US releases video of bin Laden found at Pakistan compound
The U.S. military on Saturday released five videos of Osama bin Laden that were found in the compound where the terrorist leader was killed by American troops.
The videos are a glimpse of the life bin Laden was living in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
In one, which looks like a home movie, bin Laden is wearing a black cap and is wrapped in a blanket. He is holding a TV remote and appears to be watching news coverage of himself on the television screen.
Three of the other videos appear to be rehearsals for the taped messages that bin Laden issued during his years in hiding.
One of the videos is a message to the United States, which U.S. intelligence officials believe was taped between October and November of 2010.
The Pentagon did not release the audio of the tapes, only the images.
The White House has decided not to release photos of bin Laden's body after he was shot by the special forces troops who raided the compound.
The videos released Saturday are the first public release of material collected after the raid.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a security bulletin to local law enforcement earlier in the week because evidence of an "aspirational" plot against the U.S. rail system had been discovered in Pakistan compound.
lol.......how convenient!! You can't do any facial recognition with the behind angle. So we have a fellow in a blanket with a long beard watching OBL news coverage. We have no definitive understanding of where this video was taken, although they "think" it is in the compound. In the supposed time frame of Oct 2010 to Nov 2010, what was going on that OBL was on every satellite channel for him to sit back and view himself?
How convenient that there is no audio!! What could the people hear? This OBL character yelling at the TV? No possible voice recognition match from that either.

They didn't want people to see that terrible freezer burn.

Those million dollar mansion/compounds aren't all they're cracked up to be. I think I'll stick with my hovel, thanks.

The guy with the remote isn't recognizable, you cannot actually see what is on the TV screen, and according to the FBI, the real Osama was left-handed, while the man in the video is using his right hand for the remote control.
But other than that, a very convincing picture! Really. I mean it! Splendid work (for the government). Much better than that passport photo over at the Daily Mail!, I mean, just look at those walls! Clearly this is the inside of a million dollar mansion! :)

I'm a high-line contractor and I know quality construction when I see it. That fancy electrical system didn't come cheap. It's not just any electrician that can ticky-tack extension cords & power strips to the wall like that. We're talkin' big bucks here, people!
You're looking at about about a thousand dollar an hour avant-garde interior decorator who came up with that puke over baby shit two tone paint job. You'd have to travel to the tenements of New York or D.C. to find something like that. And just look at those lovely antique furniture pieces!
And you're not going to strut into Walmart and find a fancy 19 inch CRT TeeVee like that at any price. Sheesh, get on the O'boingo bandwagon already, and bask in all his glory.

Having had the opportunity to look at bin Laden's "million dollar mansion" numerous times, I've come to the conclusion that should I need employment down the road, I'll seriously consider becoming a real estate agent in Pakistan. If that pile of shit goes for a mil, the commission is a cool $75k, give or take. Not a bad gig.

Don't you think you should get at least 100K to unload that $#it pile on some unsuspecting goof for mil? They should be more than happy to give anyone 10% to sell those "mansions."

I know I'd have given my left nut to have my name on that job.

Seriously? He is a millionaire! He can afford a better TV than that little thing! Even the computer monitor to the side is bigger than that TV!
Are they just so fucking stupid to expect that people will buy this? Have the Jews inbred so much that they really are fucking morons about obvious things?
If Countrywide was still in business, Angelo Mozilo (he of the perpetual tan) would have given a 'connected' politician a mortgage for 110% of the assessed value for that dump. IIRC, Senator Dowd bought a castle in Ireland thanks to Angelo.
At about 1:28 I think I saw a screen flash of O'boingo. Are they trying to say Usama is still alive? There was no Obama/Usama coverage until the make-believe Usama was killed.

For what I send to deecee, I demand much better garbage than this.
Somewhere in Kenya, a village is still missing its idiot.
This latest CF should be thoroughly picked apart by Monday noon Saturday night.

We'd have to giv'em an F- for production value on this one.
The moon-walks were real in comparison.
I wonder which Jew in the White House dressed up like Osama for this video. And to think Nixon was drove out of office for something as minor as some tape recordings of the opposition! Nixon was a saint and a genius compared to these idiots.
seriously...well, the reporter gets it right when she says we're going to see an OBL we've never seen before"
You know you're in trouble when the high point of the video was the two women commentators gushing on about how he stroked his beard a little with his left hand. Some pretty major anticlimax there.
Is that bin aHiden's cubby hole in the WH basement? Obama really should buy him some new furniture.
Give me a break. WHO would film "bin Laden" watching TV for that long if it really WERE him? It isn't even good "B" movie material.
"The real deal is this: the royalty controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen
