How do we confirm it? Do we have fingerprints, DNA sample, what?

I'm with you. If this were true, those responsible would have done it to bring the bombing to an end while there was still something to save. Since that hasn't happened, I'm very skeptical.

How many guys in the middle east are six foot six inches tall? Once he is dead, as in "You killed her, Dorothy", they better show us the remains next to a big ruler so we can see for ourselves. I also heard that he has an enlarged heart probably due to his height (Marfan's?). Heard he has a little BLANK. I say we nuke the caves if we have to. I am so sick of them bragging about their darn caves. Every night. Cave this.

IIRC, we have tissue samples from bin Laden's mother, so we can do a DNA test.

Wow. Where did you hear that?

Maybe those mystery caskets are explained in part... Full article -HERE-

Excerpt:

"A group was seen bringing the bodies of 11 of the dead Pakistani militants to the Torkham border crossing Wednesday between Afghanistan and Pakistan, hoping to bury them in their homeland. The Pakistani border guards refused to let them cross, said a local Taliban security chief, Noor Mohammed Hanifi.

"They said, ‘You wanted to fight with the Taliban then you can bury your dead in Afghanistan,"’ Hanifi said.

----end

On another note, I read recently that someone had escaped a country in a casket as it was the only way our of that country. I hope all caskets are checked. fwiw

We must destroy all the heads of this hydra-headed monster. Then destroy the nest that breeds them.

"Chinese News Service Reports: Osama bin Laden Killed?"

This is unfair!! Why ist that all of the possible good news is always unconfirmed. I suppose we can always keep hoping.

If both leaders were killed by the U.S., would the Taliban would want to divert credit from those kills and claim that their own men turned on them? If the Taliban turned on them, would they want to claim that the U.S. did it? Not that they are that media savvy, but the spin on their deaths would be important. Were they martyred or were they massacred?

Whoever did it will claim credit. It's worth $50 million. Can you imagine the preassure you would be under if you were around him all of the time? "I know he's an old friend...but $50 MILLION DOLLARS!!!"

As long as the confirmation's beyond a shadow of a doubt?
Fine & dandy.

LAST thing the nation needs now is to have this clymer operating with any more stealth than he already enjoys then taking more cheap shots like this Anthrax thing.
IF there's claim he's been taken out?
Proof of his demise is what'll sate nearly anyone I know including myself.

I think you'd agree.

Sounds like Saddam has been advising bin Laden and Omar: I recall at least two false reports originating out of that part of the world about him being assassinated sometime around Desert Storm. Don't get your hopes up, everyone.

One thing is for sure, the Afghan Ambassador to Pakistan has made a big point of suddenly calling a conference to state clearly that both Omar and Osama are safe and alive; he (the Ambassador) is reported to also be going to Kabul ASAP for consultations. This strikes me as a bit weird.

Maybe they just have a cold.

Thanks for the info with the caveat! At the very least, it gives us a chance to discredit the report you heard. Anyway, freepers look out for one another, you did good.

Pike my butt!! I want to see a member of our special forces walking down from the mountains or out of the desert carrying the beheaded head of yosamma yo mamma by his tongue, (because they shaved his head & beard before they beheaded him).

So I have a dark side, Constitution Day will have to deal with it.

I can't read Chinese all that well, but the Yomiuri report merely states that the Chinese are reporting that Bin Laden and Omar may have been assassinated.

...and the Chinese report says that the alleged assassinations happened on the 16th of October. I saw Omar on TV just a few days ago, so I'm sure at least that part isn't true.
