Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

David Reitzes: your refusal to respond to my admittedly off-topic question (or possibly an off-off-topic question, since your post was off-topic to begin with) motivated me to do a quick Google search on your name. I have a question about your internet posts re: bin Laden, such as this one:

I don't see anything about what you think President Obama's motivation for staging bin Laden's death was. Was it for the seemingly obvious reasons -- for the glory of it and a bump in popularity -- or is there more to it? 

Ralph Cinque: Yes, it was for the political value of claiming to have killed OBL, but also, I suspect it was because they couldn't keep it going any longer. OBL was very sick in 2001. He was in kidney failure, dependent on dialysis. He was diabetic. He had hepatitis. Marfan's syndrome. Osteoporosis. Anemia. How long can you falsely continue to say he's alive? By 2011, it was either claim to have killed him or admit he died of natural causes. And they definitely wanted to get the benefit of saying that they killed him.

Dave, on the left is OBL in 2001, and on the right was supposedly him 10 years later looking younger, healthier, and thick like a wrestler. That's after 10 years on dialysis. In the US, the average dialysis patient only lives 5 years unless he gets a kidney transplant. So, are you buying that these two are the same man?
