How many times has this guy been dead in the last few years.

[Condor51]

Has he really died of typhoid?

Well ... since it's not a good idea health wise to poop & pee where you eat and drink, and considering most caves don't have toilets I'd say its very possible.

(They didn't reverse the flow of the Chicago River for nothing. Typhoid was killing thousands.)

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.

[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.

[vigilante2]

this guy’s died as many times as castro

[Sue Perkick]

Dead? Yes. But only once.

[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.

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.

[The Great RJ]

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

[loreldan]

He’s dead, and has been for a few years. If it was officially anounced his “martyrdom” would be used for new recruits for al Qaeda and breathe new life into that terror organization. Right now they are only capable of small attacks - mainly in Iraq. We’re letting them die on the vine.

[rineaux]

Seanrobins you started this thread, so what is the count of freepers who think he is alive or dead?

IMO, he is dead.

[Southack]

Did you post the wrong date on your article? Chirac isn’t President of crap any longer.

[Southack]

This article has the incorrect date. It was FIRST POSTED SEPTEMBER 23, 2006.

"... according to a highly classified intelligence brief given to the King of Saudi Arabia and President Chirac this week, ..."

Errrr... Chirac is not President this "week." This seems like an old recycled article.

It is likely to mean not so much "back to basics" in tackling terrorism, but back to the practicalities of how to deal with terrorists in the real world.

And... the article ends with the trademark liberal emotional, illogical and irrational rant.
