Documents in bin Laden compound discuss attacking Obama
Documents recovered from Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan show that al Qaeda spoke of attacking President Barack Obama and Gen. David Petraeus, a source familiar with the materials recovered from the compound said Friday.
The documents refer to an attack that would destroy the aircraft carrying Obama and Petraeus in the region, the source said, referring to the Afghanistan, Pakistan area.
The documents also referred in a more general way to a desire by al Qaeda to attack the president and Petraeus, who was will be departing soon as the U.S. military commander in Afghanistan.
A U.S. official, who was not authorized to speak on the record, described the Bin Laden documents as "him in his brainstorming mode ... hey, I have an idea, what if we did this."
U.S. forces killed bin Laden during a raid on May 2. They recovered documents and other material during the raid.
Petraeus declined to comment, a spokesman said Friday.
Another U.S. official said the documents showed bin Laden was interested in attacking the United States on the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. According to that official, bin Laden wrote about "identifying a team of operatives to attack the homeland." But the official said there was nothing specific and "it's unclear his discussions about those operatives were more than discussion."
The first official said overall, the documents indicate "these were ideas, not fully or even partially planned plots."
Other materials taken from Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan have confirmed that the al Qaeda leader communicated with the Yemen-based group al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, according to a third U.S. official, familiar with the ongoing U.S. analysis of the documents.
The search through bin Laden's materials has also found direct evidence that while in hiding in Pakistan, bin Laden was encouraging direct plots to attack Americans and U.S. interests in Europe late last year, according to the U.S. official.
There were several threats at the time that led the United States to issue an October 2010 alert for Americans traveling in Europe, the source emphasized.
Bin Laden was "aware, supportive and trying to motivate his operatives in Europe. He was pushing them," the source said.
The U.S. intelligence community had classified information at the time suggesting that bin Laden was involved, the U.S. official said, but the documents taken from the compound have provided confirmation. Officials have previously said bin Laden always placed a top priority on trying to attack Americans.

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

Thanks for any other informative blog. Where else may just I am getting that type of information written in such a perfect manner? I have a mission that I am simply now operating on, and I have been on the glance out for such information.
For most men the need to possess a stunning small woman in their particular facet is very interesting and lots of ruskies, Ukrainian girls find an old spouse. This informative article looks at some of ...Russian woman for marriage
Well they sure weren't going to find his Christmas card.
OH ! One more thing all you radical tea party / GOP / anti abortion / holly rollers pushing your christian agenda on the entire country just like brainwashed fools! You are no better than the two right wing extreamist muslims that I shot and killed yesterday!!! Yeah just another day in paradise!!! Lots of love from Kandahar xoxo
Another lying sack of sh*t lacking in basic life skills pretending to be someone they aren't. Go back to your latest PS3 game and leave the adults on this site alone
Bruce,,,The Ranger is right,,,,,,You're about as tough as your heroes: 5 deferment Dick, AWOL Dumbya, and 4-F (I'm too afraid to go to Nam) Limpballs......
the only reason you say what you say is because you feel your anonymous when in fact your comments are ego narcissistic in nature and because you are unhappy with your own life. Stop embarrassing Americans on this public website.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND SAYS.All you idiots go back to watching fox news.Because you dont know doodly squat about shit over here.But thanks for exercising your fist amendment rights that we all provide.Oh and your welcome enjoy now yall.
CNN please take down this posting ability from your website. On the internet people think they are anonymous and can say whatever they want which promotes this narcissistic ego driven behavior not understanding the damage what they write can do or how stupid they look especially since they are so far away from the subject they are writing about with such authority. I'm embarrassed that some of the people posting here are from America. They are abusing their freedom of speech. Please disable the posting feature.
i like how someone is always talking about the freedom and rights that they provide for us. Last time i looked our freedom and rights have been ours ever since we rid this country of the indian that did not meet our standards, had a civil war and called our selves the greatest country in the world. And sence that day we mettel in every other countrys business which in turn brings hate to our country. But we justify war, many of which our own actions have brought upon, to say we are protecting every americans rights and freedom. The books may be wrong but i think they said japan was the only country to invade us so to speak by killing our forces.
One more thing, if you wish to protect us, fine, protect us from our own government that promotes the rich, from the rich that take our jobs and send them to countries that do slave labor, and from every person in this country that only think of the people they see in the mirror. Maybe if you unite the people as one we might have a country worth bragging about instead of making notches for every country we take down.
That is good news that thery the navy seals assinated osama bin laden in his compound. However we still provide monies to pakistan and they knew that he was right there. a man like Osama bin Laden you just just cannot hide in plain site of the public. Pakistan security forces knew that he was there. We should pay more attention to those now.
i saw the paper, right next to the ones of the WMD'S AND MASS GRAVES that bush told us were there.
You were never in Iraq, talking $hit, useless comment. If you think the world was a better place Saddam and O may the next attack affect you, then you will believe these people are out to kill for what ever reason.
maybe bush should not of agreed to the fact he lied then after he was on a talk show when he was out of office. Since 9/11 there have been countless documentaries that showed it was the us that started these wars in the first place. Get your facts right or get glasses.
This war is ideological and Islam is the root of the problem. Muslim clerics (ayatollahs, mullahs, sheiks, muftis, ullemas, imans, etc) are the puppets to brainwash people's minds and transform them into irrational beasts, intolerant, full of hatred, violence, vengeance, discrimination without common sense and basic universal ethical and moral standards.
Strategies to combat this trend is to force and impose a complete religious freedom among Muslim societies without the social and culture stigmas. Counteract Islam with traditional Middle Eastern Christian Faiths who had survived the continuous struggle to abolish them from Muslim countries.
um, you are talking about right wing Christians, correct?
I need a break from my laughter. You want to replace Islam by Christianity ? What's the difference ? Have you noticed the movement of extreme right wing radicals lately ? this crazy guy in Norway ? Radical religions are all dangerous. When people will learn to accept others difference and views, then we will have a chance at peace. No organized religion would even be better since the problems of society go way back to religious differences. Can't we be spiritual without religion ? you bet but you have to grow brains first. People have been brainwashed since childhood and it is difficult to get past that.
Can't we all just get along. life is to short. may peace reign all over this world.
It would be lovely.
So I see that the GOP, FOX NEWS, and Osama Bin Laden all have something in common: Get Obama!!
The GOP must have got that memo from Bin Laden as that seems to be what they do best right now!!
ROTFL..
Who really knows who will get who. Who is who in this world. Only thing for sure is that one day, we will die. By who or what ....who knows???? Bot dae boc coo...no kae nae na choo...O dole lae key ma!!
Fox News....balh blah blah.....GOP.......BLAH BLAH BLAH. Shut up and go eat some ravioli.
You don't really view FOX News, do you?
Attack Obama? Gee, I didn't know Bin Laden was just another pig Republican! Must have been one of those Tea Party nutjobs all along.
Little did Osama know that documents in the Obama compound called for dumping his corpse in the ocean ASAP.
The Lord said that vengeance is His but I was so glad that God has his vengeance. I take to joy in the lost of life because I have no heaven nor a hell to put people in. But I think God definitely got this one right this time. God bless the united states of america
"God" didn't kill him...THE SEALS DID. Give credit where credit it due.
Great... Another nut job dragging the United States into the dark ages.
Bin Laden wasn't killed by any fairytale non-existent "god", he was killed by a group of brave SEALs ...it sure would be nice if y'all would stop injecting your religious nonsense into the real world.
God directs mens paths you atheistic fool now husg up.
God directs mens paths you atheistic fool now hush up.
@Cards4Fun – so God is responsible for 9/11?
The death of osama does not make any difference to the groups intentions. I think the ideology is out there and that can not be beaten with superior weapons but it can be with superior minds.
I think we should reitterate to the credit system soon and finally we can cut off their financial support. That should rule to any nato country to combat terrorism.
Bin Laden's money came mainly from Saudi which is rich from the oil the world buys from them...us, Russia, Europe, etc...I guess the people that supported him did not get money from the US. We used to pay him when he was a mujahadin working for the US in Afghanistan, keeping the Russians from invading but that dried up when the Russians pulled out and the cold war ended. He was out of a mission so he turned against us instead. Tricky when people start killing. They can't stop.

What does this have to do with a murdering scum planning to do more murdering? We all know what religion Bin Laden was. We all know he claimed to act in the name of his religion.
Typical behavior. Change the subject.
The muslims serve their master well. Porky, the Pig God, blesses them with the right to kill others as they are killed to make bacon and his prophet is a pig f***er.
May the pig of paradise fly up your nose
if u wanna talk about the right to kill.. what are the americans doing at iraq and isreali at palestine? do u have any idea how many innocent families and kids has been killed by american and isreali troops? religion or no religion... we both have brains and it is just illogical =/
And what about the Turks and the PKK, Armenians, Germans, etc. you can go on with this, what seems illogical- but instead of throwing out a couple meaningless statements, what do you propose Israel do? And we should not have gone into Iraq? Do the Kurds deserve their own country? Politics are complicated, what was the point of writing that?
hahhahhhahaaaaaaaaa...... you are crazy.
you see.. what im talking about here is humanity and respect to different religions, as a reply to 'WWSD'... muslims are asked to and believe in respecting christians and jews and other religions believing in god.. we also believe that we have no right to decide on who gets the right to live.. we leave such matters in the hand of god.. we are only allowed to declare war as defence or as a way to protect our rights.. regardless, we never can have the right to kill innocent families.. we only have the right to declare war against the men who choose to go out to fight ( the army)...
true muslims are against extremists and I personally dont believe that what osama bin laden did was right.. What bothers me is that a lot of people in the USA and other countries recieve faulty information about muslims and other religions and are not educated enough and then they go out and start insulting religions that they know nothing about =/
This is what happens when the oppressive USA government interferes in the religious and political issues of other countries. The USA makes friends one day with countries, gives them money as long as they will abide by the dictates and goals of the USA. As soon as the countries do not want to be under the domination of the USA they are then considered the enemy. Of course, other subgroups within countries develop since it would be too dangerous for a smaller country to defy the USA by itself. These subgroups without alliegiance to any country then unite to oppose the political action of the USA. The USA then gets involved in wars in order to subjugate and dominate other countries. These wars then play into the internal dynamics and economics of the USA. When the wars develop the companies that manufacture war equipment and supplies make money. The military then needs to pratice with the weapons. War is declared. When there is a recession the president can then say that he cured the recession, however, the president will not say that it was done through having lost many American lives and incdreasing military spending while bankrupting the country. This time the USA will not recover. The recession is still here after all these years. The wars have been going on for years. The government now has the problem of what to do if all of the troops would be brought back. This would be the worst depression the USA ever experienced. Most likely that would lead to the worse internal revolution the USA ever saw.
some of your points actually make sense, but you lost me on the whole create war for money/financial gain... george w. bush wanted to test his military... perhaps.. under the mask of terrorism... "some one has to pay" idealism but to state that the past ten years have been some terribly gone-wrong plan to stabalize our economy, you are clearly some kind of conspiracy theorist.... i think the only succesful mending of the US and hateful anti-american establishments would be for the united states to completly pull out of all us-military involvment.. this doesn't mean just to remove ourselves from warzones alone, this also includes a mind set of re-building and remaking the american landscape... and what better, more capable force, than returning military veterans.... this is the 21st century... isn't it time to build futures
I am a conspiracy theorist. I conspire to prove you are NUTS!
Of course, the USA can destroy the rest of the world and itself until all other countries align against the USA
you sounds like a fun guy illuminati... the best answer is to just stoke the fire isn't it? are you sure only the US is to blame or is it just hate that fuels your fire? of what view point do you take? i merely seek solutions... not reasons to wage war... cant the us fix itself and can't the middle east try and fix themselves... why so hateful?
You are too dense to explain reality to you.
I will just make it simple. Burn baby burn
The USA is the EVIL EMPIRE
what is your reality? you seem like the hateful one... you've offered nothing positive, you are much like the US you hate so much, only spitting out more hateful thoughts for things you claim to be an expert on, im not for anyone religion or government.. our country has many flaws... and you, the great illuminati offer... "burn baby burn" ??? you are no better than the rest of the hateful people you seem to know so much about... and when I point the finger at myself, three of those fingers point at you... try it
"This is what happens when the oppressive USA government interferes in the religious and political issues of other countries."
All powerful countries interfere in the matters of other countries. That's the way human society has always worked.
The question is, how MUCH can you do it before overstepping your bounds and hurting yourself.
And the USA isn't the only one interfering. Pakistan wants to be a regional power, so it too interferes with surrounding countries, like Afghanistan.
Military Industrial complex lost its best friend when the Soviet Union collapsed.
How do you start a war without an enemy ?
AAaahhhh......manufacture one.
After 911 happened The Bush administration blamed Bin Laden.
The Truth :
Unical (an oil company) wanted a pipeline for gas and oil from Uzbekistan to Afghanistan into Pakistan (to the coast)
to ship to China. Taliban controlled Afghanistan said no.
911 happens, Bush Administration demands Taliban turn Bin Laden over.
Taliban says "if you have proof" you can have him.
There is no proof, so we invade anyway, overturn Taliban, put Karzai in control
(Karzai was a member of Unicals board)
pipeline is on.
Months later we "Find" a tape of a man who doesnt even look like bin laden
taking credit for the attacks. The man in the video is also wearing a gold ring (against religion)
and is seen writting with the wrong hand. Great proof huh.
But we announce to the world that this is the proof he planned 911.
We also now control the poppy fields.
Then we invade Iraq.
For those that scream it cant be about oil, because America isnt getting the oil,
The oil isnt for us in America, its for control of the oil world wide.
Who else has oil ? Iran.
Take a look at the map, we are in Iraq (Irans western border) and we are in Afghanistan (Irans Western border)
We also have bases in Azerbajan (Irans northern border)
Surrounded.
The neocons want to control the worlds oil.
Ghaddafi wanted to nationalise his oil companies, bang, he gets it next.
Do you know what the job of the CIA is ?
Thier job is to keep the American economy afloat by any means neccessary
Including laundering drug money.
The Military Industrial people are the Neocons, and they control the White House, and Congress.
The United States hasnt been a country since JFK was eliminated,
we are a corporation controlled by the elite.
This is just one phase of a larger plan.
There is more coming, the Tea Party debt ceiling fiasco was one act in a much larger play.
These people play "Risk" with real armies,
and "Monopoly" with real money.
You are the pieces in the game.
this list of responses to this article has to be some of the dumbest redneck backwoods couch-politics I've ever seen... how is it these people can post this stuff... it's complete idiocracy.... I'm not pointing my fingers at the people trying to stick up for this or that religion... but come on... some of these people are just plain old scary
Point your finger at yourself
That's frightening. Too bad he died, could have been a sweet book deal.
What a load of crap. This from the same people who "killed" the most wanted man in the world and then thought it would be a good idea to depose of his body after. I mean, cmon..
Based on Islamic law, they did believe it was a good idea, and understandably so. Being an American ought to be about being the bigger man, so to speak.
mofo's dead. nuf-said. peace
Oops..'President'
@t-peezy? SPELL CHECK! All of u nay-sayers void of lucid solutions hell-bent on bashing this country and OUR presudent? Leave then! Try your luck n Germany,Cuba,Mexico,ANYWHERE else..dumbasses! Obama is an AWESOME leader!!
We can find a place for you on some galatic rock.
There is no reason at all to think that our nation would conspire against its own people.... oh yea there was that incident in Tuskegee. You know, where our sacred government knowingly gave africanamericans syphalis, oops. That was just one incident. Oh yea there was that CIA thing with LSD and unkowing civilians being dosed to study the results of being dosed. Demoncrats and Repugnantones. Why pick aside? They both want to bend you over a barel. They DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!!! Why do you people think they do. America is way better off than most of the world. We are so spoiled, we get so upset when we read some post we dont like. We call eachother names over the slightest crap. We have the most money cause we ARE the most selfish.
I do hate the barbarism of a lot of other cultures. Women hateing Taliban etc.
I read the Quaran. It says you can beat your wife lightly. What a way to praise God. What a way to raise kids. So realy we are stuck between the greedy and the cruel. Come on Armageadon. The Earth is an overripe fruir.
Considering the way Bush courted the Saudi Ruling Family (if you remember they are related to their dearly departed Osama), as seen on Farenheit 9/11, several things BLATANTLY obvious. 1.) Bush used Obama to have a reason to have any relevance as President, and his ability to govern on domestic issues helped destroy our economy. 2.) The fact that Bush was so clueless in that Florida Classroom made the case he knew about this prior to it happening and used it to further his failed administration. 3.) The Tea Party is at fault also, because the truth REALLY came out (and as god made little green apples, we are close to getting the WHOLE truth on this treason), the GOP and the Tea Party would be done for (thus their plan to destroy the economy on Aug. 2nd). BOTTOM LINE: The GOP is trying to keep the truth being told, and their brave band of patriots the Tea Bags will stop at nothing from hiding the truth held evident that only the rich are Americans, the rest are peasants.
As soon as you quote a movie (Farenheit 911) as proof of anything your credibility on an issue is supspect at best.
This is BS! Why didn't they show us bin karena body!?
This is all BS!! Why didn't they show us Bin Ladens' body!?
Stop and think, if Osama has been dead, then why did the Al Qaeda confirm that we killed him when we said we did? They really have no reason to side with us. Please think before you speak.
I like Turtles!
I wonder if Seal Team 6 used a commando or possibly a M16 to kill OBL. I would have planted a claymore outside his room, flashbanged him, threw a semtex in there and waited for the claymore to go off. 100
100
It is obvious that you never think.
Midranger...u the ONLY one who is making rational sense!
OSAMA sure took responsibility for 9 11..so was HE the LIAR about that....or was it the US govt...and bin laden covered foe the us govt???? YOU all IDIOTS....
Imbeciles like yourself shouldn't be allowed near a computer.
Imbeciles like you should just sit in front of your computer and believe everything you see.
You should not be allowed to add responses
You are a sad individual to call all others idiots.... Who made you God? I f you have a point to make, then make it without behaving like a spoiled brat who is the only one who is in the know...NOT!
Gee the terrorists plan is the same as the GOP's. Whooda thunk it.
The GOP plan is to dump you in the ocean. You will then have little need to ponder irrational responses
Just one thing CNN...
Obama wasnt Elected as president when he was killed u dumb asses U LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING
U DIDNT KILL OSAMA
HES BEN DEAD!
Well the Taliban sure thinks Obama was behind Osama Bin Laden's killing.
You get your news from Al Quada and the Taliban? That's a reliable source of information. When Osama and the Taliban agree, it must be true.
What???!!!!
Was Timothy Mcveigh a muslim??
With that being said, anyone is capable of these things whether muslim, christian, or any other religion for that matter!
It has been confirmed that he was a "holy roller moslem"
Did Murdoch find the documents first?
I prefer stuff crust, but domino's has that crust that tastes like a sugar donut
You sound flaky
obama is doing a way better job of destroying the country than bin laden ever could so why were they mad?! not getting any credit ?
"independent mind" that's funny.
@ the scumbag independent mind you lie you have always been a republitard.
why do people say Obama. what happened to Bush everyone seems to have forgotten who but us here but cause people can't except that his black its all his fault wow...Get over it
ALBERT...it was the SAME HIDDEN chopper that the govt HID from us that flew in and killed that Cnt bin laden....do we REALLY need to know all the little secrets???????? Jesus f-ing Christ...you "conspirators" lay the F off for 2 mins for gods sake. Jesus

Hey, cool of buddy.. don't give yourself a heart attack over r a guy who show us a birth certificate FORGERY as a proof of being an American thus illegible to be president of the US...
Sound off, illiterate f*cks of the world. Woo hoo.
Seriously? You cannot even be happy we got Bin Laden? You are SO partisan and blind that you can't even be happy for something that is good for the whole country? Aside from the fact you can't spell or speak English well, you are also a bit of a dou$h bag.
@Chuck...f..u..too, stupid retard..
You're *NOT* JoeSixpack but you *ARE* stupid.
More like Joe Kool-Aid drinker...
I'm still waiting to see Boehner's birth certificate, as the first "Orange American" in such a high office it's imperative we make sure he's legally eligible to hold the position.
JoeSixpack. I don't believe you wrote that. You don't exist since I can see you. See how easy that is? I can say something is not real just because I say so. In my mind, somehow that makes sense.
My god, still harping about the birth certificate ??/
Do you not believe that if his birth certificate was not real the first person
screaming about it would have been Hillary Clinton, as he beat her in the Primaries.
He was vetted and passed.
People like you who cant deal with reality......Need help.

@ pamiri
Listen, islam is not a terrorist religion. Go ready the Quran. I quote from the Quran:
"He who kills one man, kills the whole community. He who saves one life, saves the whole community."
In the bible, you have "thou shall not kill"
I should know, i AM muslim. if i was one of those drunk a**holes in a god forsaken country, would i be saying this? No. In fact, Islam prohibits fighting unless in self defense. Jihad does not mean holy war, and who ever uses it in that way is sorely mistaken. It means the fight against evil in ones self.
And there are 1 BILLION Muslims in the entire world. How the hell do you expect a small band of crazy's living in a cave would represent them all?
@rotinhell
Go read the Quran. Do not talk about things that of which you know nothing of. You are an insult to Islam, and every religion in the world.
Just in case you have no access to a real Quran, here is one : http://www.quranexplorer.com/quran/
But why don't the Majority speak out against the minority that are doing these bad things??? In the case, silence is agreement.
Islam S U X!!
and you stink... Happy now..
You can say that Islam is peaceful all you want. That's all theoretical. It doesn't matter what a few Muslims in a "pure" version of Islam might do, theoretically. Here's what matters: if I'm in Afghanistan, or Pakistan, or Iraq, or Yemen, or a few other places, no matter how beneficial my purposes might be, I stand a good chance of being kidnapped. Having been kidnapped, I stand a good chance of being killed. No matter how many times I read to my captors the explanation you've given above, if I can even remember it, given the duress I'm under, and if they even bother to listen to my explanations, it is still very, very likely, that I will die, and that they will claim they are operating under the laws of Islam in killing me. The moral of the story is that Islam is as Islam does, and what Islam does is kill lots and lots and lots of people for no good reason.
You can be kidnapped in ANY Third-World country regardless of the religion practiced. Try walking down the streets in Bogota, or even in most of the Mexican border towns these days. Damn, those Mexican Muslims!!! lol
"
You are quite right, but it is useless to explain this to bigots.
And the trouble is that they also don't understand that news is what is "new" and unusual, not what is typical. We have an old saying in the news business: Dog bites man - not a news story. Man bites dog - that's a news story.
People with small minds have trouble understanding this distinction - that a billion normal people do not get on the news, while a small number of crazies do.
and with idiot like you... no wonder hardly any body believe a word from the Presstitute, anymore....
You can judge an individual person and a community by their deeds and what they produce. Their fruits. At one time, Islam represented a deeply intellectual culture who advanced mathematics and medicine to great heights. Where are the Rumis and Saladins of the Isamic world today? Where is the high culture of Islam's past? Modern Islam has become so soaked in anger and violence that even with a billion followers it's difficult to point to even a handful of contemporary Muslim artists (music, literature, theatre, dance, film, painting, etc) who have made a lasting, positive impact on world culture. One can discern a lot about a civilisation by the quality, creativity, and innovation of their high culture (or utter lack thereof). While I know there are amazing individual Muslim artists / thinkers / scientists out there right now - I'm not seeing Islamic culture producing much that is progressive and positive for humanity today. Islamic culture seems to be stuck in a dark and repressive group think mind set. A pity given the rich tradition and history of intellectual and artistic greatness of many centuries ago. Islamic culture grew, flowered gloriously, and is now appears well past it's prime - it should continue to decay and go away entirely or enjoy a cultural renewal / rennaisance led by young Muslims breaking free from the mental chains that are holding them down. A people of and at peace tend to create awesome works of invention and artistic beauty. How many would say that today's Islamic culture fits that description? There's always hope, but to know Islam by it's "fruits" today is to recognize a less than ideal mind set for the progression of the human race (the same can be said about fundamentalists from any religion / idealogy - but this thread is about Islam in particular, hence the focus on modern Islamic culture / civilisation).
Well said.I am methodist in belief and I lived with muslim roomates for 2 years. They are one of the best people I have ever known. The extremist want us to stay out of their affairs,ok, let's do it.leave the area and see what happens.nothing else has worked.hate breeds hate. Afgan=largest supply of opium(vicoden,lortab,oxy,etc....) and not to mention the oil from middle east.hum........drugs and oil,go figure. Do you know how many people have died by christians or buddist or even by the jews. Religion has killed more people than any other cause. Its not a christain or muslim thing,its a hate thing.hate is a drug that is destroying humanity.the Quran,Bible and many other text emphasise love but yet we seem to focus on the parts that speak of defending against evil.we confuse defending evil with hate thus. Giving us a motive for hate.one man said " all you need is love " how simple and how true.
There is what is written in the koran and there is what the moslems do.
To the moron (1st post) who said that BinLaden and Republicans both are after Obama, I implore you not to let your partisanship control your brain. To suggest that political ambition and anarchic global terrorism are synonymous is moronic.I guess that 4 years ago every Democrat was aligned with BinLaden too, right? Left-on-everything idiot you are. Way to push an idea you know is BS just to pick up a couple votes for the general election. I have news for you: both parties are very similar; they just belong to different special interest groups.
Baltimore,
I think your thesis would hold water except for the virulence of the rhetoric from the right. It is much like the anti-Lincoln rhetoric heard from southerners and copperheads during the Civil War. That lack of civility is, in an of itself, an incitement to violence. Witness Jon Wilkes Booth, a guy who drank the Kool-aid of the time.
Perhaps if your side would confine itself to issues rather than such personal incitement, your point would be true.
I'm shocked they didn't wait til closer to election time to run this fake story.
I love how everyone now is offended by these CNN news articles, like they forced you to read it. Get over yourselves, turn off the computer, and STFU!
Internet sucks. I remember the days when you kept your dumb opinions to yourself. Now every know-it-all-monday morning quarterback retard can tell us "how it really is"
and you have a special troll pass, Steven? I completely agree with Ct by the way.
Well, I know what I am talking about, so let me tell you how it really is...

@Ct: I'm shocked that you're allowed to use a computer. Dude, there's more to life than paranoia.
Skepticism is paranoia now? Do you always believe everything you read Alex?
Good point. American mass media is a joke. OBL was a joke. 911 the crux of all jokes.
New headline: CNN Article discusses attacking Obama
This story ain't worth the ones and zeroes it's programmed with.
Wow, releasing documents to make this look like an epic personal struggle between Osama and our hero. The media just has no shame in its reporting. What do you want to bet Osama, like the Unibomber, had notes saying to attack just about everyone.
Isn't is so FUNNY how an Israeli kills an ambusher/attacker and they are so evil...yet you LIBERAL Fckers sit by and listen to pakis and afgahnis KILLING eachother ewver day...but THAT'S COOL huh?
Hmmm. Dont get your point.
ewver day ? get off the computer and go back to school nimrod
@Paul: try different meds. The ones you're on right now are not working. You're delusional, but can still be brought back to reality if you seek treatment now. I know there are lots of conservatives who don't trust science, but medical science can help you manage your mental issues.
Brian,
ewver is code. You have to be in the club to read the code though, sorry.
Paul, suicide is painless,
Please try it.
Thank you.
I'm pretty sure binL and any of his ilk would have been "disrespectful" in the worst possible way of ANY US president, no matter who it happened to be. So, is this really a story?
did these documents also mention how the cia visited bin laden a couple of months before 9/11 while he was getting kidney dialysis? 9/11 was an inside job, it is fact. why wont americans wake up? i think some americans realize the earth is round, why cant they wake up to the fact that the u.s. government carried out 9/11.
Oh, david, please. If Nixon, with an iron hand hovering over the entire gvmt security apparatus, could not keep the lid on a two bit burglary... Then what the hell makes you think anyone could keep the lid on something that would have had to involve an unbelieveably complex cover up by the countless number of conspirators this would have required? You either need to re-think this matter, or think about it for the very first time.
Haha. Very well put. That's the best point I've heard on the sane side of the ongoing debate about the 9/11 conspiracy
Pulling off 911 was rather easy,
because people like you dont think they can get away with it
so they do.
You would be surprised at how many people screaming about 911 have been sileneced.
Some have been killed in misterious ways.
Others have been threatened, and many in the governement have signed confidential oaths
that could land them in jail.
Ever heard of the secret government ?
Why do we have the NSA, when we already have The FBI and The CIA ?
The NSA is the secret government. They even have thier own Classified budget.
I dont care if anybody believes me or not, as i was unemployed for a while
i did some research, and found that most of the info used to debunk 911 was either distortion,
lies, or "Funny" science.
This spider web is so large that you cant see the whole picture.
For instance why building 7 ?
All of the evidence from Enron, california ebergy scandal, and other innside trading
that was going to court, could have implicated people who are in, or influence our government.
All destroyed, but no plane hit that building.
Even the people who buildt the trade centers said, no way could jet fuel fire destroy the building
all fired.
There is tons more, but nobody wants to believe, so they pulled it off.
Wow. How long does it take you to make your tinfoil hat each morning? Go sell crazy somewhere else.
you're a moron. wake up.
Then move out of our country. I'm not saying you're wrong, but if you are right, don't you have a problem with living undetermined the rules of and paying taxes towards a government that did such a thing? Why not just move out of the country? You think there's a better place to live?
I blame Mulder and Scully for this. Damn X-Files!
i dont agree nor dissagree...but lets remember this is the same government that will shoot you on demand if you step foot on their area 51 facilities....so many secrets kept from the country that we call free.
hmm and i wonder why we arent sending anymore shuttles to space.
Beause the administration running the country at the time of the 9/11 attacks was so incompetent, they couldn't organize a bake sale, let alone those attacks.
The current administration isn't much better.
They wanted to attack Obama. Heck, the Rethuglikkens do that every day. Come to think of it, the GOP and the Taliban have a lot in common.
Yeah. THAT made sense. Sheesh...
Yip...you are all so correct, its the Republicans who are the ones knocking the president....you are all such HIPPOCRITES...don't you remember the attacks on Bush every day for years from you bashing AHoles!!!!!
To defend a "Wet-brain" like Bush you must either be... A) one of those dumb-ass, politically ignorant midwesterners or simply B) Among the top 3% of the countries wealthy. I was personally embarrased to even see him attempt to answer simple questions without Cheney's help while in office, let alone what that Clown has done to the Economy.
You want you children to be future Biggots, then raise a Right winger.
I would like to ask in this situation who the bigot is because this statement sounds like that of a bigot. To classify an entire group of morals or beliefs as an undesirable part of your community that should be eradicated or removed because you don't like it shows the signs of a bigot itself. So please keep comments of such broad and generalized hating to a minimal unless you can provide adequate, or even, intelligible backing to your case.
Thank you,
SomeoneWhoCares
Actually "dumb-ass" is the symbol of the Democrat Party.
..."Hippocrites"... haha.. Too bad the republican icon is an elephant and not a Hippopotamus; that would make that even better.
That is a fairly nice play on words. 🙂 I have to say though, in all seriousness, that there is no one sided factor of Hippocratic actions here. The system itself only allows hippocrites to exist. Each side will continue to point fingers at each other and claim self superiority until the government is fractured beyond repair and in reality it proves the lack of conscience and decency the government has for itself and its people. My overall point is that both sides are equally hippocritical and that having political devision to this extreme will in the long run get nothing done. On an A.D.D. back-traking note, thank you for the small joke that gave me something to think about.
Sincerely,
SomeoneWhoCares
Bush deserved it. Just to remind you feeble one, we were attacked on 9-11-01 by 19 hijackers, 15 of which were from one country alone, Saudi Arabia. Not one from Iraq. Even Bin Laden is Saudi. And what does your genius Bush do, he goes and attacks Iraq which had nothing what so ever to do with 9-11. He goes after the wrong enemy, de-stablilises the whole region, makes Iraq now a Shiite enclave to hook up with their Iranian Shiite brothers, and you idolize him. He was a mental midget with the IQ of a fencepost
Is the goverment telling us the truth.
Are you sure the Tea baggers and conservative Republican's were not involved in this brainstorming plot?
What an absolute idiotic statement. Where do you idiots come from? Grow the hell up and shut up!
Thank god that low life piece of sh*t is dead. THANK YOU SEALS!! And to that afghan running his mouth.....thank god your not in america or you would be getting your shit pushed in....stay in your terrorist land
This is pure propaganda from the Obama administration. A month ago, they were going to attack his grandmother. Obama has to have a boogeyman so that he can continue to wage war.
Spoken like a child who thinks he knows something. 9/11 wasn't the work of a "boogeyman". Granted, the boogeymen could be Bush & Cheney and those suspected of carrying out our governments 2001 version of "Operation Northwoods", but it could also be proven Muslim terrorists. Either way, Osama, et al, are not a figment of someone's imagination.
Murky Mook has a Murky Mind. Think before you post. Or, better (and easier) yet don't post.
I agree 100%. The whole "War on Terror" is a giant deception beginning with the Bush Administration and continuing into the Obama administration. The boogeyman of Al Quaida keeps Americans in perpetual fear and gives them a blank check to invade any nation they want and trample on civil rights here a home.
This story is just more BS.
She stinks, literally. take a bath in clean water for a change you brainwashed terrorist ho!
WOMEN SHOULD HAVE NO RIGHTS!
You filthy western pigs want ruin our culture by giving rights to women.
All Afghan girls should be force to wear scantily clad outfits and dance in front of men for money....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlibJT2_KmI&feature=player_embedded
That's the only job they should be allowed to have.
I dont get how males over there tell females to cover everything up... Wheres the fun in that JALAL?!?
AMURICA!
Like most Muslim men, this guy is flabbergasted as to what he should do in the presence of a Woman. He's thinking: I need to stone her or something, yet I am strangely attracted to something not hairy like my buddy...
was will be.. excellent editing.
The documents also referred in a more general way to a desire by al "alQaeda to attack the president and Petraeus, who was will be departing soon as the U.S. military commander in Afghanistan."
Obama gets more attacks from the Republican Party than from anywhere else.
and are your dreams wet too?
Justice is the platform for peace. Redemption is God's justice for peace in the world. Both America and al Qaeda must do justly to entrench peace.
This is the same thing the GOP documents say!!, was he?.... no......
If bin laden wanted to attack Obama, all he had to do is join the Republican Party.
The problem with you hypocrats is you fail to remember the past. We endured 8 years of demon-rats bashing Bush. Give it a rest poser and go spend someone else's money. You guys are good at that.
By destroying the country and our civil rights, Bush was the worst president in the history of this country and earned every bash he received. Actually, he got off easy, he should have been hanged for war crimes.
I THINK WE SHOULD GET RID OF THIS KUFR AND ALL AFGHAN GIRLS SHOULD BE LIKE THIS ONE!
YOU FILTHY CAPITALIST ZIONST YANKEE PIGS ARE NO MATCH FOR THIS NEW SECRET WEAPON!

THAT WAY WE'LL BE ABLE TO FIGHT OFF YOU FILTHY CAPITALIST, ZIONIST PUPPET AMERICAN PIGS!
GOD BLESS THE MUJAHIDEEN! ALLAH HU AKBAR!

I'm just curious...how did you medieval primates manage to get electricity down in your caves?
infidel
I'm sorry...I couldn't hear you over the drones we're launching into that god-forsaken country.
There is no way that Bin Laden would have be able to get to the President. You are all fooled by the media. Do your reseach. Goverments minipulate people through the media and you guys buy it hook line and sinker. Do you really think there is that big of a difference between democrats and republicans. They are both rich and are out of touch with the rest of society. All they do is help the corporations that helped put them into power. They distract us with all this bullcrap to hide what really is going on. DO you really believe everything they tell you. Back in the 60's the goverment had plans to attack its own citizens to justify us going to war with Cuba and the solviet union. You can find that through the freedom of information act. War creates billions and trillions of dollars. Do you think they really care about you? If you had the power to make that kind of money would you truely care about what happens to people you dont know? In public you might say you do but deep down inside you know you would'nt. Think about that.
conspiracy theorist are you?
CThe government has spent $15 billion on Yucca Mountain, which is still not open for storing spent nuclear fuel from power plants.We are only 40 or 50 billion away from having a totally bullet proof radioactive money pit. It is the first of its kind and has to be completed or all that money being spent there will be wasted on SSI payments to the fools that funded the failed system in the beginning. Why dont you get it? elect me and I will set you free. Or be ugly.
It really is.
Sounds like something right out of the GOTea Party playbook.
Who cares?
i think some americans have the same idea about now actually
meeeeeee
what a non shocking story
I'm all for killing bin Laden, no loss to humanity there, but what is with these officials who aren't authorized to 'speak on the record' SPEAKING ON THE RECORD? How does this idiot sleep at night knowing he's violating his contract, NDA, and the trust of his country? How much (or how) did the reporter reward him/her/it for his indiscretion? It's embarrassing that officials in our government cannot keep their mouths shut. PIOs exist for a reason and while this may seems like an interesting tidbit that cannot do harm, it isn't his/her place to make that decision and making one innocent comment to a reporter invariably leads to more. Treasonist bastard.
@Amrullah Yousafzai in Mingora,Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (NWFP)
Since your Mujahideen have killed more civilians than the U.S. ever will I guess your people will be turning on you sometime in the near future.
Just more from the words of invaders and occupiers to justify their treachery.
Like I said, all Afghan girls should dance erratically
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tERB_Gmi5QU
The war would be over if they could be like that.
I could go to any bar in the USA where white folks hang out and watch people dance erratically. Now a good EROTIC dancer is hard to find!
Obama wants to take away my parents SSI which they paid for and someone who wanted him dead is the bad guy??? I am not buying it
Your parents didn't put in any of the money they are getting. I did. Not my problem your parents didn't save properly
phucque Obama
Bin Laden's plans were like dank dark labyrinths, and he never seemed to be alone down there. I can't say I'm sorry he's dead, but we did not kill him for revenge. Rather he was killed for his clear and present danger.
Bin Laden did not need to plan anything, we have plenty of racist republican scumbags who have fantasized plenty of that scenario as it is. And they all drink the same tea as the islamofacists. cross hair maps anyone? ARAB! RACIST! SOCIALIST! GRANNY KILLER! ILLEGAL ALIEN! COMMUNIST!
Are you kidding me with this? Comparing your fellow Americans (guessing) with terrorists because of a difference of political philosophy? Please hurry down to your local pharmacy and pick up your medication refills.
Tea Bagging RepubliKKKans are KKKilling America is right on the money.
It's somewhat true: the saddest thing is that Republicans were hoping and crossing their fingers (especially the likes of Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc, we said such things on the air) that something terrible would happen to America or its Americans. Just like Bin Laden hoped, they did too–just so it would give Republicans some power and some talking points. Do you see it now?
Sounds like the GOP!!
Those clowns could not have gotten within a half mile of whichever aircraft carrier would have been targeted. No way they could have ever pulled that one off.
If bin laden wanted to attack Obam, all he had to do is join the Republican Party.
LMAOOOOO
Even Bin Laden would not stoop that low.
is this any surprise? why would they not try to attack high interest targets?...
YOU YANKS ARE STUPID thinking you will win the war by invading occupying and killing civilians as you are creating more and more enemies everyday which will come back to bite you sooner or later.
I HAVE THE SOLUTION TO THE AFGHAN WAR!
ALL AFGHAN GIRLS SHOULD BE LIKE THIS PAKI SWATI GIRL....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JfggTjKmUk
THE WAR WOULD BE OVER TOMORROW IF THEY COULD ALL BE LIKE HER!
This chicks dancing skills are sweet....and by sweet I mean the worst god awful, worst dancing I've ever seen. I'm a white guy and I can dance better than this, and that's pathetic. This must be the 'no foot moving hip bumping' dance move....of course in the southpaw style.
Khyber Kardashian?
any chik worse than a white guy has to be crap
I am ready for a full frontal assault. Sign me up.
Sorry, for entertainment value the later video with the AK is superior. Although I'm intruiged how converting Afghanistan's women into strippers would end the war. Please elaborate.
Isn't that the leader of the Red Mosque in Pakistan just prior to his escape attempt? I've noticed lots of those jihadis prefer women's clothes and sex with men...not that there's anything wrong with that.
Now there is a little less evil in the world.
Good thing Obama got him first.
Bin Laden wanted to attack President Obama. That's the same plan as the Republicans and Tea Partiers. Obviously al-Qaeda and right wingers are working together.
are you sure its not rich man Soros? He's the one you leftist idiots should be watching out for! All you libtards think its just the great republican party that's rich. Don't you for one minute think a democrat can be rich too? I know with so many of them with their hands out expecting and demanding that we more fortunate people take care of them, it hard to fathom. Why should I, educated, good job always, saved properly for retirement, have MINE taken to give to some slovenly bastard that CHOOSES not to better himself? In your dreams!
So I, well educated, strugglling to keep a job and stay afloat my whole life can kiss the social security I have been paying into my whole working life goodbye so some rich greedy bastard like yourself can enjoy huge bonuses and send my job to India? While I pay your share of taxes for you? Screw you! I'm am not a theist at all, but if there is a h e l l Ayn Rand is there (after defrauding medicare in her dying days by using a(nother) pseudonym). And it's fires surely await all the rich a$$holes who ignore their moral duties.
And I am sooo happy for you that you can sit in your privileged little existence and judge everyone you consider below you. Daddy pay for college did he? Some of us had to earn it.
@ SCOTT You are right but not only the republicans but the tea party also. TP&RE DID NOT BRING DOWN Bin Laden Obama did instead of thanking Obama they attack him,they should be a shame of them self the only time he got thanks is when he bring down bin laden they should give him a helping hand.thanks Scott for talking the truth from your heart.
May Osama get Obama
