US intelligence has received new reports that Osama Bin Laden recieved a kidney transplant in late February.

Defense officials have recieved persistent reports that the Al Qaeda leader has severe kidney problems.

The latest reporting, believed to have come from informants, again suggest that Bin Laden recieved treatment with the help of dialysis machines supplied by Pakistan's Intelligence agency.

He may have recieved the surgery in Afghanistan or Pakistan.

. . . supplied by Pakistan's Intelligence agency.

Do you get the feeling not all those guys are on our side?

New targets!

The same intelligence agency that warned Bum Laden of a cruise missile attack on his camp in Afghanistan after President Clinturd asked Pakistan for permission to use their airspace. What the hell did he think the stealth bomber was for?

These genetically obsessed liars have tried every way possible to create life in a dead man. This is why we should assume he is dead.

These guys at X-Ray keep talking more every day..

Look for a camel carrying a Honda generator.

The same agency that betrayed the guy we put into Afghanistan last year to organize the opposition. He got hanged by the Taliban.

Don't forget, we need their assistance for that new oil pipeline so I'm sure we will just look the other way. No harm no foul.

If true, he will need chronic immunosuppressive therapy... living on the run ain't easy even when you are healthy... immunosuppressives will make him much less stealthy, not to mention the subclinical or previously asymptomatic parasites and mycobacterial dz they will unmask. Oh yeah- maybe we can track the flow of cyclosporine into remote parts of Pak or Afghanistan.

Good idea.

not to mention the subclinical or previously asymptomatic parasites and mycobacterial dz they will unmask.

That is a nasty thought.

[surely_you_jest]

Yes, but a happy one.

This is why we should assume he is dead.

I've often wondered, if we knew he was dead, would it be wise to break the news or would it be better to sit on it. I think if we had any control or choice, we would not announce anything until Al Qaida was pretty well cleaned up. Giving his obit could stir counter strikes around the world. They wouldn't announce it since they would appear vulnerable and it would complicate their communications and organizational authorities.

OBL got Elvis's kidney -- kept in deep freeze all these years just waiting for the right person. Upon recovery, OBL took up hiding under the rag Arab*RAT wears on his head.

[TennTuxedo]

Have your way with the Paks India.

[Cold Heat]

I agree..............

[Bogey78O]

Where'd he get the kidney?
