I really have to wonder, why is AJ having every story about OBL. Why has this taken over both msm and alternative media as the story of the year when it’s all smoke and mirrors.
What the hell else is going on right now?? Something is up, and this to me is just a smoking gun.
Enough with the lying scum stories that msm is lying about OBL. WE KNOW ALREADY!! MOVE ON!
