Well, in just a minute the crack Fox and Friends weekend team will give us the scoop on this... Well, if Osmam hasn't been nabbed, at least we can look at Julet Huddy! Gad, to be 30 years younger and a whole lot better looking... and rich.

Could be difficult since in more than one post, you repost with the italics to indicate you are replying to another only after you forgot the first time.

Bin Laden 'surrounded'
February 22, 2004
A BRITISH Sunday newspaper is claiming Osama bin Laden has been found and is surrounded by US special forces in an area of land bordering north-west Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The Sunday Express, known for its sometimes colourful scoops, claims the al-Qaeda leader has been "sighted" for the first time since 2001 and is being monitored by satellite.
The paper claims he is in a mountainous area to the north of the Pakistani city of Quetta. The region is said to be peopled with bin Laden supporters and the terrorist leader is estimated to also have 50 of his fanatical bodyguards with him.
The claim is attributed to "a well-placed intelligence source" in Washington, who is quoted as saying: "He (bin Laden) is boxed in."
The paper says the hostile terrain makes an all-out conventional military assault impossible. The plan to capture him would depend on a "grab-him-and-go" style operation.
"US helicopters already sited on the Afghanistan border will swoop in to extricate him," the newspaper says. It claims bin Laden and his men "sleep in caves or out in the open. The area is swept by fierce snow storms howling down from the 10,000ft-high mountain peaks. Donkeys are the only transport."
The special forces are "absolutely confident" there is no escape for bin Laden, and are awaiting the order to go in and get him.

I don't believe these stories about Osama surrounded, because he doesn't strike me to be as much of a puss-boy as Hussein. He'll kill himself.
To: BlackVeil
US DoD just denied the report......DAMNED
To: kcvl; Fenris6
Thanks for the update. It looks as if the story has already been officially denied. But there may be more stories in the next few days.

"A senior U.S. defense official denied the report, telling Reuters it was "another piece of stray voltage that's passing around out there."

I don't think he will. I have yet to see one of these "leaders" choose martyrdom. That is for the grunts.

These people are truly insane. They believe any ridiculous thing the dems say and will do ANYthing to defeat Bush. This is no joke, they will do anything. That's why the republican voice must be heard we need to to gather support and get the message and our vote out on election day.
To: Fledermaus
so sue me....people shouldnt jump the gun trying to "get some dirt" on people...god knows SOME people at furiously scanning all my old quotes looking for the bragging rights to say "gotcha...na na boo boo I gotcha, you said something mean here in this thread!"
To: KQQL
sounds like IRANIAN radio is spreading rumors....this time Yeah, I figure so too. But the rumor seems to be news too. A good
way to wake folks up on a Saturday morning, anyway ! ;^)
