Confirm it. Then wait for the towelheads to prove otherwise!

[freeangel]

Oh, please. If it was a commonly reliable source--why didn't someone really know where obl waas long ago?

[dubie]

interesting this story comes out... and if you recall recently in the last week or so we got news that there would be a "final" message from bin laden and this would preclude the suitcase nuke detonations in the USA... last message may just mean that... he is dead and can't make any more...

[nuconvert]

rumor? pong

[newnhdad]

this would be classic if it would be confirmed right after the Clintoon interview on FNC saying the "rightwingers" didn't get him..
That would really cement his rapist, perjuring, impeachment legacy..

I thought Rove's October surprise would be the announcement of Bin Laden's death.

I can confirm that he was an insect :-)

a French newspaper report

Sigh

That's where I get all of my reliable news.

Didn't the Bush Air Guard story start as a French newspapter report?

Well, I hope he's rotting. If we're lucky, someone tossed some pork grease on his carcass.

[Bean Counter]

Show me the body. Nothing else will do.

This guy has been dead so many times that he, himself, is the definition of a Holocaust.</p>

[Maine For Bush]

Frankly, I'm going to be pissed if he died from a flu bug and not a cruise missile up his *ss!!!

Bin Laden has more than likely been dead for a long time. It makes no sense for him to be a loud mouth Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson type with threats and then just stop with little output from him all at once. Bin Laden, alive, would know the value of sending out radio messages and videos (more often than what is being sent out now) to the insurgents in Iraq and the world. Its a no brainer that he could do this(send out messages) with impunity and not have to worry about the CIA or the Intelligence community.

I just saw this on FOX News!

Unconfirmed report that UBL died on 8/26/06.

"The information gathered by the Saudis indicates that the head of al Qaeda was a victim while he was in Pakistan on August 23, 2006, of a very serious case of typhoid which led to a partial paralysis of his internal organs."

[bitty]

I agree we need to confirm it. Then it is up to them to disprove it. We want know one way or the other if we don't.

[JCEccles]

Intriguing. Osama bin Laden's funeral?

[MNJohnnie]

BS. Few of things it could be.

The US SOF are too close and the Terrorist are trying to throw them off the trail.

Bin Laden finally figured out the best way to help his cause it to play dead. His American allies, the Democrat party think he is dead, they can claim we don't need to fight the war anymore.

The story is a pure PR plant hoping to influence the American elections.

Simple disinformation to keep the situation confused.

What it is NOT likely to be is true. Bin Laden dying of Typhoid is highly unlikely. Given his experience and educational background it is highly unlikely he would not take the simple basic sanitary steps necessary to avoid Typhoid.

[NordP]

Excellent point - I love how you think.
