Osama Paki-pool Update:


Osama bin DEAD-pool

Pick a day! Any day! Or flag me for a QikPik!

Update

In the past week, sightings of Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan have surpassed those of Elvis in Vegas.
Is it almost over for the Scumbeard of the Year? Or are these all wild goose chases?
What day do you think he's learn the truth about the 72 virgins and the 28 little boys?

Or are you even in the game? Still plenty of open dates, so flag me on this thread (not my mailbox) if you want in.
As you've noticed, since he doesn't look like he'll make it to Pakistan,
I went ahead and changed the name of the pool. Sue me.

KayEyeDoubleDee raised a good question a while back... What's the effective time zone for the pool?
I should have established this earlier, so I think the only fair thing to do is say that it's
whatever Time Zone bin Laden is killed in (or appears in Pakistan, which seems increasingly unlikely.)

In the event that bin Laden turns out to have been killed already, we'll wait until a reliable forensic report
(meaning, the stage of maggot development on his rotten carcass) before declaring a winner.

ANNOUNCEMENT

from Recovering_Democrat

SABERTOOTH'S POOL IS NOW GOING TO BE CONSIDERED THE POOL FOR THE WINNER.
RECOVERING DEMOCRAT WILL DONATE $25 TO FR IN THE NAME OF THE WINNER OF **SABERTOOTH'S** POOL!

(sorry folks. I didn't know there was a pool already going! I meant to do something ORIGINAL.
No need to have two going at once, so I'll rely on Sabertooth to provide the name of the winner! Thanks ST! rd)

Hey, thank YOU, RD! As far as I'm concerned, if you thought of it yourself, it's original. And I doubt I was the first
But it was your great idea to give $25 in the name of the winner to Free Republic.
If you don't mind, I think I'll match that, in addition to posting a glory thread with the winner's name on it. henbane… Sabertooth

ANNOUNCEMENT

from henbane: and glock rocks have both chipped $25 pledges into the DEAD-pool.

If you're unsure what the whole "Paki-pool" idea was about, click this link to a thread posted by Travis McGee on October 25th...

Will Osama Appear In Pakistan?

The operating theory is was that Osama bin Laden had a plan all along to show up in Pakistan, have himself declared the "Imam al-Mahdi" (a long-prophesied Islamic savior-figure), and start a civil war in an attempt to gain control of Pakistan's nukes.

Sound crazy? So is he. Crazy evil. It's still an interesting read.

Here's another:
   Black Flags of Islam  

Portents of the Imam al-Mahdi, the Moslems' prophesied deliverer of Jerusalem?

Voices in my head are telling me that Osama was killed on my birthday, Jan 13. I believe the voices. Please declare me the winner. Thanks.

Since it grows increasingly likely that no one will know that exact date Osama died, my methodology is as good as any other, in fact better from my point of view.

How about making it the day his ass is found? They always say the time of death is hard to determine, probably harder when you get blowed up, and all those maggots must be flying by now(unless they're frozen).

The strike occurred Monday night near the cave complex known as Zawar Khili and so far intelligence officials have not been able to confirm the identities of any of the al Qaeda leaders. Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants are believed to have been hiding at Zawar Khili since escaping the bombing of Tora Bora two months ago.

I just thought of a question regarding the pool.
Is the winner decided by who has the date closest to Osama's death or the date that we learn about his death? What if the CIA, for example declares on Feb. 24th, that he died perhaps two weeks ago but they are not sure of the date. Would HAL9000 win the pool or would someone that has a date closer to the approximate date win?
I was just wondering based on some of the info leaked after Mr. Tenet began testifying on the Hill this week.
