The Conspiracy theorists sect–like Grand Poobah Alex Jones–are coming out of the woodwork over  Obama’s announcement to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. Their hook of uproar:

“Osama died at the end of December, 2001 in Pakistan and was buried there in an unmarked grave, according to Muslim tradition.”

Their  proof: 9/11 conspiracy guru David Ray Griffin (who they refer to as, “America’s leading scholar on 9/11″) and his book, Osama Bin Laden – Dead or Alive.

Hmmm, if Osama is dead, as the old joke goes, then why does he keep putting out more recordings than Tupac? (The dubious Bin Laden double-theory is the  easy answer to that question.) 

On Jones’ InfoWar  (”Because there is a war on for your mind.”) site, one of his minion trumpets that the government is using the  search for Bin Laden as an excuse to invade Afghanistan, and also that the CIA and Blackwater are behind the recent bombing atrocity in Peshawar, Pakistan. 

Alex Jones’ crew still ridiculously harps on how 9/11 was an inside job, seeing Obama speech at West Point as:

“The flip side of Bush, so much the Muppet whose words and mannerisms are manipulated.” 

Though I too am frustrated with the extra $30 billion a year that will be spent on the war, I guess for conspiracy theorists nothing can be fixed along as it’s attached to “The Man”.
