Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader. "The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Usama alive or dead," the source said. Bin Laden, according to the source, was suffering from a serious lung complication and succumbed to the disease in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief. About 30 close associates of bin Laden in Al Qaeda, including his most trusted and personal bodyguards, his family members and some "Taliban friends," attended the funeral rites. A volley of bullets was also fired to pay final tribute to the "great leader." The Taliban source who claims to have seen bin Laden's face before burial said "he looked pale ... but calm, relaxed and confident." Asked whether bin Laden had any feelings of remorse before death, the source vehemently said "no." Instead, he said, bin Laden was proud that he succeeded in his mission of igniting awareness amongst Muslims about hegemonistic designs and conspiracies of "pagans" against Islam. Bin Laden, he said, held the view that the sacrifice of a few hundred people in Afghanistan was nothing, as those who laid their lives in creating an atmosphere of resistance will be adequately rewarded by Almighty Allah.

Pakastani media quoting the Taliban.
LOL!
Muslims lie all the time.
So, who are you going to believe; a Muslim in the White House or a Taliban Muslim?
Decisions, decisions,....
This calls for a drink. I’ll have the Bin Laden.. two shots and a splash of water. Mmm mmm good!
Right, because no Taliban would ever have lied about Bin Laden’s status in late 2001.
” So, who are you going to believe; a Muslim in the White House or a Taliban Muslim? “
Both liars . A toss up .
“the Pakistan Observer reported”<-——there’s your conspiracy.
Is that a joke or are you serious? You believe this story. That they killed laden and then dumped the body overboard in respect for muzzie tradition? And they got a DNA sample that quick? Please....
What makes you think that they are telling the truth now?
For now, I’ll believe the reports that bin Laden died of lead poisoning. They sound far more plausible, although the lack of a body or even a photo makes me consider other options as possible as well.
Supposedly there are pictures, but the feds didn’t think we should see them. I think we should.
Enjoy FR’s red pill mode while you can. As soon as the presidency goes Republican again, FR will switch back to blue pill mode.
You must be a retread under a new screen name.
Who to believe. Ask yourself, "Cui bono?" Who stands to gain the most from Bin Laden's death at this time? Not the Pakistanis; their complicity in hiding him in plain sight will not be overlooked. Not the American people; OBL's death will not mean the end of police state tactics being implemented in the name of national security. Meanwhile gas is $4.00/gallon and climbing.
Cui bono? Not the military who risked their lives to kill the guy. To limit collateral damage, Obama chose the most dangerous strategy, putting the lives of the Seals in grave danger. They performed superbly, but who will even know their names for a very long time?
Only Obama stood to gain anything from Osama's demise at this time. Just when his polls were in freefall, and the birth certificate issue was causing more and more problems for him, this windfall occurs.
What, if anything did happen? Did Seals storm the compound and kill Bin Laden? Or did Hollywood shoot the whole thing in a studio? After Wag the Dog, I don't always believe what I see on TV. But one thing I do know: Obama was clearly the winner in this battle.
Do you see anywhere that I said that?
I’m betting there’s a good chance we never see those photos. The denial of the photos is just too much conspiracy juice for Buraq to pass up. But even if he does release them, the damage is already done now that OBL is supposedly clam food. Or maybe he’s with JFK and Elvis in the retirement home, fighting Bubba Ho-Tep...
Isn’t that amazing how that works. All these people will go back to carrying the water. I always remember the time Rush admitted that he was carrying the water for Bush and he said, “No more!”
I misread your comment. Sorry.
