You don't have to prove a negative shitbrick. You have to prove that he is dead. Iran announced that they launched a monkey into space and got him back alive. Do you believe that story? Afterall their "president" said it was true, their state sponsored media said it was true, it was on the Internet but some people have their doubts based on Irans track history of exaggerated claims.

Right now, all we have is the government's word on the story. Pardon me if that's not good enough. Government lies. And if we were really concerned about not further enraging the Muslim world, we would quit bombing them indiscriminately. Or releasing stupid videos, or quit trying to run guns to the one side of the terrorists, etc. etc. etc. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyOK. Then I will ask YOU the same question.

OK. Then I will ask YOU the same question. What level of proof WOULD satisfy you that OBL was dead?Cool how that works, isn't it? It's nice to be king. You can make up anything, and discredit anyone who questions it. If the government had a history of integrity and honesty, it would be different. But it doesn't, and it's not.
And seeing as how the only witnesses to his death were government agents (i.e., military or CIS), you are going to be stuck with accepting the word of somebody from the government. There is NO independent 3rd party eyewitness who can testify to the contrary. Originally Posted by ExNYer

The fake dead Bin Laden photos shown on that website were posted on the Internet and send around in e-mails by ordinary assholes playing around with Photoshop. Yet the video claims - with giving ANY proof - that the fake photos were circulated by the FBI or CIA or the White House.
The truth is that the government refuses to release ANY Bin Laden photos because they don't want to enrage even more Islamic terrorists. But a lot of jerks are not satisfied with that, they actually want to stir up shit. So they fill in the gaps by creating their own fake Bin Laden photos to satisfy the morbid curiosity of other assholes. And now still other jerks swear that those fake photos are evidence of a government coverup.
Childish and disgusting.
You would be satisfied by that level of nonsense.

Because there has to be something that you would accept, otherwise you are just pretending to be seeking the truth. If there is nothing that would satisfy you, then you essentially have an unshakeable pseudo-religious belief that cannot be shaken by empirical evidence. So it is a waste of time discussing anything with you.
So spell it out specifically. How about the ACTUAL photos taken by the SEALs? If a court ordered them to be released, would that be good enough? But how would you know that those were not also fake? Originally Posted by ExNYer

Really? Who says they didn't take photos? Were you there?You might see photos and videos of Combat Footage, but thats all you're seeing. You have no real knowledge of what they discovered or what they saw. You're only going by what the Government tells you. You and all the others are going to believe what the Government proposes to be true because they are the Government, not because what they report is accurate.
I see photos and videos all over the Internet of combat footage taken by the troops involved.
So, where is your PROOF that they did NOT take photos. The books that were released on the Bin Laden raid indicate that the SEALs DID take photos. And those photos are being kept by the government.
That si the testimony of the actual eyewitnesses. Who do you have besides conspiracy mongering websites. Originally Posted by ExNYer

Like I said, it's good to be king. I'm glad you love the government, ExNYer. I guess you didn't read Post #47 above, huh? I do not love government. But if you are convinced that they never lie, you've already overdosed on the Kool Aid. Again, refer to Post #47 above. I do not say I thought the government never lies.
