... I can't believe I read this thread :(

lol. all i'm going to say is that there are people who believe the idea of a round earth is a large conspiracy.

but i'm also going to add that in my opinion literally anything is possible.

but since you should probably believe *something* probably better to believe that which is... well.. believable.

If you were going to fabricate evidence and lie about something like this, wouldn't you get your story straight beforehand so as to avoid exactly this?
This whole situation sounds a lot more like government incompetence than government coverup. Once again people are forgetting the maxim "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity or incompetence."

I agree with Sayjo. Reading this thread made me depressed. :(

Alright I have a solution to this problem, I'll be posting a thread about it in a bit.

I'm more or less convinced that OBL was killed by Navy SEALs last Sunday. But I see no reason or need to mock those who believe otherwise. Before the story broke, I was fairly certain OBL was already dead - so, I think, did most other people. Given the frequency and seriousness of lies our government tells us, only a fool would take what they say at face value. Add to this the constantly changing story and the refusal to release the most basic evidence, and I think skepticism is well justified.

Obviously Bin Ladin was killed by Al Qaeda's chief assassin, Prince Philip, after he refused to disprove rumours that he was born in Hawaii and thus ineligible to lead an anti-western terrorist organisation. The big danger now, of course, is if Al Qaeda under its new leadership allies itself with North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, and the Lizard Men to form a coalition strong enough to capture CERN and manufacture enough kryptonite to defeat Obama once and for all.

None of this would have happened, of course, if it wasn't for Nick Clegg giving in to the Tories. Damn you, sir! You've doomed us all!

Well, its fairly obvious that Osama is dead. It's also obvious the US government wants to cover something up. There are three possible reasons, in order of most plausible to least.

-The way he was killed was not the "heroic raid" they claim it to be and/or he was tortured for information before his death. (Most likely scenario)

-He was killed some time ago by somebody other than the US governement, and US informants recently confirmed that or a US agent found his decaying body. Thus, USA decides to take the credit to make the war on terror seem successful.

-Osama was never actually involved in terrorism, and all his videos were the production of the US government. The government decided to "kill him off" in order to either say they are done in the middle-east, or to say they need to strike harder now more than ever to finish it off. (I understand this one is totally ridiculous)
