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."

Agreed.

Hahaha that is so funny.

The Mods have been changed, since they were first instituted.

In the beginning, there was no religion Mod, for example.

Hopefully some MOD will see the ping and come to the thread and tell us.

Conflicting reports: Bin Laden could be dead or ill

We need another Patton

A Pershing would be better.

A True story about General "Black Jack" Pershing.

One important thing to remember is that Muslims detest pork because they believe pigs are filthy animals. Some of them simply refuse to eat it, while others won't even touch pigs at all, nor any of their by-products. To them, eating or touching a pig, its meat, its blood, etc., is to be instantly barred from paradise and doomed to hell.

Just before World War I, there were a number of terrorist attacks against the United States and it's interests by, you guessed it, Muslim extremists.

So General Pershing captured 50 of the terrorists and had them tied to posts execution style. He then had his men bring in two pigs and slaughter them in front of the, now horrified, terrorists.

The soldiers then soaked their bullets in pigs blood, and proceeded to execute 49 of the terrorists by firing squad.

The soldiers then dug a big hole, dumped in the terrorist's bodies and covered them in pig blood, entrails, etc.

They let the 50th man go. And for about the next 42 years, there was not a single attack by a muslim fanatic anywhere in the world.

(Waitaminit...didn't Rove say there'd be an 'October Surprise'? Could it be....?????)

And no wonder BJ Clinton is all upset and screaming... The hopes for a DemocRAT US Senate and/or House is now just a disappearing mirage.

Maybe Rove poisoned UBL's water supply? ;^)

"In any event, I wish Binnie whatever happiness he may be experiencing with his 72 raisins in some blissful Valh-allah somewhere.. If anyone thinks that God is going to allow a bunch of men screwing a bunch of women around His landcape, they will just permantaly cease to exist. Where did you come up with "raisins"? I haven't heard that in a very long time:)

Are you old enough to be talking to me?

[zbigreddogz]

Given the fact that he refered to John Kerry by name in one of the 2004 videos, that seems highly unlikely.

[Sacajaweau]

We have dudes that can do Jimmy Stewart better than Jimmy Stewart. Would an imitator's voice show different? These tapes are likely NEVER 1st generation.

[MinuteGal]

According to those in the know, the Arab word for "virgin" can also be translated as "raisin".

I can use these naughty words because I'm older than you.

LOL

I'm pretty sure that kind of thing can be detected.

But whatever. I hope he's dead, but I'll believe it when I see the pig intestines being poured into his coffin. (At least that's what I'd do.)

[Cobra64]

I've seen this before. There is no evidence that it ever happened.

[cardinal4]

The guy looks like a cadaver. Old video with voiceover..

But whatever. I hope he's dead, but I'll believe it when I see the pig intestines being poured into his coffin. (At least that's what I'd do.)

Id prefer seeing his remains in a pig sty-slowly ground into the earth under the trampling pigs..

Below is from the CDC. Maybe Rove sent a bottle of placebos to his cave rather than antibiotics. Poor thing...

How is typhoid fever spread?

Salmonella Typhi lives only in humans. Persons with typhoid fever carry the bacteria in their bloodstream and intestinal tract. In addition, a small number of persons, called carriers , recover from typhoid fever but continue to carry the bacteria. Both ill persons and carriers shed S. Typhi in their feces (stool).

You can get typhoid fever if you eat food or drink beverages that have been handled by a person who is shedding S. Typhi or if sewage contaminated with S. Typhi bacteria gets into the water you use for drinking or washing food. Therefore, typhoid fever is more common in areas of the world where handwashing is less frequent and water is likely to be contaminated with sewage.

Once S. Typhi bacteria are eaten or drunk, they multiply and spread into the bloodstream. The body reacts with fever and other signs and symptoms.

Naw! Rove just sent him a bag of raw spinach!

Oh, I remember Eschoir and Ash very well!

Wonder if they've found a home on DU?

[nopardons]

I thought that you would. :-)

I don't know where ASH is, but Eschoir has jumped around the net, joining one anti-FR site after another; though I don't know where he is now.
