He just can't quit us!

Osama - he be dead

[elc]

Dang it. You beat me to it. Except I was going to write "spring it on the public before impeachment hearings."

The total eclipse of bin Laden also gave rise to various speculation on Islamist websites, with some admirers of the terror chief already contemplating that he might be dead. "Bin Laden, tracked by the intelligence services who are on his heels, is hiding somewhere along the mountain frontiers between Pakistan and Afghanistan," opined one blogger. Another claimed that "Abu Abdullah (bin Laden) has deliberately decided to stop all communications to avoid being located by gigantic US surveillance devices". "O my beloved. I know that you are mortal. No body can oppose the will of God. But the thought of seeing you taken captive fills me with fear," said another in a "letter of affection" addressed online to Bin Laden

SHEEHAN: "O my beloved. I know that you are mortal. No body can oppose the will of God. But the thought of seeing you taken captive fills me with fear"

[Polyxene]

Osama is pushing up poppies.

Right!

[Baby Driver]

Who'se *that* supposed to be?...Cindy Sheehan? :o)

[KingofZion]

Why speak when you have nothing to boast about?

Lefties refuse to admit it, but the war on terror has been quite effective.

We won't hear from this coward as long as he is on the run and his organization flounders.

'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This terrorist is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e
rests in peace! If you hadn't splattered 'm in Tora Bora 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the
bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-Terrorist!!

[bassmaner]

I wonder how long it is before some on the loony left accuse Bush of having him in custody so he can spring it on the public just before the 2006 elections?

Our esteemed former Sec State Maddie Half-Bright said just that in the run-up to the 2004 election. Think she'll reprise it in the mid-terms?

[SmithL]

bin Laden is still alive and leading “jihad” from under a mountain of rubble.

[cvq3842]

It's an absolutely idiotic and irresponsible thing to say . . . so she probably will.

[Cap Huff]

FYI

[snarks_when_bored]

We didn't catch Hitler or Musallini either.......

The whereabouts of Mussolini (and his mistress) after the war were well-known:

[OrangeBlossomSpecial]

Yea, right,

We all accept he is a deadman.

The real question remains.

When is Karl Rove going to open his secret deep freezer and DEFROST?

November 2006

November 2008.

[Red Badger]

I know, the Italian people did them in...........

[oceanview]

He's not dead.

[dc-zoo]

Maybe he discovered "beano".
