CAUSE AND EFFECT

Osama (if he were alive, which he's not) could hold up a copy of the International Herald Tribune, which is available everywhere in Europe & I bet the rest of the world too, though maybe a few days late.

Steyn is right - we're keeping OBL 'alive' for political reasons.

He's in Iraq. Let's get him!

Oops, got away. He's in Iran. Let's get him!

Oops, got away. He's in ... (repeat as necessary)

[Aggie Mama]

My favorite. He's the best. I love the snide remarks about his penis size.

Mark Steyn ping!

Yes, I did read your reply to me re: Steyn on the Mencken thread the other day.
I just got overwhelmed with other replies & have been busy working on the NC Chapter of FR.

I have read Steyn before, but will pay closer attention to him now.
(I always read Florence King first because her column is on the inside last page od National Review)

[eureka!]

Yep. That was a theory very popular here during the operation in Tora Bora...

[Colonel_Flagg]

failing to find a body with a very long beard and a very short penis, concluded that Osama had gotten away.

Perhaps the most .. er .. cutting Steyn line I've ever read.

good lord...what a interminable screed. talk about saying very little with a whole lot of words.

It would be really stupid for Bush to come out say he's dead and then suddenly have him pop up... We would be the laughing stock of the world. It isn't worth the risk especially without having any hard evidence one way or the other. Bush has stated clearly that we simply don't know if he is alive or dead. I believe he doesn't know. How could he without a body?

I do think bin Laden is dead. I don't think he could remain quiet this long with the ego he has. The problem is, I could be wrong.

It looks like a Borg ship. Hard to imagine that the Star Trek guys modeled the Borg after the take no prisioners Muslim assimilation fanatics.

Is American cosseting of the House of Saud dead? That’s far harder to say.

A dead House of Saud beats a dead Osama in my book.

[jdogbearhunter]

Osama Bin Moldy!

[Miss Marple]

I still say he's dead and in a freezer in Cheney's cave. And I see nothing wrong with hiding his body for a while.

or even Oklahoma City, which seems more and more likely to have had a radical Islamic component.

This thought is popping up in more and more mainstream publications.
