The Brothers Bin Laden: Khaled Shot Dead Protecting His Father, His Brother Allegedly Captured By SEALs (Photo)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 4:15 PM
Putting the pieces together…
Today we found out that Osama Bin Laden died a coward.
FOX News reported:
Sources involved in the operation that took down Usama bin Laden told Fox News the terrorist leader acted “scared” and “completely confused” in his final moments, “shoving his wife” at the Navy SEAL who ultimately shot him.
His sons were more courageous.
Khaled Bin Laden died protecting his father who was hiding upstairs.
As the SEALs moved through the compound, bin Laden’s son Khaled rushed down from the third floor to the second floor and confronted the SEALs, who killed him.
Of the photos released yesterday, one shows a young man who has a striking resemblance to Osama Bin Laden. This most likely is Khaled Bin Laden.
An unidentified body of a man is seen after a raid by US Navy Seal commandos on the compound where al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was killed in Abbottabad. (Guardian)
Pakistani authorities today also reported that the US took one of Osama’s son back with them alive.
Dawn reported:
Osama bin Laden’s teenage daughter witnessed her father’s death in the compound in Abbottabad according to an ISI official. The girl is now in Pakistani custody together with Bin Laden’s wife. The wife, who speaks only Arabic and who was injured in the attack, said on regaining consciousness that she was Yemeni and that she had been in the compound for a few months.
The official said there were 17 or 18 people in the compound at the time of the attack and that as well as taking Osama bin Laden’s body away the Americans took one person alive — possibly one of his sons.
Four dead bodies were left in the compound. It is believed they are of another son, 2 brothers and a guard.
Those who survived the attack included the wife, the daughter and 8 to 9 other children — not apparently Bin Laden’s but possibly those of his brothers. All those being held in Pakistan will be returned to their countries of origin.
When the Pakistan authorities found the surviving women and children in the compound their hands were bound with plastic tags and it is believed that had one of the American helicopters not malfunctioned then they too would have been taken away.
Of course, since there are about 27 different stories now on what happened and no proof we can’t be sure if any of this really happened.

Sorry, Jim. At this point I have trouble believing a single word that is being published about this operation. There have simply been too many lies, too many changes of story, too many different scenarios, too many incorrect details.
And as much as I hate to say this, Fox News is no longer one whit more reliable than CNN or MSNBC. In case you’ve not noticed, easily half their links go straight to AOL, which sports a big banner on the top of the page announcing their new home at HuffPo.

That they left to live speaks to the humanity of the Navy Seals.

Obama will keep the Osama news cycle going at least through tomorrow when the April unemployment report comes out. It’s working beautifully for him as a distraction. The weekly unemployment numbers were horrible today but the media kept it out of public notice by Obama’s victory lap at GZ.

They monkey around with the unemployment numbers revising them and re-revising them and updating them that the numbers are essentially meaningless.
Frank H commented:
In the meantime, no one is questioning the veracity of the birth certificate, which seems to have credible detractors.
DG commented:
The true story has come out now that the SEALS have been debriefed. The WH was in such a hurry to get the story and decided to play Hollywood with the story –when they should have merely announced OB was killed, buried at sea, and details of the raid would be made official ONCE the SEALS had been debriefed. Instead the WH turned this into The Keystone Cops The SEALS did as they were ordered. Shoot to kill. End of story. Job well done. Mission Accomplished.

DG, what makes you think that this unattributed story from Fox has any more veracity than any one of the other half-dozen tales that have been told? There isn’t one word from a single participant and no more proof of anything than any of the other tall-tales.
Further, did you notice that the second half of the story, the one from Dawn (a Pakistani newspaper) utterly contradicts in the details of number of people killed and so forth ALL of the various versions that have been released by the WH?

retire05 commented:
DG, sorry, but those SEALs were debriefed Sunday night. Now, I don’t know how long it would have taken to fly back to Bagram, but that is where they immediately took OBL’s body. But assuming that the mission was over by 4:30 p.m., EST, and it took no longer than a couple of hours to return to base, by 10:30 p.m., those SEALs had been separated and had their after action reports taken, one by one, all at the same time, while the mission was still fresh in their minds to eliminate any possibility of them forgetting even the smallest detail.
By midnight, Obama should have had all 24 after action reports sitting on his desk.
Now, the changing stories continue. The new twist is that ObL “shoved” his wife into a SEAL and at that point she was shot. Quite different from the original story that she tried to protect her husband.
Also, why would the SEALs not take her? She had been married to ObL for ten years. Think she is not a treasure trove of intel? She is.
And the helicopters that were used by the SEALs have a 10-12 passenger capacity. There was (reportedly) 24 SEALs, so that would allow, even with one downed copter, three more to carry at least 30 passengers. But we are never going to know the truth, because this administration has taken a perfect story and managed to screw the pooch with it. Anything coming out now is simply to make Obama look good.
Granny commented:
#16 – Agreed, retire05, though you forgot one salient point. The original 4 helicopters that were reported magically changed to only 2, one of which was downed. Somehow, those 24 or so SEALS plus the flight crew of the downed chopper plus the TWO corpses (OBL and OBL Jr.) somehow managed to fit into that 12 passenger chopper.
Maybe the military has come up with some super-secret version of Hermione’s magic handbag!

valerie commented:
I think we ought to start making up our own stories. They would certainly be as solidly-sourced as the rest of what we’re getting, and who knows, they might be more fun. Here’s my contribution:
This entire show is just a huge distraction. The Obama administration, which is heavily concerned with the opinion of Muslims but still wants to get rid of the Islamists, is deliberately feigning stupidity and lack of both wit and co-ordination to lull their new targets into complacency. MEANWHILE, the SEALs and their dogs are creeping up on, not the MOST important people but the secondary and tertiary people mentioned on all those thumb drives recovered at the compound.
So far, the score is two Al-Qaeda leaders in Yemen, a surrender by one Saudi, and one Turk in Chechnya. Yes, those crafty Americans are not only rolling up the organization from the middle to the edges and center, they are SHARING some of the information with the RUSSIANS!!!!!
There ya go! Anybody else wanna try?
donh commented:
The most plausible story is the one nobody in the media dare report….That the seal team went rogue. You don’t train 7 months just to enter a compound and butcher somebody when a bomb would to that. The mission was to capture Bin Laden and put him in a bunk bed with KSM . Once inside, the team nullified orders, turned off the live feed, and helped Osama clear up his renal failure by sticking that vacume cleaner hose up his a**, yanked his beard, flagellated and killed him. Then they cut off Osama’s head for George Bush to put on display next to the Geronimo skull inside the Yale Skull & Bones temple. They wrapped his headless body in a shroud and dumped him into the sea so there would be no resurrection on the 3rd day.

suzy commented:
Yes, Granny, the tax dollars taken from 9/11 victim’s families was sent to Pakistan by obummer while he was in the Senate to build the million dollar mansion for bin Laden. Those islamists stick together a mansion in Chicago for obummer and one in Abottabad for his soul mate bin Laden.
davidr commented:
Remember: We need to be sensitive to the feeling of Muslims at this time. 0bama has had his moment of victory with the Bin Laden killing, but we don’t need to throw it in their faces by re-electing 0bama. That would just be spiking the ball.

Yup, he was obviously shot in the back – or had his head caved in. Couldn’t have been shot in the back of the head because his face is intact. And he is pretty newly dead – blood isn’t coagulated.

After first revising it downward LOL. More accurate is the misery index. The inflation index is useless too – they are not including the cost of food and fuel, which are two of the three categories showing the greatest inflation. (The other one is clothing, not sure they are including that either.)

suzy commented:
The way to read gov’t figures is to take the opposite view: gov’t says:no inflation; read there is inflation. gov’t says umemployment 10%; read 20%. gov’t says we got bin Laden; read bin Laden got us for big bucks. gov’t says obummer eligible to be POTUS; read NOT. Everything this gov’t say’s is false so act accordingly.
olm commented:
One more thing, thinking about this ridiculous situation that continues to unfold, if there is a successful terror attack (and there was an odd train derailment yesterday in Oregon) can you imagine how much worse this is going to get?
There was a bomb, there wasn’t a bomb, it was caught on tape, it wasn’t caught on tape, no causalties, no survivors, religion of peace, federal aid, no federal aid.
The possibilities are endless. The only guarantee is that there wouldn’t be a “good Muslim” involved. Maybe a good Jew or Christian.

The impeached is going to come from the gunrunning, if he lasts that long unless Issa gives up.

I was very surprised a week or so ago to visit a news site in Europe, where I discovered that HUGE tracts of the state of Texas are on fire. The pictures are horrendous. A couple of million acres. Texas asked Obama to declare a state of emergency so they could get help from FEMA. He kept them waiting for a week or so and finally yesterday or the day before declined to help.
Now, can you even begin to imagine what the vaunted “press” would have to say if President George W. Bush had DARED to turn down FEMA assistance for the largest state in the country?

watched a special on the fires (4/16/11) last night..
[Fires destroyed at least 60 homes Friday, burning across 655 square miles around the state, the Texas Forest Service said. Some of the fires have been burning for a week or more, including three in West Texas that have charred a combined 400,000 acres, the equivalent of more than half the state of Rhode Island.]

The Obama Administration cannot control information. Multiple versions of this story WERE ALL released by the WH, WH press secretary, and cabinet incompetents.
Obama thought that he would dazzle citizens with his only accomplishment EVER. Instead, it has backfired into doubt and distrust.
Obama risked the lives of our military to personally kill Osama instead of bombing him because HE WANTED TO VERIFY BIN LADEN’S DEATH.
If bin Laden is dead, show us the photos.

prairie fires are common this time of year when moisture is diverted to the north and east by prevailing upper atmosphere winds. april to june is the dry season and very little rain falls. has been going on for millions of years and we can’t change that. the size of a single fire can get as large as delaware but will burn itself out by lack of fuel and/or oxygen. not news.

B-S (OBama / OSama)…without the pics; w/out the proof of actual dna; there is NO PROOF in my eyes that anyone of importance was killed. ALSO……while we are on the subject of OBama….where were any other country’s when we got hit with the horrific storms in the southeast to help with the expense and search and supplies for the victims….NOWHERE….remember this when the next country is hit with storms and watch how fast we are on the front line with our celebrities and our government with all that is needed to help them….CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME……..2012 is just around the corner, lets make this the first time that OBama does not get any votes of any kind (except his family and I wonder who they vote for behind the closed curtain)…….GOD BLESS AND HELP AMERICA…
Petra commented:
Osama died of kidney failure in some cave in Afghanstan. People with kidney failure need a dialysis machine otherwise they die of uremic poisoning. This was a staged event. Even if whomever they ambushed they certainly weren’t asleep once the helicopters got close. All within the compound would be alerted and armed and the military barracks was just next door for heavens sake. Then we get to see their worried faces watching the event take place and it’s now we learn it’s fake. Next we don’t get to see his picture. Thre’ll be more to come but it’s a bunch of lies. Even the female president of Pakistan mentioned he was dead a couple of years ago before she was killed/murdered. I ain’t buying what they selling.

I’ve never been one to embrace conspiracy theories, but I have to ask what I have not yet seen or heard asked: WHY was there a need to produce fake photos to be shown to members of the U.S. senate, some or all who are on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee? WHY would that be done?

This is just pouring some bleach in the gene pool. They will hate us and want to kill us regardless of what we do. Kill them until the realize that their energies are better directed towards internal reform.
Joyce commented:
Well…without photographic PROOF, how do we know they didn’t kill and dump the son and whisk Osama off for some “enhanced interrogation” and THEN kill him…which I hope they did! The story has changed so many times, none of it is believable anymore.
It’s Adolph Hitler all over again isn’t it?
I’ve seen many documentaries they’ve done on the death of Hitler. He’s dead, he’s not dead. He committed suicide, he didn’t commit suicide. He was cremated and… buried, he was not cremated and buried. He escaped to Brazil, he didn’t escape. They found his burnt body, they didn’t find his body. His skull is in a museum, his skull is not. Everybody has proof, nobody has proof. There are photos of his dead body, it’s not his dead body. On and on and on. That’s where we are. Knowing how world politics works, Bin Laden will be given the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing the Pakistanis and Afghans together. He will be made chairman of the International Committee for the Establishment of Religious Tolerance. He will receive the highest award from the International Society of Structural Engineers for innovations in large structure demolition. He will be lauded in Women’s Wear Daily for his contribution to Arab haute couture. And a Hollywood film will be directed by Oliver Stone, portraying Usama’s bravery and cunningness in outwitting the US Navy Seal team sent to assassinate him, by jumping overboard and swimming back to Yemen with 120 pounds of granite chained to his legs. Meanwhile Obama will change his name to Osama and declare himself Holy Leader of the new Islamic Caliphate with Valerie Jarret as his consort and Reverend Wright as his Religious Advisor. And the best part, Michelle will look way better in a burqa than she does in any of the hideous outfits she normally wears.

BillP commented:
Petra is on the right track. Nice to hear a rational assessment.
My theory:
UBL did not survive his kidney failure and is long dead. Many attest to this fact.
Videos show a body double so it appears that the body double was housed with UBL’s sons, Hamza and Khalid.
Body double was killed and thrown in sea so no DNA evidence available to prove that it was not Usama or since some claim that the U.S. has UBL’s body, it may have been UBL’s old corpse thrown into sea so U.S. no longer has burden of hiding it, while perpetuating myth that UBL is alive.
Unconfirmed reports claim that the SEALS took Hamza bin Laden who is a known terror threat. Taking Hamza was most likely the objective but this event was used as an opportunity to end the old tired and incredible UBL is alive, myth. Even though the CIA now has Hamza, disinformation is released that Hamza has escaped, so the US stays on high alert for forthcoming attacks. Hamza now takes over his father’s role as threat to America and reason military spending needs to stay strong.
It’s all quite a show. Don’t be naive and believe the media. Not even FOX.
I support a strong military but can do without the absurd grand charade.
It is remarkable how many believe the MSM reports. Disinformation is effective.
