It's not really all that wierd when you think about it.

CNN admitted they were hiding Saddams atrocities because they wanted to keep their Baghdad bureau open. Oh they were real quiet about it, but they did admit it.

But you've got to admit the mental picture of OBL squatting in a cave, hooked up to a dialysis machine, with a satellite feed to Atlanta all powered by a Honda generator humming in the background has a certain morbid humor to it.

These days it wouldn't shock me if LK did a phone interview with Osama...

"Hello Tora Bora...."

So a CNN terrorism analyst/"expert" is telling us that UBL loves CNN, huh?

Sounds like a a steamin' pile of Cafferty to me.

That said, Parachinar, Pakistan, Hello!

So HE is their viewer.

I was wondering who that was.

I thought it was Al Gore.

Yeah, and I bet he's actually lying about watching Larry King.

A side thought on OBL's offer of a truce.

I heard a commentator a few weeks ago explain that it is Islamic custom to offer an enemy a truce before pounding the sh.. out of them. Apparently, OBL has offered truces before in conflict situations; then he strikes about 9 months to a year later. This time right before or after the November elections??

If this is true, its a good thing. OBL gets a skewed view of America's resolve and intentions--kind of like surrounding yourself with yes-men. I'd be more worried if he watched Fox News Channel.

CNN is Bin Laden's Favorite Network

I could have written that story a few years ago...

No surprise.
