EDITORIAL: Bin Laden is dead, again

The Washington Times ^ | May 1, 2009 | Editorial

Osama bin Laden is dead, according to Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari. This week he stunned the world with the exciting news that Pakistan's intelligence services have "obviously" concluded that bin Laden "does not exist any more, that he is dead."

OBL dead? Again?

[Candor7]

Produce his remains if he is "dead."

And then we will kill him again.

Ever-so-slightly-misleading title for an OpEd. I bit, I’ll admit.

Some JDAM got him years ago. If he was still around, why is his quality of audio/video so crappy? What region is his DVD recorder?

[supremedoctrine]

It’s been pretty obvious he’s been dead for four or five years now/

Good evening. Another "Weekend at Bernie's," thread for you enjoyment.

Jeez, what an editorial. It does a full 180 degree turn.

Starts out with Zardari saying he’s dead, and then ends with Zardari saying maybe not so much.

Osama accomplished his goal of placing his man in the White House and then checked out. It makes perfect sense

I wish I could remember who said that the other day.

Barack Obama IS the next Muslim attack on America.

[Revolting cat!]

[Munz]

If he was dead we would know. The muslim world would be wailing and blaming Obama the war criminal etc.

He is hunkered down in some cave in Pakistan hiding from drones is all.

We will hear from him on some holiday of importance to him, us or after some major attack that he will congradulate the terrorists for.

Osama isn’t dead. Didn’t he get elected president?

Oh wait, that’s Obama. Silly me.

“In other news, General Francissimo Franco is also still dead.”

That’s the first thing I thought of. Didn’t it take about 6 months for him to really die after it was first reported that he was dead?

[callmejoe]

Thanks. Looks like this story came out several days ago. It is just a variant of the “he’s not in Pakistan” line they have repeated since 9/11. And “if we had intelligence he was in Pakistan we would get him”. They have us breathing down their necks over the nukes and their inability to keep their house in order. They are trying to deflect all the attention. I wouldn’t trust anything the Pakistanis say at this point with their country coming apart at the seams.

Yep.
