Osama bin Laden, the founder and first leader of the Islamist terrorist group, Al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, shortly after 1:00 am PKT (Pakistan Standard Time) by United States Navy SEALs (SEAL Team Six). The operation, code-named Operation Neptune Spear. The Seal Team scooped up a number of documents during the raid and now some of these are seeing the light of day.

In one of these documents: Usama bin Laden wanted to assassinate then-President Barack Obama so that the "totally unprepared" Joe Biden would take over as president and plunge the United States "into a crisis," according to documents seized from bin Laden's Pakistan compound when he was killed in May 2011.

The secretive documents, first reported in 2012 by The Washington Post, outlined a plan to take out Obama and top U.S. military commander David Petraeus as they traveled by plane.

“The reason for concentrating on them is that Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make [Vice President] Biden take over the presidency," bin Laden wrote to a top deputy. "Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the U.S. into a crisis. As for Petraeus, he is the man of the hour ... and killing him would alter the war's path" in Afghanistan.

Bin Laden specifically wanted fellow terrorist Ilyas Kashmiri to shoot down Obama.

“Please ask brother Ilyas to send me the steps he has taken into that work,” bin Laden wrote to the top lieutenant, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman. Kashmiri wouldn't get too far along in the plot, however; he was killed in 2011 in a U.S. drone strike shortly after bin Laden himself was shot to death by Navy SEALs.

At least we now know why Murdoch didn’t like Obama: he had his next political editor killed.

In Bin Laden’s defence, Obama was also plotting to kill him.

So, who won?

I think it's important to keep things in perspective: Who won -- the 'bad' guys or the 'good' guys -- and what makes news of a failed assassination plot significant when the would-be conspirators are no longer alive?

Makes no sense.

If that's true:that Osama sought to kill Obama...because...Bin Laden thought that then veep Biden was "ill prepared"...then Osama must have been getting as senile as both Biden and Trump are lately accused of becoming now!

If Biden had taken over the reigns Biden would have started his presidency with a resume dozens of times bigger than Obama's own resume when Obama took office(Biden was already more qualified than his boss), because Biden had been in the US Senate for decades while Obama had only served as a Senator from Illinois for only a fortnight before vaulting to the White House. Only Trump started his presidency with even less of a public service resume than Obama started out with....among recent POTUS. And Trump of course, is our infallible orange faced god who can do no wrong!

This section is why this story is coming to light now: for it’s propaganda value in the upcoming election.

“Biden is viewed as weak by our enemies etc etc”

OR ... it could be stated as:

"Joe Biden was once viewed as weak by people who have since been eliminated by the administration he was then a part of."

Well yeah: it is pretty weak propaganda which relies upon the consumer uncritically absorbing specific selected facts in a bubble... but that’s how most propaganda works isn’t it?

How about this, then: "Joe Biden may have been weak, but his enemies are now dead."

Chilling ... when you remember who held the office of Secretary of State back then.
