What makes you think they shot some fat guy, and not some skinny guy?

bonus tip: linking to youtube videos called "9/11 CONSPIRACY: THE BIN LADEN TAPE IS A FAKE!" marginalizes yourself, no matter the content.

Edit: seriously now. I'm not getting this. The public thinks that osama is tall and thin, regardless of whatever video bush was pointing at or whatnot. If they shot a tall thin guy, nobody would think anything of it (except perhaps the people that are predisposed to making "CONSPIRACY" videos on youtube...) If they shot some fat guy (which wouldn't even make sense to do, since the public doesn't recognize him as the guy...), then that should just match up with this apparent evidence video.... which is no big deal?

Explain this to me, if you are going to downvote me.

"What makes you think they shot some fat guy, and not some skinny guy?"

I do think they shot a skinny guy, which would show that the video from 2001 was almost certainly fake.

Because clearly people never change their weight dramatically over 10 years.

So why have they been publishing pictures of the skinny guy on a semi-regular basis for nearly a decade now, with no apparent shame? This whole thing makes no sense.

It's simple, really.
