      Gotta say, posting that is a major L. That is absolutely not a credible site. Even if you believe he died in 2002, that is not where I would go looking for a source.

      Also, I personally believe he was alive because all the seals argue about which of them was the one who actually got to pull the trigger finally.

      Anyways, really sad to see you post cringe like this, hope you make a full recovery soon.

          I don’t doubt that they shot somebody who they were told was OBL. Recall that the SEALs blasted his face into a crater, as ordered, which would make a positive identification at the scene difficult. No photos or DNA samples were taken.

        You’ve probably faced the frustrating situation in which a liberal refuses to engage with a well-reasoned article simply because they dislike the source. I bookmarked that page before the pandemic began and I was unaware that the authors had taken a Max Blumenthal-esque turn. That Off-Guardian piece was little more than a collection of articles from mainstream news websites. I’ve reduced it to its underlying layer of sources.

        Cheers, comrade.

          Fair enough, I think you’re original comment is removed so if you edited it, I can’t really see it. If you want to make it a proper post some time I’d be happy to try and give it a proper read.
