Osama Bin Laden Offered No Resistance In 'Cold-Blooded' U.S. Raid: Pakistan Officials

Tuesday, May 10, 2011


I don't steer people wrong, Michaela19­76.  I also don't usually speak without well-resea­rched intelligen­ce.  

We know he was on dialysis because the same people who are claiming to have executed him and buried him at sea told us he was.  If you couldn't believe them then, then you shouldn't believe them now.  That's why we have rules of evidence and law and trials and rituals for examining informatio­n in a modern democracy.


According to United Press Internatio­nal (Oct. 31, 2001), bin Laden underwent clandestin­e kidney treatment by Dr. Terry Calloway (Canadian urologist) for 11 days in July at the American Hospital in Dubai. During his hospital stay, bin Laden met with a U.S. CIA agent, according to French daily Le Figaro and Radio France Internatio­nal. 

The day before the infamous September 11 terrorist attacks, bin Laden entered a military hospital for further kidney dialysis treatment in Raqalpindi­, Pakistan, reported by CBS (Jan. 28, 2002). In an interview with CNN (Jan. 19, 2002), Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf hinted, “He (bin Laden) is dead for the reason he is a ...kidney patient.” Musharraf also mentioned that bin Laden took two dialysis machines with him into Afghanista­n. 

A few days later, Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN (Jan. 21, 2002) gave his profession­al assessment of bin Laden’s medical condition based on the videotape broadcaste­d by al Jazeera on December 27, 2001. He explained that bin Laden’s ghastly appearance — “grayness of beard, paleness of skin, very gaunt sort of features” — is often associated with chronic kidney failure or renal failure. He also noted that bin Laden couldn’t move his left arm probably due to a stroke because people suffering from kidney failures have a higher risk for stroke. Dr. Gupta pointed out that dialysis machines require electricit­y, clean water and a sterile environmen­t to function properly. Without an operationa­l machine, a patient could only survive for less than a week. 


At the time of these reports, the informatio­n was cited as from government sources.
