Washington: Two officials of the US intelligence agency CIA have claimed that Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was on death bed as he suffered from a terminal kidney disease, and may live only for a few months.
The intelligence agency also managed to get the names of some of the medications Bin Laden was taking.
One of the two CIA officials familiar with the report that came out six-nine months ago, quoted it as saying, “Based on his current pharmaceutical intake we would expect that he has no more than 6-18 months to live and impending kidney failure.”
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf was the first person to claim that Laden suffered from kidney disease and was on dialysis.
“It’s trying to make a diagnosis from thousands of miles away with only fragments of the medical chart,” the Time magazine quoted Paul Pillar, the former top analyst and deputy director of the CIA's counter-terrorism centre, as saying.
Frances Fragos Townsend, who was chief of the White House Homeland Security Council said, “I've read all the same conflicting reports that people have talked to you about. I never found one set of reporting more persuasive than another.”
AND we bomb Iran tomorrow.
It would give you a good guess, I believe. You could examine the indications of each med and calculate the dosage to see what symptoms he’s trying to alleviate and conditions he’s being treated for.
It would be amazing to see how high he bounces after he hits the ground.
You are on to something . Why not just poison him with the same prescription medicine our FDA allows from Red China ?
This message has been approved...
I've finally reached the point where I don't believe anything out of the CIA.
We could chip in and send him some TOMATOES.
If he’s alive, he can give us a videotape of him holding up a current newspaper. I think he gets the NY Times delvered.
Audiotapes don’t cut it.
And quite frankly, neither does the CIA.
“But we know his medication.”
Yeah, we just stake out the pharmacy he goes to and after the prescription is filled but before he picks them up, our guys sneak in and see what he is coming to pick up.
Really neat pic!!
It would be my luck that the Tampa Bay Devil Rays make the series with home field advantage.
...late last week, Achmed al Yeshuman woke up in a watering trough full of ice in a cave in remote Faroffistan Province.
Mr. Yeshuman, a Christian, said the last thing he remembered was leaving his home in Ahmadi Dirga, Pakistan, to go to church. Upon awakening, he said that when he tried to move he felt a severe pain in is lower back, then saw a note pinned to his robe.
"We have removed one of your kidney's for transplantation into our Glorious Leader, Osama..."
He’s like Hyman Roth, he’s been dying of the same kidney failure for the last 20 years.
I believe there were “kidney failure” reports a couple of years ago. How often can a Moslem die of kidney failure?
exactly
“may live only for a few months”.... October Surprise?
