Osama bin Laden is dead or deformed badly by shrapnel or so ill that he can't talk or show himself. No, I have not had the privilege of administering him his last rites or seen him buried or had a CIA agent whisper this information into my ear...

[zarf]

more speculation.....he's actually working for Hormel making "Potted Meat Product".

[Sungirl]

Why are you posting this as a thread?

[HiJinx]

Interesting concept. After reading the infamous last line, one is led to believe that even if Osama Bin Laden is alive he doesn't exist. Gives pause for thought...

[stanz]

It makes sense.......

[BOBTHENAILER]

Great post. I agree osammy is no longer with us and his passing is marked by the date I picked in the poll, April 16, 2002. Sabertooth needs to pay up.

There was the statement by the man who buried OBL back in Dec, and Musharraf's opinion sometime in Jan that indicate OBL had expired by Dec 15, possibly a little earlier. Of pneumonia brought on by the stress of an existing ailment, the need to keep moving, and the unhealthy air inside of caves in Afghanistan.

Why do you state your opinion as if it were fact? A lot of that on FR.

[Mr. Lucky]

Why do you ask?

[NorCoGOP]

Great. If he doesn't exist, then doesn't that mean that 9/11 never happened? Geez...the conspiracy theorists are going to have orgasms over this concept.....

[RightWhale]

Why do you state your opinion as if it were fact?

It's the beginning paragraph of a newspaper article.

[Hugin]

The fact that no one tried to camouflage or hide the background indicates that the people who sent the tape to the Al Jazeera TV station knew that the rocks and the mountains could disclose the location, but it did not matter anymore.

It looked like a blue screen job to me. But I agree with the premise, which I have been saying for months.

[Grampa Dave]

Er John, what is your problem?

TC posted the exact title as per the LA Times article and cited one of its paragraphs as it appeared in the article.

No where did TC post his opinion on this thread!

[rs79bm]

why not??? .... it's nice to know someone shares my same thoughts, too.

[Grampa Dave]

Why shouldn't TC post this a thread? Do we have to go through you for permission to post threads?

[Grampa Dave]

It appears that Dead Terrorist not walking has been starring in a lot of Weekends at Bennie Laden, Islamic Cult films lately!

[ThreeYearLurker]

I reckon I'll have me some of that potted meat, ummhumm.

[Preech1]

I have long been a proponent of the theory that there is no Osama Bin Laden, that he is a made up person, Like Emmanuel Goldstein from 1984.

The reason "he" was made the focus was that the real culprit of 9-11 was Saddam Hussein and we could not go after him at the time due to our military unreadiness, thanks to der Schlickmeister. So Afghanistan was a response to our immediate outrage after the attack and our desire to "Blow something up in return"...as well as provide our troops with a crash course in war.

Of course, I could be wrong...

[Centurion2000]

It looked like a blue screen job to me.

Scary, the thought of Osama bin Laden inside a Windows 2000 Blue Screen of Death .....

[Redcloak]

Bin Laden didn't show his face to the world for the last 41/2 months.

Another reason not to show his face: It's shaved and hiding under a burqa.
