Osama bin Laden has died, according to the L'Est republicain
Typhoid? Must have eaten some bad pork.
Which will be hard to do - since many people carry his DNA.
Here is the latest I can find.....
If it's true, it won't stop terrorism single-handedly, but it will strike a major financial blow to the radical Islamist cause. And it has major propoganda value.
But there are other rumors out there that he's still alive, although ill.
He is bad pork.
"He is bad pork."
Hopefully, he's dead pork.
"Which will be hard to do - since many people carry his DNA"
What are you saying here? The only people that have identical DNA are identical twins. And although identical twins have the same genotype, they have different phenotypes. Which is why they can still look slightly different and have different fingerprints.
In a perfect world, Elvis would be alive and Osama dead.
Interesting that so many know the condition of his bowels but not which country he is in.
Is he alive or dead? I haven't seen hard evidence of either.
Of course Pakistan "poo-poohs" the rumor (no pun intended).
Imagine the hit Pakistan's tourist industry would take if people learned a disease like typhoid or cholera was present and killing rich folks whose best friends are doctors.
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.
Bin Laden died years ago, likely at Tora Bora.
I don't understand why no one has figured that out. When I say it, people look at me like I'm from Mars.
I tell them to try and think of any possible circumstance where it wouldn't benfit Bin Laden or his organization to publish a photo or video of him holding up yesterday's edition of his favorite newspaper, the NY Times.
The fact that there have been no such photos or videos indicates to me that he is long dead.
This is good news.However i won't believe it till it's confirmed.
Rumors swirl over bin Laden's fate
*******************AN EXCERPT **********************
PARIS, France (CNN) -- Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has a water-borne illness, a Saudi intelligence source told CNN on Saturday, a report that conflicts with an article in a French newspaper saying that the man who has been hunted by the United States for the past five years is dead.
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.
The questions came in response to the publication of a report in the French regional newspaper L'Est Republicain on Saturday.
How many more lives does this cat have?
Can't count till we confirm.....LOL!
I suspect Chirac to be false as a Frenchman.
