You'll never see pix of the May 1 version until they have been substantially doctored (like BHO's BC).
No, I think the pictures released last week served a different purpose for a different audience. Somebody in Pakistan recognizes the bodies of the guys who were off'd. We just don't know the significance of it yet.
Pakistan now plays the mea culpa game, slapped silly with international embarrassment, but they still have to play along with the story line if they hope to have the $3B/year gravy train coming in.
What if the guys who were off'd were actually the real guys behind the Mumbai bombing, and India wanted globally broadcast evidence to those involved that they too will be squashed in time? Just a theory. A message was sent to someone -- that is an undeniable fact.
We are hearing about a wife of Bin Laden's who is shot in the leg. Where is she? Does any one of those bobble-heads at ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/Fox speak Pashtun well enough to interview this name-less face-less person -- or will we just listen to the News-Speak and take it all in uncritically?
FReegards!
Not since Tora Bora, but somewhat after.
Zawahiri came out with his statement in August 2005. That would have been after the muslim mourning period, which is what? Three months??
That gives us may/jun 2005. Which goes completely with the Pak newspaper story I saw.
