PARIS (AP) - The head of terrorist network al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, has died, according to information from the Saudi police, transmitted by the Directorate-General of External Services (DGSE), and reported on the Lorraine daily newspaper L'Est republicain in its Saturday edition.

"According to a commonly reliable source, the Saudi police believes that Osama Bin Laden has died," said a September 21st confidential note from the DGSE classified as "defense." L'Est republicain will publish it in its Saturday edition. The note, specified the daily newspaper, would be re-printed "un-edited."

According to the note to be published by the L'Est republicain, the Saudi police "would try to obtain more details, in particular the location of the burial site, and then announce the news officially." The DGSE specified in the note that no "jihadist Internet site has for the moment been made aware of the death of Osama bin Laden."

According to the note, "the head of al Qaeda may have fallen victim to a strong case of typhoid fever while in Pakistan, on August 23, 2006," and may have died within a matter of days.

The French news organization transmitted this note to the President of France, to the Defense and Prime Minister and the Ministers of the Interior Department on September 21, according to the regional daily newspaper, which added that a prior note transmitted on September 19th to the leaders of France explained why the Saudi police "sought to confirm the death of Osama bin Laden."

I agree.
Just for clarification of the post I made, I was just thinking of what the Dems/MSDBM would say about President Bush and the Republicans :

DEMS Response:

" ( How can President Bush and his team take credit for the death of OSBL , when ? they never even found him or captured him in the first place ? ,,, Bush was never intent on finding OSBL, and we ( Dems ) are going to be stronger on the WOT than the Republicans and Bush ) this is what the Dems/MSDBM might say,,," )

so, we must be on our guard and counter this.

OK..... pinged you to this :

Chirac: Bin Laden Intel Not Confirmed ~ Saudi's think he died of typhoid...in Aug... in Pakistan

[Prophet in the wilderness]

It's going to be fun to watch how they are going to spin this.
So DEMS ? MSDBM ? now you admit that there is actually a WOT ? and that there is actually those who would want to harm us here in the USA ( unlike Kerry's response, " that terrorism is JUST A NUISANCE " ).
Yeah,,, right, the Democrats are going to be stronger on the WOT ( just it time for the fall election that they become stronger on the WOT ).
As the old saying goes ( Oh what a tangled web we weave, only when we first to try to deceive ).

Hey RasterMaster ? we need to get someone or company to make as many bumper stickers as we can of what that one Republican Senator said about the Democrats caring more about the protection of terrorist than the protection of the American people.

( Yes, Democrats care: The Democrats care more about the health and protection of Terrorist and the enemies of America , than they do for the American people ).

Ain't it amazing what we have seen lately ?
How the Dems got so patriotic all of a sudden, after the Republicans comments, and after Hugo Chavez's speech and Hugo using standard DNC talking points ?
Amazing isn't it ?

That funeral was in July someone wrote to me earlier.

Time frame wrong.

[beyond the sea]

Could the "funeral picture" we saw from the drone, have been his? Who else would have drawn SO many?

See post # 291 and 293.

Chirac: Bin Laden Intel Not Confirmed ~ Saudi's think he died of typhoid...in Aug... in Pakistan

Just reported on CNN:

The Saudi intelligence source told CNN's Nic Robertson that there have been credible reports for the past several weeks that bin Laden is ill, but there has been no word of his death.

So, the bugger is alive & dying!

[Muzzle_em]

I hope he died of severe, projectile diarrhea.
HOpe he was weak and had to lie in it for days.


I'm sure he's still alive and well though.

Is this the Rove October surprise that I read about here last week?

[BIGLOOK]

Hmmmm.......A report of UBL's demise closely follows Musharraf's visit with POTUS this week.

Suspiciously fragrant.

[RasterMaster]

Clinton's tirade tops it off....not a good week to be a LIEberal DUmocrat!

Karl Rove is keeping him alive until late October.

Noting your post for future reference. ;-)

Habemus Corpus?

(Note, not Habeas Corpus.)

Beg to differ with you. Some parts of the country would be "so screwed" others, not at all. Surgery is can be painful, but cutting ut the bad parts is preferable to having the patient die.

If Osama ever tapped into the illegals, at least we'd know exactly where to cut.

Frankly, I'm in the gotta-see-the-schmuck-stuffed-and-on-display-in-Macey's-front-window school of verification, BUT.....

I'm sure Slick is still getting his daily Intel brief, and if he's been told that OBL is wormfood it might be an explanation for the loss of composure.

The only thing better than having your own plan come together is watching your enemy's reaction to his plans coming apart.

Yes, conversion to Judaism on especially the New Year!

I like that a lot as well.

I've always thought he and Mullah Omar are stains on the highway....they were heading for the hills outside Kanahar when Omar's Suburban was bombed.

It is no wonder why Clinton is soooooo mad in that FOX Report. I think he got an inside scoop from someone, that something big is going to happen. NOT for the DEMS He knows his legacy is doomed. I say Doomed!

Bush looking better everyday.
