No, Bush wouldn't have been that smart, but Karl Rove would have been. This wasn't Bush per se. This isn't a conspiracy theory, as many of you like to automatically claim when there's something put out there that doesn't comport to your indoctrinated views... opinions that are gotten and formed from the propaganda outlets. Some people will label something "conspiracy theory" because it runs counter to their indoctrination and it's trendy.
There were audio/visual experts that examined the OBL videos and they concluded they were faked. Have you even looked into it? This didn't require tens of thousands of people either.
also, What's your opinion about all the news in 2002 about OBL's poor health and the government experts and news pundits belief at that time that he died due to his poor health (bad kidneys and marfan syndrome)
who were these audio/visual experts?
lot's of people have bad kidneys, OBL had access to the best medical care money could buy.
Marfan syndrome (also called Marfan's syndrome) is a genetic disorder of the connective tissue. People with Marfan's tend to be unusually tall, with long limbs and long, thin fingers.
It is inherited as a dominant trait. It is carried by a gene called FBN1, which encodes a connective protein called fibrillin-1.[1][2] People have a pair of FBN1 genes. Because it is dominant, people who have inherited one affected FBN1 gene from either parent will have Marfan's.
Marfan syndrome has a range of expressions, from mild to severe. The most serious complications are defects of the heart valves and aorta. It may also affect the lungs, eyes, the dural sac surrounding the spinal cord, skeleton and the hard palate.
no where does it say it's fatal.
so again it's specious speculation .
I didn't say marfan syndrome was fatal did I?, but if you have bad kidneys and don't get kidney dialysis it can be fatal. OBL [HAD] the best care money could buy but he wasn't being provided the best care money could provide being chased around the mountains of Afghanistan. Kidney dialysis machines require electricity to operate and I don't believe OBL had the electricity to even run one living in caves.
Top U.S. Bin Laden Expert: Confession Video “Bogus”
by Kevin Barrett,
Welcome to the Muslim-Christian-Jewish Alliance for 9/11 Truth
2/17/06
Was Osama Bin Laden responsible for 9/11?
The Bush Administration says yes, citing a grainy, badly-edited videotape that surfaced in December, 2001. In that tape, a fat guy who vaguely resembles Bin Laden chortles about the success of the 9/11 attacks. (In earlier interviews, Bin Laden had denied responsibility for 9/11, once even deploring the loss of civilian life in the attacks and calling them un-Islamic.)
Is the famous “confession video” genuine? Despite Bush’s insistence that the tape is authentic, America’s top academic Bin Laden expert has finally gone on the record, joining numerous other experts. “It’s bogus,” says Professor Bruce Lawrence, head of Duke University’s Religious Studies program.
Lawrence, author of Messages to the World: The Statements of Osama Bin Laden, offered his historic debunking of the administration’s lie in an interview with Kevin Barrett (“Dynamic Duo,” gcnlive.com, 2/16/2007, first hour). The interview marked Lawrence’s first major public statement since he made headlines last year by suggesting that recent Osama tapes are hoaxes and that the real Osama Bin Laden may be dead.
Why has the Bush Administration been lying for more than five years by telling us that this preposterously bad hoax is a genuine “confession video”? Lawrence, citing informants in the US intelligence apparatus’s Bin Laden units, said they all know the tape is fake, adding that the hoax has been kept alive because it is politically useful to those who wish to deflect attention from “conspiracy theories” about 9/11.
If Professor Lawrence is right—and anyone with eyes can see that he is, simply by comparing the overweight impostor in the Fatty Bin Laden bogus confession video to other pictures of Osama Bin Laden—
the Bush Administration, by repeatedly citing the tape as authentic, is clearly guilty of obstruction of justice at best, high treason and conspiracy to mass murder at worst. Since the FBI now tells us that Osama Bin Laden is “not wanted for 9/11” because there is “no hard evidence” connecting him to the 9/11 attacks, and since US intelligence personnel all know the “confession tape” is a Bush Administration hoax, it should not be difficult to nail the perpetrators of this outrageous, stunningly sloppy cover-up of the crime of the century.
It is time for Congress or an appropriate judicial authority to mount an investigation of the Fatty Bin Laden bogus confession video. Where did this tape come from? Who was responsible for the administrationÂ’s claim that it is authentic, despite widespread knowledge in relevant intelligence agencies that it is bogus? If Bruce Lawrence is correct in asserting that US intelligence personnel know the tape is fake, we need to put them, along with Bush and Cheney, under oath and find out why our government has been lying so outrageously for more than five years in order to obstruct justice by shielding the real perpetrators of 9/11.
