Has Osama Bin Laden been dead for seven years - and are the U.S. and Britain covering it up to continue war on terror?

Quote:
Obama's Jewish Polish advisor Zbigniew Brezinski founded AllCIAduh, hanging out with USAma Bin Laden in Pakistan (Village Voice 1981 when CIA agent Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro was illegally in Pakistan)
"Regret what? That secret operation (the CIA backing of Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorists) was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?"
-Zbigniew Brzezinski, Le Nouvel Observateur, Jan, 1998
"I've learned an immense amount from Dr. Brzezinski."
-Hussein Obama, 12 Sept 2007

Dont you think its strange we have a "president" named "Obama" that sounds like Osama?

The quotes hit at the heart of the matter, wish I could watch the embedded videos. There is just one thing: a lot of people on the left are simply going to be turned off to this message by the "Osama" "Obama" name comparison.
Those who supported Obama in the elections heard that comparison too many times, it tends to provoke a reaction of disbelief to anyone who points that out.
Myself, I think the name similarity is coincidence, they were born in two different places and cultures.

1. Osama bin Laden, prince turned spy turned revolutionary, RIP, was never involved in terrorist attacks against the united states. His worst offense was drug trafficking to fund his war, of which he himself was a victim, he died of liver failure.
2. Osama and Obama are relatively common names in their shared culture. Osama bin Laden is a Yemeni, and Yemen was part of the east african empire of upper egypt, as was the sudan, from where Obama's family hails. Both men are of mixed black east african and white blood, albeit it unrelated white races. Both cultures became muslim during the madness that followed the death of Mohammed.
3. Two people from the same cultural background says nothing. All of us are from the same cultural background, or a lot closer than the *parents* of Obama and Osama. Osama himself seems to have spent some time growing up in Sweden, and Obama of course is from Hawaii.
4. Any in depth study into these two individuals reveals that they have nothing at all in common. Here's hoping that history doesn't prove me otherwise, as Osama was a tragic and ineffectual individual, whose importance on the global scene is vastly exaggerated by others for political gain. In a very different way, the same could be said of Gorbachev, and also of Hoover. The last is Obama's potential fate.
5. No, I'm not even going to go to any Obama is Osama or anything remotely related to that, I'd sooner appoint Kanye West ambassador to the UN...
Edit:
Barack(Hebrew): Lightning, shine
Obama(Luo): Crooked, slightly bending. One who goes against the grain. A maverick.
Osama(Farsi derivation of east african/arabic): The lion.
bin Laden, son of Laden, which appears to mean thoughtful or thinking. This was the hardest name to find.

Looked it up, and looks like I'm still thinking too geographical, not enough tribal. Sudan is the country just to the north of Kenya... But it's a big country, and also borders Egypt. Likely to be some genetic dispersion between Kenya and north African races, but a common background culture seems possible.

Chris,
lol
Byte,
The Obama family is Luo. The Luo are from central Sudan, the Yemeni from Eritea, but these borders were drawn by european invaders quite recently. If you trace back to biblical times, around first millenia BC ish, both regions would have been part of the empire of axum, one of the kingoms of upper egypt, black african civilizations that were in many ways the successor states to ancient egypt and still are.
These tribes are part of a larger nubian ethnic group, no relation to american blacks, who are almost universally of west african descent.
The african expansion into the peninsula was so advances across the eastern banks of the red sea that it actually bordered Judah, the ancient enemy of Israel. I strongly suspect this is where the attitude on race is coming from in the old testament. The OT is very fierce against the enemies of judah or judea, and if you can name them, than the world political picture unravels in an uncomfily eerie manner.
but yes, Obama's and Osama's fathers would be distantly related, more so than they would to the rest of us. Osama has much arab blood of course, and appears *mostly* white, though probably darker than Beyonce Knowles. Many Yemeni are quite dark. Osama was born to Yemeni parents working in Riyadh.
Obama is also a Dunham, and is of anglo-saxon ancestry, as one of the germanic families of england, though his grandfather was from moneygal, ireland, making him a celt.
I'm pretty good with faces, so it was easy for me to peg these two:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madelyn_Payne
just as it was obama himself.
What we should be asking ourselves is "Is our president too German?"
Seriously, genetics don't determine a lot here. Culturally, both spent much of their youth wandering the world, though Osama was more upper class. Most of their more recent lives, however, Osama was living in Afghanistan and Sudan; Obama in Hawaii and Chicago.
In time spent, certainly Osama is the more African of the two, spending a good portion of his life there, Obama spent very little time in Africa, mostly just visiting relatives.
None of this is leading anywhere at all. I'm just countering John's layout of selective information with a wider array of more accurate information, I could go on forever, I just wanted to cast a perspective on this.
Overall I have a fairly neutral view of Osama, and fairly positive view of Obama, but I blame both of them for pointless bloodshed in war. I also blame Osama for a decent amount of drug trade, though not actual terrorism, and I worry that Obama might lead us into a recession, mostly because he's surrounded by economic wolves and doesn't seem to have a solid grasp of the field himself.

" I also blame Osama for a decent amount of drug trade "
Pre US invasion the only part of Afghanistan that was producing / exporting opium in any major quantity was under the control the Northern Alliance ie the US allies that now control the Afghan government.
The Taliban actually done a serious job of kicking the drug / warlords out...

I was aware of this. I would place Osama certainly on the Northern Alliance side, as he was on their side in the Soviet War, and had more than a few choice words to say about the Taliban. He was also a US ally at the time. I'm not sure that really ever changed. By the time we made him into a boogieman he was already so sick it didn't matter. I can't help but think that some sort of family connection here.

Only challenging your statement putting the blame on OBL for the boost in the drug trade, I could point at the Bush occupation team and the Alphabet goons Frem likes to talk about as having 100X more to do with it.
And both sides were united against the Soviets, it was only after they pulled out and the country fell to pieces they began to oppose each other. While OBL really choose neither side, his connections and support really came more from the Taliban side... and that probably had more to do with why he was " made a boogieman "

Not absolving the US who can easily do it without Osama, but we needn't be so buried in self blame that it becomes egotism. Osama had a large organization which he used to plant, refine and traffic opium, and mostly to finance his own operation. Intermittently, those guys, known colloquially as "Al Qaeda" are working for us. Little known fact: They are working for us right now in Afghanistan, officially, and helping us against the Taliban and possibly Iran. They're a total pain in the ass to Iran, more so than anyone outside of Afghanistan and Pakistan, though lately the Taliban is being more of a pain in Pakistan, and of course, the US is being a pain all over that area.
I think Niki should be able to weigh in here.

While Al Qaeda is a grouping of other organizations and some of which surely have some connection to the drug trade, I can't seem to find a pre 2001 cite linking drugs to Al Qaeda.
As boogiemen go, the US always seems to link drugs and their enemies so I am not really sure about media reports after that, the propaganda machine is loud enough to overcome the truth... whatever that truth might be.

How lovely to see educated, knowledgeable people trying to understand! It's actually pretty complicated and confusing. As to the drug trade:Quote:
I would say "did" more than "done", as they're actually profiting from it now...

Okay. From what the Afghan friends I know have to say (and I've checked it and included facts from a bunch of internet sites, which I obviously put more faith in than the MSM. Most of those I know have been here for ages now--like one guy in his twenties who was born here and only knows what his father told him--and what they knew/remember isn't always the same):
The Taliban initially outlawed poppy growth in 2000, since drugs are against Islamic law, and the Taliban was largely Mullah-driven. Production went waaaay down under them. But the minute we invaded, it started going up now. Now the Taliban take their “cut” (as do the Afghan officials so they will overlook the fields), and justify it by saying they send it out to the “infidels” rather than for Muslim consumption. Which of course is bullshit—I don’t know what the current estimate of Afghan addicts is, but I’ll bet it’s high. Yes, you bet is the US is highly involved…the people I know say the farmers are paid by underlings or some other way that they don’t actually see who buys it. Wouldn’t matter; easy enough to hire Afghans to pretend to be the only “bosses”. Supposedly the figures I’ve seen say Afghanistan produces between 90% and 92% of the opium in the world; can you imagine America passing that up?
The farmers THEMSELVES don’t make a great profit, they get paid very little—but “very little” is better than subsistence level, so who can blame them, with their country bombed into worse poverty than it was already? Given the drug trade is the third biggest moneymaker in the world, after oil and arms sales…why would we even imagine the US HASN’T got it’s finger in the pie? Corruption is a way of life there, always has been, more, and more openly than we at home are familiar with. There’s rumor that Karzai’s own brother is a drug lord, and hey, ho; we haven’t arrested anyone on drug charges since 2

Not to nitpick, but look hard? several came up on the first search I did
http://www.emperors-clothes.com/news/binl.htm
But I knew. I wasn't guessing.
Whatever we do is somewhat irrelevant, I use us neither as a primary information source nor a moral compass. I think everyone has suspected the CIA is in drug trafficking for years. The whole "port inspection" issue was about drugs.
Bin Laden didn't really start his farming operation to "grow potatoes" as he put in an interview, because he was trying to fund a revolution, not something you can do on potato sales, just ask the Irish.
Also, his guys get arrested all the time for opium trafficking. This isn't a big mystery.
I don't think we always peg our enemies as drug traffickers. Nazis, Soviets, China, Japan, Saddam Hussein. I'm not even sure we do it to "also ran" bad guys, Chavez, Kim Jong Il, I just think it's a pretty widespread practice, so we *do* bring it up when it's true, because it helps make the case against someone.
(Whether or not anyone says it about Chavez, it's likely, his Bolivarian allies do, Evo Morales openly supports the idea.)
But I don't hear this floated against the new enemy #1, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, because it would be an absurd claim. Even Bush, who had made a lot of *really* questionable claims backed away from the truly absurd. I don't have any sympathy for Bush, but just a couple quotes I remember from press conferences, responding to MSM people who had made radical links:
"Saddam Hussein doesn't have a connection to 9/11, but he does have links to international terrorism"
"Iran and Al Qaeda, that doesn't even make sense, the Iranians are Shiia, Al Qaeda is a Sunni organization. No, I don't know why anyone would think that"
Just illustrating that there is a level beyond which even the most absurd America propaganda attacks won't go. Sure, we'll say "Iran has a secret nuclear missile program" and maybe they do. Maybe Obama is a secret muslim. Don't care, but could be. But no one is saying "Somalia has a secret nuclear program." With what? A dictionary and My Friend Flicka?

from your link
" But the National Liberation Army (NLA), a splinter of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), also has another motive: It is fighting to keep control over the region's drug trafficking, which has grown into a large, lucrative enterprise since the Kosovo war. In addition to drug money, the NLA also has another prominent venture capitalist: Osama bin Laden. The Muslim terrorist leader, according to a document obtained by The Washington Times and written by the chief commander of the Macedonian Security Forces, puts out the front money for the rebel group through a representative in Macedonia: 'This person is representative of Osama Ben laden sic , who is the main financial supporter of the National Liberation Army, where up to date he has paid $6 million to $7 million for the needs of the National Liberation Army.'"
Just states the KLA were into drug money, and also OBL gave them money...
Mind you the US went to war with Serbia to prop up the KLA...... so.....

Bingo. It's just the latest iteration of the old "Triangle Trade", whereby the alphabet boys bring the drugs into the U.S. (and no, they don't EVER get searched) to sell here in order to finance their other illegal little wars elsewhere. They actually view this as killing two enemies - the junkies here, and the enemy "over there", wherever that happens to be this week.
In Vietnam, it was heroin brought in, sold here, and used to finance off-the-books wars in places like Africa and the Middle East. In the 80s, it was coke brought in from Columbia, Bolivia, and Peru through Panama (How'd GHW Bush "know" Noriega was a drug dealer and money launderer? Because we'd been doing business with him for years!) and sold to finance our little ventures in places like Nicaragua and El Salvador (later it was moved into the crack cocaine trade, with inner-city blacks as the "target" audience, setting up gang wars pitting blacks against each other). Now it's heroin again, and the money's being used to finance more off-the-books adventures...
The game never changes, just the players and locations.
