was he on ice until Obama needed him for re-election?

If this was anyone but Osama, uhhh, Obama, I would believe this. So far I haven’t seen a photo of the dead Osama. Photos of a tall, slender, gaunt, 50 something weasel should help.

In early December 2001, the Pakistan Observer reported on bin Laden’s death – due to untreated health problems – citing al-Qaeda and Taliban officials who claimed to have attended the funeral service. “The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Osama alive or dead,” a source said at the time. Bin Laden was allegedly buried in the vicinity of Tora Bora, along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

So, we're supposed to think al Qaeda and the ISI aren't also engaging in misinformation?

With an ego the size of Mount Everest, Osama bin Laden would not have remained silent for so long if he were still alive.

He wasn't silent. He released messages time and time again, referencing events that had occurred long after 2001.

This news has been met with much skepticism...

Osama was more useful to us as a bogeyman to be trotted out whenever we needed the military to take some kind of action somewhere.

It would be like this president to waste a vital asset like that for his own personal gain.

I always thought they got him in Tora Bora.

I will believe it when I see his body wrapped in strips of bacon and shoved off the hot deck with pitch forks.

I think if that was the case Obama would have had the Pakistanis keep him on ice until late summer, early fall 2012. The way it is now Obamas “dead Bin-Ladin bounce” will last until mid-summer if he’s lucky. (Bin-Ladin’s corpse will only cover up $4+ a gallon gas and a crappy economy for so long...)

the Pakistan Observer reported on bin Laden’s death...

The Pakistan Observer... even editors at Debka roll their eyes at that as a 'believable source'.

For what it’s worth (link via the Serbian blogosphere, http://de-construct.net):

I don’t know whether I should believe obama’s story, this link, or anything else about Bin Laden.

I DO believe that Al Qaeda and the other jihadi organizations will probably attack us, at home and/or abroad, which ever of these stories are true.

I really wish the "deathers" would give it a rest. Sometimes its like listening to a Coast to Coast. You need 100 yds of tin foil to get through a day of surfing on this site.

As a 24 yr military man...I am all about taking orders...but I doubt...VERY SERIOUSLY...the members of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (Formerly known as Seal Team 6) would allow themselves to be used (read: WHORED) in such a manner. I believe they have a lot more integrity than that.

If they did not kill him yesterday...one of those guys will get word to someone...and quick.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I agree with this article. If Obama can fake a birth certificate to boost his poll numbers, then killing a dead man’s ISI-employed double is an even easier way to do the same thing.

[easyrighter]

I do recall Limbaugh on several occassions saying that Bin Laden was dead(assumed room temperature as he put it) and he said he that on good authority.
