Bin Laden Dead?

Ibby · 09-23-2006, 09:43 PM

According to a few arab newspapers, Osama died last monthish. (look them up, cant look for them now, sorry)

I say bullshit, Al-Qaida would hail him as a martyr. They have more to gain than lose if he's dead.

Only if he was killed by Americans in circumstances they could print...

Y'know, I didnt think about him dying otherwise, but werent there rumours of him being sick?

I heard on the news tonight that he had died of chlorera in Pakistan. The newscaster also noted that Bin Laden had been ill lately. Wouldn't that be ironic. All that stuff about WMD's and Iraq, and we send a zillion soldiers over to deciment Iraq, and Bin Laden dies in another country without anyone ever having fired a shot at him.

If that's what happened, I bet he'll be disposed of secretly, and his terrorist pals will claim he's still alive, so don't worry, we'll still be able to go kill ragheads.

Hmmm. Typhoid. Water borne illness. Water runs downhill form the mountains at the Afghan border. CIA is in Afghanistan. Interesting, but if the story is true, he more likely took a drink downstream from a pile of donkey dung or the effluent of one of his fellow Jihadists.

It does deprive the US of the PR value of parading around a captured OBL, but that was unlikely to happen anyway.

Shitting his guts out in some fetid mud hut away from the media, his family and his pin-up pictures of Whitney Houston is a fitting end for the useless camel-shagger. Glorious, simply glorious. One hopes there are proper bathing facilities avialable before he goes to visit the 72 virgins because he is likely to be ripe.

From a geo-political standpoint, he should have tried to hold on till the November elections to give the Dems a boost.

At this point, I'm not sure if him being dead is good or not. The implications of his death are endless.

Beestie · 09-24-2006, 01:40 AM

I think his absence would give the Dems a boost. The world would be more peaceful and the Pubs have used terrorism not only to justify wiping their asses with the Constitution, Bill of Rights and long-standing international treaties but also to justify completely ignoring anything going on within our own borders.

Without bin Laden, the Pubs got nuthin and its their own fault. I frankly would not be surprised at all to learn that he's been dead for years and that our government knew about it but didn't tell anybody.

If Osama died from cholera, I think it is at least partly due to his having to keep hiding in some godforsaken hole somewhere because we wanted to kill him.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-24-2006, 07:19 AM

I thought he was sick from the git-go.....kidney failure or something like that?? Wasn't that one of the reasons we were frustrated about not being able to catch up with him in Tora Bora or Wolf's Hole?

Griff · 09-24-2006, 07:25 AM

Some of the news items are denying he had the kidney problems. A quiet disappearance from the stage might be for the best, but in the deepest darkest place in my soul, I've wanted something much uglier.

Tora Bora's twin, Zhawar Kili Al-Badr, is known as Wolf's hole.

Yep, a little Wag the Dog action going on!

I don't agree, W has pushed Bin Laden into the background for some time. al-Qaeda gets less play, too. It's been more generic, insurgents & terrorists, those that hate freedom, and recently.... Radical Islamics.

He doesn't want to get too specific about who the enemy is, for fear someone might declare the war on terror, over.

The other plus to Bush's lack of specificity is that it keeps the entire Muslim world in a bad mood, so little Arab kids can grow up to be just like Daddy and go blow things up. Its a nice psychological mind game designed to keep both sides at each other's throats. Crafty, eh? Cheney must have thought that one up for Jr.
