As usual, please no HUGE graphics

As orderly as a bunch of tyrants lovers can come to order i guess.

[Wait4Truth]

CNN reporting that U.S. intel saying the report is untrue.

[cyncooper]

Council being called to order.

[Petronski]

I bet this dude is wearing 'Hammer Pants.'

[Otta B Sleepin]

Now saying Saad and Hamza.

[piasa]

who are these idiots who call in against BUSH?

Government employees- who else has time?

We know they aren't from Floriduh, because Floridian libs can't hit a phone button any better than they can knock out a chad.

[concerned about politics]

I like the speakers blouse.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

American in Tokyo posted: Japan offers US UNCONDITIONAL support. Who knew? Japan chooses US over (and in spite of) the UN! Did someone mention that the US and Japan pay the biggest share of Blix's UN wine bill?

[RummyChick]

well hell, ya think we would know if our special forces nabbed them

is the story true or NOT

sheesh...this war is going to be wild with all kinds of rumors given the first real war after the boom of the internet

[Consort]

The guy from Guinea doesn't look Italian to me.

[juzcuz]

Fox states:

UBL has 14-18 sons. Two have been caught are injured. Says 7-8 people killed in raid.

Maybe, UBL is among the dead or if still alive maybe the sons will be 'persuaded' to tell where UBL is.

[Catspaw]

Hamza is one of bin Laden's younger sons, I'd say about 12-15, in that range. I'll check on Saad.

[Otta B Sleepin]

I wish they'd turn the speaker's mike down.....hard to hear the interpreter.

[VRWC_minion]

I wonder if we have an Iraq conenction with O'sama that can now be shared after the capture of O'sama's sons ? Wouldn't it be wild ?

[bvw]

203 replies into a "live thread" -- yuck.

[Wait4Truth]

I reported above that CNN is reporting that U.S. intelligence says the story is untrue. We'll just have to wait and see.

[carton253]

That's why you wait until it is verified... otherwise you would be turning in circles trying to decide which one of twenty conflicting reports was correct.

[deport]

AP reporting the following;

Arrested were Saad and Hamza bin Laden, two of what are believed to be 14 to 18 sons of Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al-Qaida terrorist organization. Saad is believed closely tied to the operations of al-Qaida.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Someone's messing with the press. They're SOOOOO easy. Sigh.

[steveegg]

It's only CNN that's reporting that. MSNBC has reported that the White House has not yet confirmed (or denied) the arrests.

Enough of this <expletive deleted> protocol already. Here comes Mr. Magoo.
