CIA and ISI Built bin-Laden Compound, Obama Ordered

Assasination in Live Feed

The United States shared with the Israelis the two-way wireless and satelite video feeds (provided by the
raiding party's helmet-cams and drop-down transmitters) of the assault on bin-Laden's compound. At a certain
point an officer is heard asking for instructions "from the Commander (in Chief Obama - SV)". Obama then
ordered him to "terminate target" (i.e, to kill bin-Laden) although this is not captured on tape. Obama gave the
lethal command from an underground situation room, flanked by Panetta, Clinton, Gates, and other senior
officials.

In 2001, shortly after the invasion of Afghanistan, the CIA whisked bin-Laden and his family to a safe haven in
Pakistan, among friendly tribesmen who served as guides and supplier for American special forces on the
ground. The CIA, in cahoots with Pakistan's ISI, then embarked on the construction of the compound that was
stormed on May 1, 2011. In 2005-6, bin-Laden and his family were transferred there and virtually imprisoned.
Bin-Laden was not allowed to carry weapons and he had no bodyguards. The entire fortress-like edifice was
locked from the outside. The CIA allowed only couriers to come and go with censored mail and minimal money
orders. One of the couriers was a Tunisian and the other Jordanian. They both collaborated with the Mossad and
with the CIA on multiple assignments.

The decision to assassinate bin-Laden was adopted after he was repeatedly heard threatening to expose what he
knew about various covert operations in the USA and elsewhere should he not be allowed free movement.

On May 1, 2011 Osama bin-Laden was allegedly shot in the head by Navy Seals during an operation in
Pakistan. The order came directly from US President Obama and he also monitored the firefight from the White
House Situation Room as it unfolded. Bin-Laden's body was first whisked away to Afghanistan where DNA
samples were taken and an autospy was performed. The cadaver was then returned to Pakistan and buried at sea.
Thus, we have only the word of the United States administration - not known for its veracity - that he is no
longer with us.

But, even if true, why wasn't bin-Laden taken alive? Presumably, had he been abducted, he would have proven
to be an invaluable source of intel on crucial national security issues facing the United States. A shot to the
head, execution-style, indicates orders to shoot to kill (as was later confirmed by the CIA and the military - SV).
Why give up such a cornucopia of information that cannot be obtained in any other way? To shut him up, of
course. A live bin-Laden would have had to be debriefed, interrogated, and then judged in a court of law or
military tribunal. To prevent multiple embarrassments and a myriad incriminating revelations involving multiple
administrations, he had to be disposed of summarily.

All powers are self-interested - but America is narcissistic. It is bent on exploiting and, having exploited, on
discarding. It is a global Dr. Frankenstein, spawning mutated monsters in its wake. Its "drain and dump" policies
consistently boomerang to haunt it.

Both Saddam Hussein and Manuel Noriega - two acknowledged monsters - were aided and abetted by the CIA
and the US military. America had to invade Panama to depose the latter and to molest Iraq for the second time
in order to force the removal of the former.
The Kosovo Liberation Army, an American anti-Milosevic pet, provoked a civil war in Macedonia tin 2001.
Osama bin-Laden, another CIA golem, restored to the USA, on September 11, 2001 some of the materiel it so
generously bestowed on him in his anti-Russian days.

Normally the outcomes of expedience, the Ugly American's alliances and allegiances shift kaleidoscopically.
Pakistan and Libya were transmuted from foes to allies in the fortnight prior to the Afghan campaign. Milosevic
has metamorphosed from staunch ally to rabid foe in days.

This capricious inconsistency casts in grave doubt America's sincerity - and in sharp relief its unreliability and
disloyalty, its short term thinking, truncated attention span, soundbite mentality, and dangerous, "black and
white", simplism.

In its heartland, America is isolationist. Its denizens erroneously believe that the Land of the Free and the Home
of the Brave is an economically self-sufficient and self-contained continent. Yet, it is not what Americans trust
or wish that matters to others. It is what they do. And what they do is meddle, often unilaterally, always
ignorantly, sometimes forcefully.

Elsewhere, inevitable unilateralism is mitigated by inclusive cosmopolitanism. It is exacerbated by

provincialism - and American decision-makers are mostly provincials, popularly elected by provincials. As
opposed to Rome, or Great Britain, America is ill-suited and ill-equipped to micromanage the world.

It is too puerile, too abrasive, too arrogant and it has a lot to learn. Its refusal to acknowledge its shortcomings,
its confusion of brain with brawn (i.e., money or bombs), its legalistic-litigious character, its culture of instant
gratification and one-dimensional over-simplification, its heartless lack of empathy, and bloated sense of
entitlement are detrimental to world peace and stability.

America is often called by others to intervene. Many initiate conflicts or prolong them with the express purpose
of dragging America into the quagmire. It then is either castigated for not having responded to such calls - or
reprimanded for having responded. It seems that it cannot win. Abstention and involvement alike garner it only
ill-will.

But people call upon America to get involved because they know it rises to the challenge. America should make
it unequivocally and unambiguously clear that - with the exception of the Americas - its sole interests rest in
commerce. It should make it equally known that it will protect its citizens and defend its assets, if need be by
force.

Indeed, America's - and the world's - best bet are a reversion to the Monroe and (technologically updated)
Mahan doctrines. Wilson's Fourteen Points brought the USA nothing but two World Wars and a Cold War
thereafter. It is time to disengage.
