The London based Al Hayat daily reported Thursday that United States forces may have captured Osama Bin Laden.

The newspaper quoted Pakastani military sources as saying Osama Bin Laden could have been one of the Al Qaeda leaders siezed by the United States.

If true, keep it quiet for awhile. The Libs and RATS will surely start whining that the war on terror is over, stop hurting the poor terrorists.

Like: Al Reuters, al AFP, al NY/LA Slimes, al ABCNNBCBS and al NewsWeak?

Here ya go Dave, I no problem stealing mhking's work. heheh.

[r9etb]

LOL!! I just love that pic. Cracks me up every time.

[marshmallow]

Bomshell! Braking!! Hugh!! Massif!! Monsta!! Wundafull!!

"Would we debrief him if caught for a couple of days?"

Well, read him 'rights' for sure. . .

Can only imagine the haggling from our 'friends' as to what would be done with/to Osama.

Dear Al Hayat chief of staff!

Today it´s MAY FIRST (!), and not April Fools Day! So please write the truth in your sh**** paper and don´t confuse us!

Sincerely,

Michael

[plain talk]

While you are quick to dismiss this report (so am I) you then add that OBL has been dead for a year as if it's fact. LOL! None of us know for sure what is true in this regard including you.

[presidio9]

If he's alive why haven't we heard from him? Do you believe in bigfoot?

[plain talk]

Well, maybe he doesn't wish to be caught! Maybe he has nothing to say to us and chooses to survive in order to 'speak' to us through future terrorist actions. Who knows?

[ASA Vet]

Actually, Elvis Bin Laden has been dead since before Dec 13th, 2001.
The "sightings" will slowly diminish as years pass.

I must confess surprise at the number of post Iraq Elvis Bin Laden postings.
I expected Elvis Hussein sightings to replace him.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks. I'm sure that Michael has no problem with you borrowing that great picture.

You picture and this one should have an automatic reply mechanism with any posting of a sighting of OBL.

Here is a funny one: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/903848/posts or "Springtime for Saddam!"

[presidio9]

I did read the 'damn' article. May I suggest less coffee in the morning.

Sorry. Just that I expected better from you. The story reads like a Three's Company script. Rhonda tells Mr. Ferley that she might go out with him if he were the last man on earth, and the news to Mr. Ferley is that he's got a chance. It all depends on how you look at it, I guess. But you were taken in and speculating like a schoolgirl.

I promise to cut back on the coffee though.

We've been through this before -- "Special Ops have OBL on the run and should have him by the end of the day (paraphrase)." Remember that before the Iraq war started?

I want to believe it, don't get me wrong, but I'm not going to throw a party yet.

[Hermann the Cherusker]

Of course they did not include Israel in "the world" as there were over 3000 attacks last year alone.

I suppose you could reach that number by including every crime a Palestinian committs against an Israeli as terrorism.

More to the point, how many suicide and other bombings took place in Israel last year. I know it was not 3000.

[scott7278]

"Would we debrief him if caught for a couple of days?"

"Give me back my underwear, you infidels!"

[ewing]

Didn't ABC News report that Sepcial Ops had Mullah Omar and OBL trapped in a convoy traveling in Pakistan?

[presidio9]

Nonsense. If he had nothing to say, he would not have allowed his supporters to release those bogus tapes. If he were alive, he would have at least addressed the war. In order for al Quaeda to stay strong relevant he needs to continue to attract followers. Suicide bombers are a single-use commodity.

[scott7278]

I believe you're right -- my memory is hazy, but it seems that SpOp's were supposedly ready to round up OBL and MO.

[redheadtoo]

Osama Bin Laden could have been one of the Al Qaeda leaders siezed by the United States.

In related news Adolph Hitler has been discovered alive in a hidden bunker in Berlin.
