I thought Osama was dead, but capture would work too!

Did they find some paste on a cave wall in Afghanistan to clone?

Dead or alive? Either way, it's all good.

NO NO NO!!! Osama's caught, therefore no more war on terror, therefore no more need for Bush.

When I know more, you'll know more. Let's hope the source is as good as when Hussein was caught.

Hmmm... I see you broke that news last year, so you must be legit. Plus you're sure no newbie...

Is that a "shoot on sight" flyer?

Yes, but only with rubber bands...

...either that, or chase him around and snap him with the wet corner of a rolled-up terricloth towel.

Where are these rumors coming from?

There are no rumors flying around from this side of the theater.

Post more or I'll be there in 10 minutes to lash you with my whip.

Me too. At the very least, show us a bit of flesh before we die from the suspense :)

Like: What rumors? How many? Credibility scale 1 to 5?

Latest I've got from the wires:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Pakistani forces moved into areas of their country's border with Afghanistan after satellite telephone intercepts indicated al-Qaida members were hiding there, security officials said yesterday . There was no indication al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was involved, but two intelligence officials said participants discussed a man called "Shaikh," a code name for bin Laden.

"Some people who were speaking in Arabic have been heard saying Shaikh is in good health," one official said.

The conversations took place last year, but it was not clear when the U.S. shared its information with Pakistan.

Although security officials caution they have no confirmed information on bin Laden's whereabouts, Pakistani rapid reaction forces have been deployed to areas along the border, a mountainous landscape that runs 3,200 miles from the Himalayas in Pakistan's northern territories to the desert of southwestern Baluchistan.

"We are not close to capturing Osama, but all efforts and operations are directed at finding clues about his whereabouts," a senior government official said.

I'm sure the Leftists will cry fowl either way. If Osama's on the loose, the Bush shouldn't be President 'cause he can't catch him. And if Osama's in U.S. custody, then Bush shouldn't be President 'cause Osama's no longer at large.

And I'm sure John Kerry and the rest of the Dumbocrats will insist that they'd have found Osama sooner than Bush...

Yep. Maybe I'll just give up on it and go make a pot of coffee. That's what got me in this mess to begin with!

Gigantor, if this is for real, this is way cool. An FR exclusive! But I'm keeping my whip handy, just in case. ;-)

Well, yeah, the Dems will find something wrong with it, but the swing vote would be settled. Locked in solid.

Well sure he will. Osama has just been waiting to turn himself in to "law enforcement".

Hi Allegra. Good to see you here. This guy broke the story on Saddam's capture so I have high hopes.
