The most unbelievable conspiracy theory....

[Pockets]

...that I know about is the explanation for why Osama Bin Laden can't be found.

"Oh, he moves around, and hides in caves."

B.S.

There has to be a money trail. He is surrounded by bodyguards. He must have outside contacts to handle monetary and other transactions. The reward for turning him in is a fortune. We have DNA and satellite technology and other types of surveillance technology that is unimaginable.

Total crap.

1. I don't know- I just heard Michael Moore is PART of IT too

I am ready to post another from a looneytarian I know who thinks it was a mihop/lihop by the government and get THIS- MICHAEL MOORE is IN ON IT too.

Now his reasoning, irrefutable supposedly, and I have not had a chance to have him explicate is this:

Moore had access to certain areas of Ground Zero to make some of his documentary, and another, unnamed as yet, documentarian was DENIED access to those same areas of Ground Zero. When this unnamed documentarian confronted Michael Moore in the same manner that he confronts people in his (Moore's) documentaries, Moore was VERY EVASIVE the same way that people are when Moore confronts them in his documentaries !!

I guess this means Moore was in on the 911 planning, and now the coverup.

This 'friend' frequents wacky libertarian, and gun-nut, survivalist websites, so I am certain this is where he has picked up this 'logic'.

For the record, I see all kinds of LIHOP, at the least, in certain facets of 911. So I have encouraged him to speak up, but it just floors me that he is convinced that Michael Moore is A 911 conspirator, or cover-up enabler. :shrug:

3. Frankly I would have thought

that the Moon landing hoax conspiracy theory is the most unbelievable theory.

But that's just me.

4. I was being sarcastic, tongue and cheek, or whatever....

My point was that it makes me suspicious that OBL can't be found. People who scoff at conspiracy theorists should also scoff at rationale the administration uses for why OBL can't be found, because the logic is equally weak.

5. Not caves

Ever since Tora Bora he is most likley hiding in urban areas of Pakistan, aided by the ISI and lots of cash.

6. How did he manage to get there

and why doesn't the US demand him from its alley Pakistan?

7. For the same reason

that congressional Republicans are stewing over the "nuclear" option right now: a large part of their power depends on a devil's bargain with fundamentalist rightwing kooks.

In the case of US and Pakistan, Mushareff maintains power by placating fundamentalist Muslims, who use that card to protect Osama. Bush is in bed with Musharef, and Pakistan has the bomb. So going after Osama appears to be a grenade pin that even Bush won't dare to pull out. It's Noriega III, in other words. (Saddam was Noriega II)

You don't get into bed with the dictators you want...
