MSNBC

[Bob Evans]

Just on MSNBC ...

The US Government is/has been asking Osama's family for DNA samples ... The feel he might have been killed during a missile strike!

Lets hope so! (:^>

But of course...need to make sure there remains room for the "Breaking" Condit reports...

Now Crunchy,

Just because a mere 100 Million or so radical Islamists around the globe are working and praying for your conversion or death, and willing to give their own lives for this religious goal, is no reason for you to panic.

You are very safe in the US, anyway, because of the 7 Million or so Muslims resident here, probably only a million or so share that goal, actively anyway. A scant few million more may offer only financial and moral support to their wayward brothers, while they try to rein in their behavioral excesses, of course.

I have been told on very good authority, by Muslims right on this site, that Islam is a religion of peace, love, and tolerance. This 10-12% of Muslims who are bad boys are therefore not that much of a problem. So what's your problem? It's not as if you were a Christian in The Sudan or East Timor.

Can't we all just get along?

You are very safe in the US

no were not remember 9-11? we were already in enough danger before then but that morning sealed the cold realization that were werent safe and that we havent been in a long time muslims dont want peace they want us dead plain and simple there koran no matter which version you look at its all the same "allah calls opon you to smite the unbelivers(christians and jews)" were all targets now...and this war on terror may work to some agree but theres one problem...everyone goes on saying its just the muslims...i wish it were true but my take on it is that behind the muslims the chinese are right there waiting and when they rear there ugly head...god save us all thank to the bent one...who knows how long it will be before the chicoms nuke us ..well it may not go that far

imagine this...were fighting the terrorists...we have all our military spread to various areas trying to take them out..all of a sudden theres no more attention on taiwan...perfect timing for the chinese to invade ..and then who knows after that it can go from them just nuking everyone..or trying to invade the u.s

I'm a bit surprised by a public request -- obviously, the government officials want to know the truth, but it serves official purposes (not creating a martyr to energize other Islamofascists, keeping the threat of Osama's next move before the public to maintain support) to keep his death (if he is dead) secret or at least uncertain.

[steve-b]

That the family has already been asked privately, and did not cooperate.

Great Ghu, are our intelligence agencies incapable of swiping a few hairbrushes or used bandages?

[PRO 1]

Now what makes you think there is anything left for a DNA sample after a Daisy Cutter. :O

This is news only to MSNBC.

[M. Thatcher]

Wait a minute. Months ago it was reported that the U.S.already had family DNA samples, including even possibly Osama's mother. And ever since the "scrap metal collectors" were killed, it was speculated that the tall one in a white robe surrounded by guards might be Osama. After the special forces collected the remains we've been sorta waiting for word on it (and also assuming that if it's a positive match the news will be held until the time is ripe). So what has happened to prompted this story TODAY?

[Miss Marple]

I am not an expert in DNA, but since they didn't have HIS DNA, but rather that of some of his relatives, perhaps they asked additional relatives to make the match even more mathematically probable.

OR, perhaps we didn't get him, and the relatives are releasing this trying to force our government's hand.

OR, perhaps MSNBC et al are trying to get the government to tell them something, so they are baiting with this article.

[Euro Freedom]

I can't believe that after all the work the USA and Bin Laden have done together over the years, including the CIA visit to him in a Saudi hospital in August 2001, they wouldn't already have his DNA.

[RoseofTexas]

Here we go again!

[Callahan]

Thank God we'll never have this problem with Clinton. He left DNA all over the carpet, the sink, the curtains.....

Thank God we'll never have this problem with Clinton. He left DNA all over the carpet, the sink, the curtains.....

And don't forget Monica's blue dress!

[Cuttnhorse]

Getting Osama family DNA is quite simple...just find a goat!

[BuckeyeOhio]

I believe a step-brother gave some DNA but the mother has refused. Any body ever think that maybe Bin Laden is a bastard in more ways than one? Maybe the father wasn't a Bin Laden?
