He seems to be taking a long time to die.

[Robert A Cook PE]

To ask the question differently: Show me any proof he is alive.

[Publius6961]

Has he really died of typhoid?

I hope so.
Next month he can die of Cholera, then there's the plague...
There's ebola.

Allah can play with him a long long time. I hope, getting what he deserves.

“Huh? Chirac is still in office? This must be news to Sarkozy.”

Yeah, that had me scratching my bald head too.

[Blue_Ridge_Mtn_Geek]

Yes, the media rumor mill is like Hollywood treatment of “blockbuster” flicks - - they always want to leave room for multiple sequels. What is it now? “Bin Laden dead XXII” or “Bin Laden dead XXVII”? I lost count a few years ago.

[Galactica]

I saw this same article about a year ago when Chirac was still the president. This seems like a re-run trying to be passed off as new news.

[Publius6961]

Osama who?

Doesn't matter if he's dead or not as long as he acts dead.

Just saying.

[Calpernia]

IMO, he has been contained for years.

[Wil H]

Don’t say “dead”. Say “carbon neutral”.

He won't be carbon neutral until he's totally decomposed..

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

You haven’t provided any evidence that what you posted is true.

[vigilante2]

this guy’s died as many times as castro

[Sue Perkick]

Dead? Yes. But only once.

[Sue Perkick]

The day he found out the daisy cutter is not a ship.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Clearly, but at least he’s not practicing the heinous habit of respiration.

[do the dhue]

My guess is, bin laden is little tiny pieces of DNA. I say that if we know he is dead, then we don’t tell a soul about it. If you tell the rats that ubl is dead, they will think the war is over. Heck, the rats already think that. And just cause he is dead, doesn’t mean that al qeada will quit fighting.

Matter of fact, if I am al qeada and he dies, I would damn a river, bury ubl in the river bed and then let the damn go. We would never find him and they could try and keep his spirit alive.

[Artemis Webb]

The death of bin Laden, if it is confirmed, will be cloaked in the propaganda of martyrdom, mourning and revenge. It could also trigger a major rethink of such notions as "Global War on Terror", which is long overdue. It will be a blow to the sloganising of the neo-conservatives - and their notion of the "clash of civilisations" - and to the high-flown rhetoric of President Bush and Prime Minister Blair.

The Jerusalem Post can do better than this kind of foolish babble. Not to mention the writer can't use spell check.

We would never find him and they could try and keep his spirit alive.

You may have a point.

Keeps the spirt alive and the recruitment going. Who wants to follow the second in command nitwit, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Positively, absolutely

Undeniably and reliably dead

As Coroner , I thoroughly examined her
And she’s not only merely dead
She’s really most sincerely dead

(Mayor)
Then this is a day of independence for all the munchkins
And their descendants
Yes, let the joyous news be spread
The wicked old witch at last is dead

[The Great RJ]

If he had only gotten his health care in Cuba he would be alive. (sarcasm)
