I received this from a friend. As a very new member of Free Republic, I admit I had qualms about posting it (especially as this is my first post and do not want to get a reputation as untrustworthy). I've researched Debka and found that most people on Free Republic believe it to be hogwash. As for myself, I do not know. It does seem to stretch credibility, but the level of detail is disturbing. Again, I post this only to share what I myself received. I do not vouch for anything contained within it.

Proving that reports of his death were exaggerated, the al Qaeda leader, Saudi-born Osama bin Laden reached Saudi Arabia three weeks ago.

Seeing as this is from Debka, I feel justified in officially announcing that OBL is scorpion food.

ES, I think you’ll find that about 95% of what Debka says is wrong. When they do happen to coincide with reality, it’s just that, a coincidence. BTW- welcome to FreeRepublic!

The spirit of this post reminds me of all those people who have seen Elvis recently. Details? Yes, they can tell you what he was wearing and what kinds of snacks he was buying.

Can't say as I blame you for being skeptical about posting Debka material. IMO, only the tabloid New York Times has more glaring innacuracies printed as fact ... LOL!

See if you can get some verification from the National Enquirer or The Star.

Or the Weekly World News. Well, now I did it - someone's gonna post a picture of Bat Boy.

HA! Well, you'll get the usual Debka Slam, probably.

But check this story out....

So Osama-mama, if alive, left Karachi a few weeks ago.

AS far as the who helped Osama, elements in ISI :>>

And there were reports of US Special Forces conducting operations in Yemen.

Fits in with the concept of the returning, conquering Mahdi

I tend to agree with all the posters that this does seem to be more akin to something our own Sun or Mirror would publish. What reason could they have for publishing this?

I think I spotted him yesterday at Burger King but I can't be sure...

All that and a Debka post. Hope you bought asbestos drawers before you signed up yesterday.

Actually, you should defend this as the absolute truth, refer to anyone skeptical as a sheeple, and get in flame wars with all FReepers who might disagree. < /kidding>

Didja read the comment? He/she admitted that they were reluctant about the Debka post.

It's the same reason Pat Buchanan and David Hackworth publish their crap -- doom-and-gloom like this appeals to a certain segment of the market.

Didja read the comment?

Yeah, I read it. But you have to admit that he's going to need that asbestos.

After spending time and trying to understand the culture of Free Republic, I knew that I was assuming risk in posting this.

[Merovingian]

Geez, once again misreporting from DEBKA..HERE is where he was seen, NOT on horseback:

err, the white truck on the right..

[dirtboy]

This exclusive information has just reached Debka from its most credible intelligence and counter-intelligence sources.

A place normally visited only by doctors with flashlights.

[Chi-Town Lady]

I say we believe the story. Then we can blow the Saudi's right out of their sandbox for harboring terrorists. I know, just wishful thinking!

No problem posting, but should have "Debka Alert" in the title line.
