[FOX] Osama dead Laden wanted to kill Obama so 'totally unprepared' Biden would be president, declassified docs show

Osama 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 goat boy terrorist Ilyas Kashmiri to shoot down Obama.
Everybody in the world knows how Useless Biden and the Democrats are... Everyone but the Democrats

#11   but honest this is the first time I heard about it.

A lot has happened since 2012, Woodrow dear, and it would be folly for me to compare my porous memory with anyone, not to mention there is so very much to remember after all these years. Fortunately that was not why they hired me. ;-) But the article mentions the events of 2012, and you did thoughtfully add the link as you worked up the thing for submission, which nicely matched up to the Related/name link search I added at the bottom for us all.

I should not have been surprised that Fox resurrected this particularly sticky handful of mud yesterday, but even at my advanced-ish age I do not think in those terms — so it is equally fortunate you lot do. Even after nearly two decades I learn something new here every day, and am grateful for it. So much better than crosswords or Sudoku!

#3  I read this as a Fox hit piece digging up old dirt.

#2  "Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the U.S. into a crisis. "

What's changed? He's still unprepared for the post; I could kill 1/2 a bottle of vodka and be more coherent than he is.

#1  WAPO releases a hit piece on Biden. I'll take a wild stab in the dark; the left-wing establishment a.k.a. the Deepstate, doesn't want Biden as their candidate in 2020. Too much baggage; a sure loser.
