US drones are praised by officials for their reliability, but quite often high-profile militants reported slain have turned up later, unharmed. Though this hasn’t happened yet in the case of cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, the Yemeni government is reporting they don’t have any actual evidence that Awlaki was killed either. According to security officials, the last information that have is that he was in the motorcade when the US attacked it, but two of the three cars escaped, and Awlaki’s body was never found.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Trusting the current Yemenis governments veracity is an exercise in futility,and this might just be a way to lessen domestic anger of Yemenis.
But as with OBL,no proof is offered to be masticated like the obvious proof of our complete idiocy of our wars around the world which is given in the MSMs filtered news propaganda,where even they can't hide our futility and despicable actions.
But they'll still try to pull the wool over American eyes as they've done for 60 years,and they are circling their wagons,witness the Guardian ,The Independent and even Al Jazeeras forays into imperialism and obfuscation.C'mon Dr.Ron Paul,without his election,we will further descend into madness.
Well that's an interesting twist. Even for a propaganda obsessed administration it would be too far fetched to invent this guy's death and talk about the panel of death when none of it is true. Still, it'll be interesting to see how it all turns out.
If there was a 30% chance or greater that Awlaki was wasted, surely Obama would claim the kill.
But then, if the CIA had prior knowledge of Awlaki’s location, surely they would have amassed firepower sufficient to get the job done.
Now watch said Yemeni official being whacked himself. Quite by accident, of course. Oops!
