bin Laden admired the news as translated on the publicly funded British Broadcasting Company, whose former employees have squealed on the collective mindset of these people. BBC is guilty of "massive left wing bias."
bin Laden was depending on the Democrats in Congress to do his will and was disappointed when they didn't withdraw troops from Afghanistan; in addition, he despises the capitalist influence of "big corporations," just as this administration has striven to bring all corporations under federal controls and regulations. An advocate for a caliphate in which only hardline religionists have control, the wealthy bin Laden did not want business to thrive. An upcoming video of Osama to be released soon is said to contain discussion in "which he talks about the bad US policies and talks about how bad the capitalism is ..." which corresponds to the rise of the left in this country.
bin Laden was a fan of leftist Noam Chomsky, who frequently rails against liberty, the policies of the United States and our Constitution. A 9/11 truther, Chomsky believes it is uncontroversial that Bush's "crimes vastly exceed bin Laden’s" and that there was no proof that bin Laden was behind al Qaeda and 9/11, a theory which admittedly fits with being a 9/11 truther.
bin Laden admired Jimmy Carter, whose behavior and positions have been pretty much crazed and out of touch with reality the last few years. Filled with resentment following his presidency and lack of a second term, Carter seems to have a problem with Jews and democracies and thinks terrorists (some of them anyway) are really friendly.
It's pretty eye opening, frankly, and should (but won't) be a wake up call for those who now claim they're happy bin Laden is gone and that the assassination was legal because it was in national self defense. Indeed, those who previously eschewed war and its consequences now speculate that the death is bringing Democrats together.
Having previously prosecuted Navy Seals for the crime of slugging a terrorist and currently prosecuting individuals in the CIA who gleaned the information that was used to get bin Laden, Holder justifies whatever his legal maneuvers with whatever rationale he cherry picks. In fact, there is so much concern that Holder may prosecute the Navy Seals Team Six for killing bin Laden that it is a topic of conversation all around the web.
They should relax. Prosecuting THOSE Seals would interfere with Obama's reelection plans and, as we have sadly learned, Justice apparently isn't blind to that fact.
> Noam Chomsky, who frequently rails against liberty
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly reading Chomsky wrong. The only thing he rails about is the liberty of the *powerless*. So he speaks against the "liberty" of the powerful - rich countries or large corporations. You can dislike him of being the opposite of Ayn Rand (who I assume you respect), but to say he is against liberty itself is silly. Unfortunately, it looks like the word liberty is appropriated by people towards whatever political view they happen to have (left or right).
> a theory which admittedly fits with being a 9/11 truther.
It is not enough to say AQ proof is not enough to be a Truther. Truthers believe that Bush & Co did it. I doubt that Chomsky subscribes to that. I think he is more of the opinion that the event was given a narrative that fit their political agenda.
BTW, I don't consider myself left or right. The above is a clarification of terms, not politics.
