  1. Gonna cut you some slack because you are trying to put together a quiz based on the “official narrative.” But no way that was ACTUALLY OBL killed in Pakistan. He died in 2001 and all the future video participants were actors, as was the guy they killed. Even the soon to be murdered Pakistani PM admitted so on TV just weeks before she was conveniently murdered.

    • Given the media can’t even accurately cover historical events happening in real time, I’m guessing the majority of history we’ve been taught can be challenged for accuracy.

      • I attended private schools and they lied as much as the government run ones. It’s an overall cultural problem…”you can’t handle the truth!”
