If Osama isn't dead why isn't he speaking out to make the U.S. look stupid?

To be fair, he could be alive but in some CIA torture prison in Eastern Europe.

Anyone who believes Obama would go on tv and lie to the American people about this is a FUCKING MORON. MORON.

That works too. Either way he's no harm to anyone anymore.

So, when does Layton attach choke collars to these rookies in order to preserve his one little, tiny chance at political power?

He needs to 'Harper' these guys!

[Thanos]

The fun part is that Mulcair isn't a rookie. He's #2 in the line of succession behind Layton.

I'm sure he can ask the man with real experience doing just that, Stephen Harper when they meet next.
I was actually impressed that not hear of even one CPC candidate making incredibly foolish remarks about abortion, capital punishment, RCMP turbans or the metric system throughout the whole campaign. Layton's gonna have to do the same to his extremists.

Different president, but

Yes, Clinton lied about that one, part of the reason I have a low opinion of politicians.

[PostFactum]

Well, if to speak about what US are exactly doing, we have only few points:

1) Bin is really dead and government want to inform international society about that.
2) Obama warms his place before US president elections and is already trying to show that he was doing something during his presidency:if he's not good in economy, maybe he'll be better in war.
3)Bin Laden is not dead, making this trick, they want to detect him and kill without any unnecessary noise.

Actually I think the first one belonged to Ruth Brosseau. And the second and now possably the third. This one is way down the list.

At least she is nice to look at.

Well I'd have to agree with you there but according to the people in Berthier-Maskinongé part of the problem is that they haven't had a chance to look at her. She's no where to be seen.

I for one believe the official story, but I must admit understanding the idea that bin Laden is still alive; in custody, but alive. Dead men tell no tales, and I'm sure the U.S. wants al-Quaeda to think their secrets are still safe.

I'm not sure what the official story is anymore,

I think, just for the sake of tactics, that arresting him would have been better for the Americans. I'm sure he wouldn't be very helpful, but it'd have to be more helpful than a corpse. He's just a human being - he's not any more 'dangerous' than anyone else can be so I don't think that killing him immediately was the 'best' approach to this. Effective, certainly. Some information may be gone forever though.

Perhaps the Americans figured he had nothing special in his little head.

All things being equal yes, it would have been cool to take him alive. I would like to see the look on his face when he is aboard an American aircraft carrier and we could have shown the world that OBL is a good deal less than the holy Islamic Warrior bit.

Totally different circumstances. Lying about who shined your pole (which ought to be none of the American people's business to begin with) is clearly not comparable to addressing the nation about a military operation and international incident. Nope, "Not in the same league, not even the same goddamn sport," as Samuel L. Jackson once opined.

His 'extremists'? You mean Layton's Deputy Party Leader? Didn't you vote NDP?
