Gaddafi dead? More proof than Bin Laden's death...

Well either I happen to be the Navy Seal who killed him, and I have a picture of myself with his body which I will post along with my address, or all I can do is speculate. I can make a good speculation though.

There was debate when Bin Laden was killed as to if the US should release the death photos. Al Qaida acknowledged his death. The Americans decided not to release photos. Al Qaida has nothing to gain from acknowledging his death unless it was to prevent Bin Laden's death photos from being released. Bin Laden's dignity in death gets preserved and the U.S. get confirmation of that death. I accept it because it fits.

You can take "that's the Americans" to mean so many things, but yes, I think Bin Laden died years ago, to be honest.

.

PROOF people, PROOF!!!

If you were in court charged with murder and a witness said "I watched him stab that person to death and dropped the knife, I then picked the knife up and chucked it in the Sea" and there was no other evidence, would you go to prison?

Still not good enough for me.

Where did you find all of that information? Through the media? Where did they get it? Did they disclose everything? Could there be countless other situations which could amount to Al Qaeda saying Bin Laden's dead, Bin Laden not making public announcements and the US government claiming they had killed Bin Laden? Yes.

This isn't good enough, the Government really piss me off. They say "Look trust me, he's dead" I say "Look, trust me I earn £15k a year" , let's see how important truth is to them then.

why do people hate gaddafi so much?

If you're so convinced that everything's a lie then noone here is going to be able to convince you otherwise, no matter what the source. You'll just dismiss it as propaganda.

So why should we bother?


Here, have one of these:

well if OBL is still with us he has been strangely quiet for the last few months

So because I want evidence that something's happened and don't just accept everything I hear, I'm crazy?

You're a mug.

Kinda feel sorry for him. He was, like many other Middle Eastern dictators, backed by the West right up until the sequence of events that lead to his demise.

Just like Saddam, stabbed in the back by the West because he went a little too far.

I don't know why, but I'm sad he has died.. If it's true.


R.I.P Colonel Gaddafi.. If it's true..

A guy at work just told me Gaddafi's dead and showed me a picture of a dead guy who sort of looks like him, on the BBC website.

He said, but we can't tell really, could just be rumours.

Then I said, well I've still not seen proof that Bin Laden's dead.

He said, "yeah but that's the American's" As if that's proof (sort of like the Bible I guess).

So can anyone convince me that Bin Laden's dead? I'm talking PROOF, not circumstancial evidence or "ohh, it's not in American's interest, etc, etc, etc"

I don't want any double guesses of America's motives, I want to know what proof you think you've seen of Bin Laden's death which makes you believe it's true.

Because you think you're going to get more from a random bunch of students on the internet you're crazy, yes.

Either you choose to trust or you do not, whichever side you come down on is of no interest to me, but passing on the effort to other people because you can't be bothered is just lazy.
If you're so convinced they're alive it, prove it. You're the one fighting against the current here, not us.

why aren't more people asking questions about this

I'm fighting against the mindless drones in their millions who take everything they hear for absolute proof without asking questions. That is my point, not whether Bin Laden is alive or dead or in fact, ever existed. The point is, why aren't more people asking questions about this (and a **** load of other things currently going on in the world)?

Because noone believes, trusts, respects, pays attention to or in any way care about politicians and what they say. If we ask, they ignore. If they answer, we call them liars.
In an age where that's true, how are you ever going to get answers you believe?
