You are presuming that Bin Laden is in Pakistan or Afghanistan.

How do you know that he is not now in Saudi Arabia? It would certainly be safer in Saudi---and more comfortable, too.

Osama Bin Laden sounds like a Democrat to me.

A Democrat with a diaper on his head and a beaver tail on his face.

You are right. I think I must have hiccoughed when I typed that.

I was waiting for ..."Ah, it is not very well known that Osama was a good dancer."

.........and that he had a favorite blue blanket as a child that he nick-named 'Blankey' that became threadbare from constant washing over the years for which he cried inconsolably for days when it finally fell apart.

The poor little dear.

Um, the article doesn't do anything of the sort.

It seems this woman is saying that she's not surprised that 9/11 was Osama's doing, that he'd rather let his child die than violate some stupid interpretation of a Quranic verse and that he didn't embrace fundamentalism because he failed with Western women, but because he was devout from nearly jump.

Not sure about you, but that makes him even worse. It always seemed a bit silly to attribute his fanaticism to his failure to bed Western women or shyness. Instead, maybe he simply believes as he believes and that's why he's Osama.

Nothing touchy-feely about that.

"........the baby's suffering was less important than a principle........."

A man of 'principle'. How nice.

I rest my case.

So what? Isn't Bin Laden a man of principle? Who said the principle was good?

Hitler believed in what he was doing, but his followers even moreso. Communists were often "of principle" even if that principle was "the Revolution above all" or "the 'Workers'."

Doesn't make them less evil and doesn't make the story "touchy-feely."

Osama? He's dead Jim. Has been since Tora Bora. Just a little paste on the cave wall.

Sorry, but we're going to have to disagree.

I really don't care about 'brothers', 'sisters' or 'family'. In fact, I really don't care to hear anything at all that lends an air of normality or even tangentially humanizes him.

All I want is to hear he's dead.

OPINION: UBL IS DEAD, or captured or in a hidey hole. His evil spirit lives on in the bodies and minds of today's jihadis.

Figuratively speakin', seems like there are 25 too many living members of the bin Laden family...


George W. Bush will win reelection by a margin of at least ten per cent.

Bin Laden is one of 51 children (counting the females, which is something Muslims don't usually deign to do). Remember that his father had four wives at a time.
