After a week of the highly publicized death of Osama Bin Laden, the intentions of Obama's communications team about the disappearance of most wanted terrorist of our days, still not clear to me.
Two decades later of 9/11, it was necessary to redeem the failure of two different American administrations in the advancement of international terrorism, thesis that justified the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 under the pretense of dismantling the international terrorist network called Al Qaeda, responsible for systematic attacks against the United States of America.
Mysterious conditions surrounding his supposed death makes many of us feel skeptical about whether or not the body in question was of Bin Laden or if instead it is a publicity stunt. The Bush administration resorted to this tactic as an argument for the second invasion of Iraq under the false premise that Saddam Hussein had in his possession weapons of mass destruction.
This web of lies has been costly and widely documented, even brought to the big screen in a couple of occasions, resulting in scandals that have ended the political careers of people like Tony Blair, who had a strong credibility both within the United Kingdom and internationally, when he decided to succumb to pressure from George W. Bush to enlist the support of American voters in clear view to his re-election in the middle of a war.
Now, Why not be skeptical to another potential promotional campaign from Washington?, Who gains from it?, What proof have Washington shown to the world public opinion of the death of Osama Bin Laden?, after all, Al Qaeda not only struck terror and death in the United States, but around the world.
Only time will tell us about the truth of the facts with respect to the fugitive, I doubt his death will reduce the impact of man beyond the name, however his cult will multiply exponentially. I would like to quote a few lines of Mazzetti and Shane published by the New York Times on May 5, 2011 "Many intelligence analysts and terrorism experts concluded that (Osama Bin Laden) had been relegated to an inspirational figure with a small role in Al Qaeda operations and future. "
The damage done to the American citizens in regard to their security, does not merit the benefict made by this administration in exchange for a percentage increase in the voters intention, ahead of an electoral year.
