  • Yes, and I pointed out a logical consequence of your definition, namely that military operations would be, or involve, conspiracy, and you denied that consequence, leading me to wonder what you meant since you are contradicting yourself.

    'military operations would be, or involve, conspiracy'

    Military operations are necessarily secretive, this does not make them a conspiracy.

  • "On Osama bin Laden: He's the face the media have decided to put on terror,
    but it doesn't mean he's actually running the operation. It's kind of like Kentucky
    Fried Chicken. Just because the Colonel's picture's on the bucket, doesn't mean
    he's actually making the chicken."

  • This must the reason why the latest KFC ad is so bloody sad.

  • Anyway, I've had a bbq and will soon be at the pub.

    P.S. This is just a coverup to hide the fact that the US has just invaded Switzerland.

  • where have i been?

    Looking at chrome footwear.

  • I've just been at KFC actually.

    Exactly. That is what I was getting at when I said "I don't think entertaining the possibility that the timing of the attack was determined by a significant public event in the UK amounts to endorsing any kind of conspiracy theory." But you disagreed. Now you seem to be agreeing.

  • ITV have just announced that, due to an extended edition of the news on this very topic, You've Been Framed will not be broadcast.

    Emmerdale however will still be shown.

  • oh my. going to eat, yay.

  • On a serious note, the only 'conspiracy' here is the faked photo of a 'dead' OBL that isn't getting enough attention. A conspiracy theory acts as a persuasion from the truth; if proven to be true, it's no longer a conspiracy. You have to ask yourself what the motivation is to, firstly, suggest producing a fake photo of OBL dead is a good idea, and second, to actually carry it out. It's been proven to be a fake, therefore a conspiracy. Revealing the conspiracy is to reveal the truth.

  • The guy on the ground who was tweeting about helicopters keeping him awake reported one of them crashed after being shot down, there's video of a massive fire on the ground, local Pakistani military also said there was a crash on a training flight.

    The full story of this raid won't come out for months; get the good news out first and save the fuck ups till later.

    I think the idea that the timing of the attack was determined by a significant public event in the UK amounts to endorsing a kind of conspiracy theory.

    I do not think military operations are necessarily conspiracies.

    The UK is not alone in this business of ascribing the events to a local event, American conspiracists are busying themselves trying to shoe horn his death into the idea that it's all an electioneering ploy by Obama to rally support and destroy the Republicans, the British are proffering some silly idea that it was planned and timed around the Royal wedding, the Indian's think it has all been orchestrated by Pakistan to stop the US flipping to India as their main ally in the region . . each country seemingly placing themselves at the centre of this event.

  • Surely it has been done so they (US, UK, etc) can announce some more "terror law" changes required due to the 'new threat' likely to be present in retaliation?

    I think it is not getting 'enough' attention because most people can see it's probably just some photoshop job knocked up by some bored teenager.

  • I wholeheartedly disagree.

    I doubt it was done for those reasons, but of course opportunist governments the world over will exploit these situations. I can certainly see the UK use the (probably realistic) increased threat to increase police powers in the run up to the Olympics.

  • Will and Kate get married on Friday, friday >> The Pope Beatification's on a Sunday, Sunday >> Osama's Bin killed on Monday, Monday >> the world will end before Wednesday, Wednesday...

    Isn't that a craig david tune?

  • And Rebecca Black will be inaugurated global overlord on Friday, Friday.

    I do not think military operations are necessarily conspiracies.

    To be a conspiracy it would at least require that the US were talking to - conspiring with - the UK about the timing of the event. This was not my claim. My claim was that the timing of the attack might have been influenced by, amongst other things, due consideration of the risk the operation would create for subsequent major public events being held by the 'allies' of the US.

  • I'm wondering if I should use the Jubilee line tomorrow... or take the river boat for once? I would cycle but I can't bear showering with other people's detritus in the communal shower plug hole.

  • I wholeheartedly disagree.

    Which bit don't you agree with, that the picture is a poor photoshop job ?

  • No, because it looks convincing, until you see the comparison posted earlier. I doubt that a bored teenager is behind it.
