Osama Bin Laden video and photos of death in Abbottabad, do they really exist?

"To see is to believe!" That's what people are saying to believe that al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden is dead.

People from all over the world want Osama Bin Laden dead body photos, his burial video and a Bin Laden tape or the shooting video in Abbottabad compound in Pakistan.

But U.S. President Barack Obama is strongly against the release of Osama Bin Laden death photos.

CIA director Leon Edward already said in an interview, as reported on CNN, that it's important to release Osama Bin Laden dead body photos to erase doubts on the al Qaeda leader's death. He also said that it's most likely that one photo will be released but it's all up to the White House to make the final decision.

And the decision came. U.S. President Barack Obama has decided not to release the photos, and videos (including the Bin Laden's sea burial video).

In an interview with Steve Kroft for "60 Minutes", a news magazine program on CBS Network, Obama said that the release of Osama Bin Laden dead body photos, which he described as "very graphic", will pose threats to the national security of the U.S. and they might be used as a propaganda tool against the American government.

Obama assures everyone that it was really Osama who was killed because they did DNA sampling and testing to make sure that it was him.
Here's an excerpt from Obama's "60 Minutes" interview which will be aired this Sunday, May 8, 7 PM, on CBS:

STEVE KROFT: Did you see the pictures?

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Yes.

KROFT: What was your reaction when you saw them?

OBAMA: It was him.

KROFT: Why haven't you released them?

OBAMA: You know, we discussed this internally. Keep in mind that we are absolutely certain this was him. We've done DNA sampling and testing. And so there is no doubt that we killed Osama bin Laden. It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence. As a propaganda tool. You know, that's not who we are. You know, we don't trot out this stuff as trophies. You know, the fact of the matter is this was somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received. And I think-- Americans and people around the world are glad that he's gone. But we don't need to spike the football. And I think that given the graphic nature of these photos, it would create some national security risk. And I've discussed this with Bob Gates and Hillary Clinton and my intelligence teams and they all agree.

KROFT: There are people in Pakistan, for example, who say, "Look, this is all a lie. Obama, this is another American trick. Osama's not dead."

OBAMA: You know, the truth is that and we -- we're monitoring worldwide reaction. There's no doubt that Bin Laden is dead. Certainly there's no doubt among al Qaeda members that he is dead. And so we don't think that a photograph in and of itself is going to make any difference. There are going be some folks who deny it. The fact of the matter is, you will not see bin Laden walking on this Earth again.


Do you agree with Pres. Barack Obama's decision not to release the photos?

Inverted Philippine flag (upside down) at Obama-Aquino meeting

The first ever meeting of US President Barack Obama and Philippine
President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III last Friday has created a
controversy due to an inverted Philippine flag.



As seen in the photo above, the inverted Philippine flag was positioned behind President Noynoy during his meeting with Obama and other ASEAN leaders.

The Philippine flag was displayed upside down (with the red part on top of blue), it connotes that the country is declaring a war or in state of war.

Realizing the major major mistake, US Embassy spokesperson Rebecca Thompson immediately issued an apology on Sunday and stated that it
was an honest mistake.

It's unknown who first took notice of the inverted Philippine flag but definitely it's not Pres. Noy who obviously didn't notice it 'coz if he did, he should have corrected it before he positioned himself at Obama's table.

With that, maybe it must be a practice from now on for the President and for any government officials to always check the Philippine flag.

Obama, Madonna to visit the Philippines this 2010

US President Barack Obama and Queen of Pop Madonna are reportedly coming to the Philippines.

That's according to socialite and TV host Tim Yap, who first shared the scoop on Twitter.

Though Tim did not cite where he got the scoop, but from the way it was tweeted, it's very much certain to happen. "Okay, here's a SCOOP. And again, you heard it FIRST FROM ME. You know who's coming to Manila before the year ends? Obama AND Madonna," he said.

Notice that there's an emphasis on the word "AND". Does it mean they're coming together?

Together or not, it's indeed so much of a blessing to have Obama and Madonna here in the Philippines.

Obama's visit will be for sure political-related but for Madonna, it's
either she'll stage a concert or she'll be here talking about child advocacy. Or maybe she'll adopt a Filipino child. Which one do you like Madonna to do?

In August, also being expected to visit the Philippines is Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio for an environmental awareness program. He'll be staying for 1 week at Misibis Bay Resort in Albay, Bicol Region.

Tim Yap was also the one who shared that Boys Over Flowers' Jun Pyo or Lee Min Ho MIGHT come to Manila next month.Source URL: https://wallpaperimporting.blogspot.com/search/label/BARACK%20OBAMA
