I searched and didn't see this posted anywhere.
COULD this be true?

May Debka’s stopped clock be right this time.

DEBKA does not have a good reputation for reliability, so I won’t hold my breath.

Sometimes Debka gets things right and other times they are out in left field. Has anything been posted elsewhere from a more dependable source?

Debka’s right about 15% of the time. Just enough to keep you thinking it’s possible.

Interesting that the media played up the three repetitions of one line in Zawahiri’s last message. They were afraid it might be a coded signal for an attack.
Another poster on another thread (don’t have time to search) pointed out that the quotation was from one of the last messages from Mohammed telling his followers that he might not be around long.
I think it was Zawahiri’s good-bye speech...
Fits in with what we are reading here (though Debka is a stopped clock...)

DEBKA is generally unreliable.
But DEBKA has scooped other news sources before. I think they post every rumor they come across, and every now and then one of them is true.

I sure hope it’s true this time. We’ve heard this story before.

I don’t care if the source that gets us OBL is the Bat Boy in the Weekly World News. ;)
To: nmh
I say we start a thread on what the Dems would say if it’s true.
I’ll go first:
“How do we know that actually OBL...there where so many doubles...”
“It’s about time this just proves Bush is an idiot.”
To: Steve_Seattle
sadly, you answered the question I knew I had the answer for...

At that point, Pakistani intelligence turned up a lead to the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden himself.Deader than a doornail.

The article at least sounds plausible given the events in Pakistan. The pressure on Mushariff to clean out the rats nests in the NW Frontier is probably now greater than the pressure to let it be.

It sure would make Moore look sillier ... if that’s possible!
I hope it’s true.

IMO Debka has good connections to things Israeli. In the past that meant things Middle East, but now I don’t have the sense the Mossad is as good as it was, and their concerns are not always congruent with ours. So I don’t think DEBKA’s report about OBL and Zawahiri is anything more than ill informed speculation.
One note. If this were to be true and we scratched both bad guys, the pressure from the Dems to not only leave Iraq, but end the GWOT would be enormous. From an Israeli viewpoint that might not be a bad thing as it may free them from any U.S. constraints on their operations.
