nor is he being "used" by the admin to make up the WoT. Islam and its tens or hundreds of killings a day are quite capable of scaring most sane people all by themselves. Edited August 8, 2007 by ScottSA Quote
kimmy Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 Certain types of people like to talk about the "fake Osama!" video. They like to "prove" that it's fake by posting the same collection of screen-captures that they say show it is obviously not the same guy. "A fat black guy," as one buffoon described it before his death in a tragic collision with the Ban Van. However, anybody with an IQ over about, probably 60 or so, who looks at their collection of "photographic proof" of the "fake Bin Laden" in the tape, will notice that these screen-captures are of amazingly low quality. They are low-quality Jpeg screen-captures of a low-quality Youtube video which was badly vidcapped from a low-quality VCR recording. Higher-quality video captures of the video are available; I found them myself on a "Truthie" website where the author combs through the video frame-by-frame looking for inconsistencies. When compared to these better-quality video captures, two things immediately become obvious about the ones Truthies prefer to talk about: -edges have been blurred, either on purpose or through incompetence. -contrast level has been changed, either on purpose or through incompetence. Highlights have been made more visible; dark colors have become darker. The higher-quality video captures make it clear that the low-quality video captures the Truthies like to show have been simply put, altered. Whether they've been altered intentionally for dishonest purposes, or whether they've been altered through sheer incompetence, the one simple unavoidable conclusion is that they've been altered. Not real. Fake. You can't use fake evidence to prove *anything*. Now, one can certainly still doubt whether the video is authentic... but the "fat black guy" stuff is just an utter lie. And, while the Truthies love to talk about the 2001 Osama video, they seem to seldom mention the 2004 Osama video. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Osama_bin_Laden_video ...the one that was authenticated and broadcast by Al Jazeera, not US networks. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ノ(° -°ノ)

But then I have an above average IQ! re:2004 tape , Kimmy, who verified it? was it done independently? or by the people who brought us the phony Iraq intel?

The confession to a crime, along with substantiating evidence, hmmm, sounds like a conviction to me. Confessions are useful for convictions in numerous courts, particularly if they can be bolstered, which according to the official story, along with the confession tapes, one would think that would be enough for the FBI, to have enough evidence, to put Osama's crime of 9/11 on the most wanted list. Oh yes there is a contradiction, read what I said, not what you think is there, which is a huge problem, IMO. I said "wrt the 2001 tape which was told to us was the first admission by OBL of a connection to 9/11" though he did not name specifics, he certainly gave away enough to make the point did he not? Certainly enough for the Bush regime to promote it as such, and people to believe it as such. So again, which was the first admission tape kimmy? 01 or 04?? specific or vague, they both made the connections. Who verified the tapes?

kuzadd Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 So, in summary kimmy's "appeal to authority" is all it takes.

Therefore they are real, because the Bush regime say's so, and they were "authenticated" by underlings of the Bush regime. Well that's enough for me, I am a convert! NOT! lol!

Mohammed's confession was read by a member of the U.S. military who is serving as his personal representative. Answer me this. If you look on the FBI's most wanted list, and in regards to 9/11. The site will plainly show (unless the FBI incompetent at updating simple websites) that Osama has no link to 9/11. This KSM dude admitted to it, also because he was the mastermind of the 1993 WTC truck bomb attack. How does all this get pinned on Osama?? If the FBI does not clearly show Osama is part of 9/11 then what is Osama really wanted for?? Now just don't discard this and say I need to be put into a straight jacket for my BSD (Bush Derrangement Syndrome). If the FBI site is the truth, then Osama is not part of 9/11 and all reports since then about Osama are false. If the FBI site is lying, then major news media is telling the truth. Even at that point Bush would be telling the truth. http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/laden.htm http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/laden.pdf UPDATED NOVEMBER 2001 So really , ask yourself these questions. Is the FBI just lazy in not telling us why he is really wanted for?

KSM masterminded 9/11, but not on the FBI most wanted list. OBL is NOT the mastermind behind 9/11 but is wanted by the FBI for OTHER terror attacks. Does this confuse anyone else??

Must bean something, right? Maybe the FBI is sending their own little "Truthout!" via the Most Wanted List? Maybe they're rebels? Whistleblowers? A little research (very little research, in fact) uncovers the fact that the FBI "Most Wanted" list only if they have been charged by a prosecutor or indicted by a Grand Jury. 9/11 is not mentioned in charges against OBL on the Most Wanted list because he has never been formally charged with 9/11. "oooh, ooh," I hear you say. "Surely it must mean something that no prosecutor or grand jury has charged or indicted OBL." Maybe, maybe not. Maybe they don't have enough evidence that that he was personally involved, or maybe they're saving it for when he's actually apprehended, or maybe there are specific reasons that he has not been charged. Does it matter? Only kooks dispute that Al Qaeda was behind 9/11, and OBL is (was?) the founder, leader, and figurehead of Al Qaeda. Nor was the invasion of Afghanistan specifically to apprehend OBL. It was undertaken to attack Al Qaeda. KSM is not even on the FBI's most wanted list.KSM masterminded 9/11, but not on the FBI most wanted list. The "Most wanted list" is for fugitives. Since KSM has been imprisoned in "Gitmo" for four years, I don't think he qualifies. OBL is NOT the mastermind behind 9/11 but is wanted by the FBI for OTHER terror attacks. Correct.

Al Jazeera isn't a red herring, for two reasons: * They wouldn't have broadcast the tape if they didn't believe it was authentic. * While truthies like to claim that US media are government puppets, they have a harder time saying that about Al Jazeera. So there you go. I think the Arab world's leading media voice is a more credible judge of the tape's authenticity that you are. Any good reason why I should take your word for it (or some half-baked conspiracy website's word for it) over the Arab world's top media outlet? -k Edited August 10, 2007 by kimmy Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ノ(° -°ノ)

It's still bogus. It's irrelevant who plays the tape, the only relevant point is wether the tape is authentic or not. AlJazeera may have assumed it was credible, but that still didn't necessarily make it so. Did Aljazeera have it authenticated or did they take the word of someone? If so who? The US intelligence authentication process? Did they have it independently authenticated? How did Aljazeera get the tape? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6363306/#storyContinued “We received it in Pakistan. ... Somebody dropped it yesterday at the gate,” Zaidan told The Associated Press. “The guard brought it to me along with other mail. It was in an envelope, I opened it and it was a big scoop.” Zaidan said he immediately transmitted the tape to Al-Jazeera’s headquarters in the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar." Who dropped the tape off? "Someone" was that "someone" verified? That someone could have been, anyone, who was it? of course it was a scoop, and Al Jazeera ran with it, what media wouldn't, it's totally sensational! Ups the ratings! Ensuring higher rates for advertising. You see Aljazeera regardless of where it is based, is there to make money, same as any western media outlet. It's interesting that you would think it would work any other way? it still doesn't make the tape authentic, does it Kimmy? no, it doesn't. that said: I notice as always Kimmy you, resort to smear, and that shows , as always "kimmy's weakness" I am sorry , I missed the "half-baked conspiracy website" that kimmy was referring to ? In which post of MINE was that? It was in NONE, yet, you fall into the tactic of name calling and demonization. When I see that, I see, weakness. Since that is exactly what that indicates. Edited August 10, 2007 by kuzadd Quote Insults are the ammunition of the unintelligent - do not use them. It is okay to criticize a policy, decision, action or comment. Such criticism is part of healthy debate. It is not okay to criticize a person's character or directly insult them, regardless of their position or actions. Derogatory terms such as "loser", "idiot", etc are not permitted unless the context clearly implies that it is not serious. Rule of thumb: Play the ball, not the person (i.e. tackle the argument, not the person making it).
