Jeremy Scahill Comments on the Death of Osama Bin Laden & the US-led War on Terror (Democracy Now!)

DemocracyNow.org – The manhunt for Osama Bin Laden is over. Nearly 10 years after the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, US forces are said to have assassinated the Saudi-born founder of Al Qaeda inside Pakistan. At the time of his death, Bin Laden was living in a heavily fortified mansion just a mile from the Pakistani Army’s principal military academy. The US operation was reportedly carried out by 25 Navy Seals under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command. It is unclear what role Pakistan played in the killing. For analysis, Democracy Now! interviews Jeremy Scahill, the national security correspondent for The Nation magazine. This clip is part of an hour-long roundtable discussion about Bin Laden’s death and the ongoing war on terrorism.

Osama bin Laden’s Useful Death Paul Craig Roberts www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv May 3, 2011 In a propaganda piece reeking of US Triumphalism, two alleged journalists, Adam Goldman and Chris Brummitt, of the Associated Press or, rather, of the White House Ministry of Truth, write, or copy off a White House or CIA press release that “Osama bin Laden, the terror mastermind killed by Navy SEALs in an intense firefight, was hunted down based on information first gleaned years ago (emphasis added) from detainees at secret CIA prison sites in Eastern Europe, officials disclosed Monday.” “No credible image to show Osama killed by US Special Forces.” How many Americans will notice that the first paragraph of the “report” justifies CIA prisons and torture? Without secret prisons and torture “the terror mastermind” would still be running free, despite having died from renal failure in 2001. How many Americans will have the wits to wonder why the “terror mastermind” who defeated not merely the CIA and the FBI, but all 16 US intelligence agencies along with Israel’s Mossad and the intelligence services of NATO, who defeated NORAD, the National Security Council, the Pentagon and Joint Chiefs of Staff, the US Air Force, and Air Traffic Control, who caused security procedures to fail four times in US airports in one hour on the same day, who caused the state-of-the-art Pentagon air defenses to fail, and who managed to fly three airliners into three buildings with pilots who did

  • Americans’ “football game” war mentality reveals profound ignorance and denial about the real thing. This outlaw government spends hundreds of millions a year churning out false pro-war propaganda. Over six thousand U.S. and allied soldiers and a million innocent civilians have died in the Middle East since 9/11 in wars based on documented lies by our *public servants*. They have inflicted horrific loss and pain on countless people and cost taxpayers $1.2 trillion dollars. Prosecute them NOW!

  • @haitipi funny witch paid poster, all the paid perps who work for the 11 main master occultists/satanists/masons know that who is involved. You are all witches, satanists, occultists, involved in magic tricks of 911. 911 was INSURANCE FRAUD. Real estate, death hoax, stock market and artwork theft/destruction insurance fraud. All that money stolen IN FRAUD. All the LIES of a preplanned demolition of 911, the Egyptian new years. All satanic fraud & you are a major player in fraud, right?

  • @074August

    What? If this were anywhere near the truth, why would a lowly guy or gal like you be one of only a few people aware of this ???

  • @OLDBOY216 Haha Suuuuure.

  • catch the greatest trophy and dump it in the sea
    Nice going

  • As far as Bin Laden being buried at sea, I find that very hard to believe. Since Obama & his administration are all occultists, as BushCheney were, I suspect they divied up his body. Just as the royal divied up Princess Di’s body. She was a royal sacrifice. Watch all Arizona Wilder videos (17). Wilder, a former Illuminati, tells about royal blood sacrifices & who she has seen at blood sacrifices: GHWB George & JEB.

  • Barbara Bush & Ann Cappelletti, 1/2 sisters, illegitimate witch daughters of Aleister Crowley were picked by other repub witches to head the 911 mega ritual. When GWB was appointed Prez. by Scalia, Repubs change the stars in their logos to PENTAGRAMS. Bush being the grandson of Crowley led the 911 mega ritual, 11 yrs or 1 solar cycle, after luciferian GHW Bush announced New World Order on 911 1990 at 9:09 pm. Obama was going for 11:11 but bussed-in paid actors/witches were not in place to chant.

  • 11 master satanists, occultists, masons, kabbalists & witches were each in his/her assigned spots by Strategic Communication Laboratories, London (paid by neocons) on 911 01: Bush, Cheney, Tenet, Ann (GWB’s witch aunt) Cappelletti, Bill Gates, Giuliani, Condi Rice, Schwarzenegger, Silverstein, Soros & Saddam Hussein (not dead hidden) for the MEGA ritual. John & Mike (GWB’s witch cousins) Cappelletti’s demolition company planted nano-thermite in WTC for Silverstein to collect $7.2 bil insurance.

  • @haitipi
    JFK jr, his wife & her sister were all buried at sea. 1st cremated, the ashes are taken out to a boat. From the container in which their ashes are held is exposed to the wind over the boat and allow to be taking out to sea by the wind. That is burial at sea. Bin Laden was a very sick man, who died in 12/01. Bush et al knew he was going to die, that is why they picked him as their PATSY. BushCheney et al imploded the WTC towers. It was a PLAN executed by 11 occutists, a MEGA RITUAL.

  • @haitipi You really shouldn’t believe everything your evil govt. tells you. OBAMA will never be re-elected. He is a liar through and through. Don’t you think it is strange that Obama handlers didn’t know Benazir Bhutto, Musharraf, NY TImes, Fox News, Al Jazeera and more said Bin Laden was dead and the incompetent Obama staff didn’t step it to let the bubble head Obama know the truth. The fact that Obama is such a fool should not tell all, he is worthless. Bin Laden died from Marfan’s Syndrome.

  • @haitipi, Are you an American? Either you are not or your knowledge of current events is VERY BAD. JFK is buried in Arlington Cemetery. Have you ever been to Arlington? There is a eternal flame at his gravesite-tourist attraction. Jackie was buried by her children, Caroline & JFK jr, next to JFK, buried w 2 other children, stillborn unnamed girl & Patrick who lived hours. Military men & spouse are buried at Arlingon.

    Bin Laden died 12/01, READ.

    Bin Laden died in 12/01, was keep in morgue.

  • @074August

    I imagine that JFK was given a sailor’s send off, since he was not only CIC, but a member of the USN. I do know that in the Wars previous, they slid bodies down a plank. That is what they reportedly did with bin Laden. Since it was reported that the body was disposed of within the parameters of Islam, they would not have cremated his body. It was also reported that he was shrouded and weighed down with heavy stones.

  • its all about power 2 control and a little bit of blackmail. acuse someone of something 2 in the end get control of something they have. like maybe oil or rare earth metals.

  • @00iam Al Qaida & Bin Laden are CIA creations, I agree.. The whole creation of Bin Laden was to find an elusive patsy for the MASTER 11 to use as a shield for the WTC implosions. The perps used Beltane–Celtic May Day festival April 29-May 1 as time to eliminate his illusion.

    To ancient Celts, May Day was a time when boundaries between human & supernatural worlds were removed & people needed to take special measures to protect themselves against enchantments.

    someone in this form told me Saddam was a mason. Ididn’t want to believe is because if he was (which he is) then that would mean that the Bulllsh*t that Bush is feeing us about weapons of mass destruction is bull It’s only a cover…

    This WAr is obviuosly personal. I am sooooo disgusted right now. I dare anyone in this form to defend bush now He stole the presidency for a reason now we see what that reason is.

    Each part of the Gulf War was fought on the basis of some U.N. resolution, when Bush called American forces off of Saddam Hussein less than 48 hours before we would have taken Baghdad, Bush defended his action by appealing to the United Nations resolutions which just stipulated that the U.N. was going to free Kuwait. Skull & Bones George Bush let the 33rd Degree Arabian Freemason, Saddam Hussein, off the hook, when American forces could have had him in custody…

    Apparently, many don’t care about the torture of Manning and the other stuff that Obama continues to do. If you dare to say anything, you get labeled as “unpatriotic”. If you publically criticize Israel, you’re “anti-semetic”.

    People will still talk about this. Books, DVD’s and other stuff will come out. However, no one will dare to publically challenge Obama on this.

    Roberts is wrong when he says that it’s only about money. It’s more than that.

    It’s about being the first black President. In 2011, it shouldn’t be. But to many racist neocons, it is.
    Obama still has the “socialist Muslim from Kenya who wants to destroy our country” label.

    This means that he needs something that will give him that “tough” image that is required to be elected.

    One explanation why the story keeps changing and why Bin Laden’s body was dumped at sea could be DNA, or fingerprints. If Bin Laden had a weapon (first version) then forensic tests could have verified this. But if there’s no body, there’s no DNA now. David Hicks’ ‘Guantanamo’ book says Bin Laden moved freely around Afghanistan in 2000-2001 when BLIS had drones and CIA on the ground, and could have killed him anytime — if they wanted to.

  • With all this press, I guess this will be the last time Bin Laden will die!

  • I know why the aliens won’t land.

  • Maybe the video cut off at the crucial time in the raid to give Obama a get out, if the shit hits the fan and all this eventually comes out, the left will be able to sell the 911 conspiracy as an entirely right win so called neo con conspiracy.

    @amilitarymind weel they produced TWO 9-11 movies in no time with what’s his name Kumar highjacker and also one with N.Cage where TWC takes 3 days to fall down. There was courage under fire “cough” J.Lynch”cough”. Would not be surprised Ventura will be involved in “Saving private Laden”

  • I think that contrary to what Alex and his guest think, the Obama administration want to have an excuse to exit out of Pakistan and Afghanistan and Iraq because it’s unsustainable to fund all these occupations. This will also give him a better chance of getting re-elected. The timing of this incident to cover up that other story is too coincidental. What story? Oh yah, Obama’s birth certificate.
