Deposed Tunisian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali had a stroke and is in a coma, French newspaper Le Monde reported on Thursday.

"The former head of state was admitted to an institution for Saudi princes under a false identity for security reasons," the paper reported. "His condition is worrying."

Obama has already threatened assassination of people on the terrorist list. With his record, it seems far more likely to be about heads of state standing in his way.

Someone wants to keep these guys quiet. I am sure they know where all of the M.E. skeletons are.

This is either a SOP operating ploy (”the deposed leader’s in a coma”) or someone’s been poisoning these guys. Maybe they’ve gone insane/fetal from the fact Allah has now found it beneficial to allow others to remove them from very powerful posts.

Someone at 1600 Penn. Ave wants these guys quiet, sighing in relief with this Middle East flu.

Don’t think the deposed Tunisian leader is that old, going on his appearance alone. It’s beginning to look most definitely these guys are “helped along”. Maybe potassium cocktails, like that black American Republican gal who was helping Hilary’s capaign. Always thought her death was so fishy.

These deposed dictators seem to get sick quite quickly after they step down. Consider:

1) The Shah of Iran got sick and died a year after he was deposed.

2) Mubarak is rumored to be very sick.

SEE HERE :

3) And now Tunisia...

What can we conclude from this ?

"What can we conclude from this ?"

Certainly seems indicative of some funny business going on behind the scenes. Having said that, I've known a few people who survived long careers in pretty hazardous/stressful professions that died within a year of retirement. It's almost as if their bodies couldn't handle the calm or the lack of adrenaline. Purely personal observation and anecdote I concede; no science or stats to back it up.

He's a democrat, so it's okay. Senator Tim Johnson had a stroke and was out for 9 months. No move to replace him. Gabrielle Giffords got shot in the head and now they are talking about her as the next senator from Arizona. Joe Biden ...

I'm starting to see a trend.

Ben Ali is 74. Mubarak is 82. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is 86, I believe. Strokes at that age happen. I'm sure the stress contributes.

I think we can safely conclude that Obama will fight to the death before he “steps down.”

Let’s all not forget Sharon when he pulled all those settlers off the West Bank and out of their homes they’d risked everything to settle in with a lot of pushing from the government of Israel.

It’s terribly important not to overlook all the details. It’s coming together rather quickly.
