He said that despite what you hear, the drone that took this picture was NOT armed.

Thanks! I feel a little better!

[Ole Okie]

It would be funnier if he died of a case of Violent Diarrhea.

I know yours was a play on initials.

But believe me, violent diarreah is what typhoid fever is.

[Earthdweller]

"If he is dead, this would be one of the best ways for him to have died...no big battle, no martyrdom...simply succumbing to disease."

It's all a little too perfect isn't it? Something doesn't add up.

Is this meant to call off the dogs?

[bubman]

If OBL is dead as a result of typhoid, the US gov't should give the $50m to typhoid research.

Either way that POS if he's dead, the WOT is still not finished.

[quantim]

And especially no courts.

[Loud Mime]

Rumor Mill:

This is a tactic by the democrats, who will unveil a living bin Laden just before the election. He'll have his arms around John Kerry and Hillary...all laughing.

[Ditter]

I read something about Typhoid Fever and it included diarrhea and lots of other really nasty ways to die. Couldn't happen to a better guy than OBL.

[operation clinton cleanup]

I buy your theory. Nothing like a nicely packaged October surprise!

[Boiler Plate]

This breaking news just in. Generalísimo Francisco Franco is still dead!

[spokeshave]

Maybe they followed the rats back to their hideouts....also future opportunity to dig up uncle binnie for DNA tests.

"This is a tactic by the democrats, who will unveil a living bin Laden just before the election."

Even more interesting is that this came out in France and Chirac and company are in danger of losing the French elections.

If confirmed, that, in part, might explain the complete absence of Osama bin Laden from making any appearances on the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon just outside Washington, DC.

Ya think? And what would the "other part" be...hmm.

[Dog Gone]

This report is going to make worldwide news and OBL will have to make an appearance to disprove it if he's alive to do so. The truth is that this report coming from French intelligence and Saudi intelligence will carry far more weight in arab street than if it were announced from a US source.

Osama wouldn't mind us thinking he's dead, but he wouldn't want his followers to think so.

[Suzy Quzy]

Oh wow...Aug 23....or 22....VERY important dates. hmmmm

[SunTzuWu]

Hind site is always 20/20. Maybe this will help explain things.

[Suzy Quzy]

Just HOW do we KNOW that we did NOT bomb the "funeral"??? Wasn't there a story about NATO troops killing a LOT of Taliban??

[Dilbert56]

NOooooooo

[Dick Vomer]

He may be alive...under a couple of million tons of rock....

[altura]

Lookin' for a really long skeleton.
