Starting a conspiracy theory

Am I really the only person who is a bit suspicious about the Yanks claiming they have killed Osama bin Laden after the world’s longest game of hide-and-seek? If they genuinely have then it is great news because the guy was a goat-raping cock. I just find it a little odd that they claimed to have shot him and then immediately disposed of his body in the sea, leaving no evidence whatsoever to back up their claim. There is also no photographic evidence to back them up. Apparently, President Obama saw the operation from a live feed but this, of course, is top secret so no one else is ever going to see it.

I also find it a bit strange that this operation took place a couple of days after the Royal Wedding, where the eyes of the world were focussed on the United Kingdom and the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The cynical part of me can’t help thinking that the Americans just didn’t like the fact that someone else was getting all the attention and they wanted to out-do us. I also think the American government felt that a story like this would boost Obama’s chances of getting re-elected in a couple of years.

Perhaps I am just cynical. Perhaps I am naive and ignorant. But could it be that the American government is even more ignorant to assume that the rest of the world will be taken in by such a weak plot? I wouldn’t possibly want to comment.
