NPR.org, July 22, 2009 · U.S. officials believe Saad bin Laden — a son of Osama bin Laden — has been killed by an American missile in Pakistan.

Saad bin Laden reportedly spent years under house arrest in Iran before traveling last year to Pakistan, according to former National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell.

It's believed he was killed by Hellfire missiles fired from a U.S. Predator drone sometime this year.

A senior U.S. counterterrorism official tells NPR that without a body to conduct DNA tests on, it's hard to be completely sure. But he characterized U.S. spy agencies as being "80 to 85 percent" certain that Saad bin Laden is dead.

You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain’t that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain’t that a shame?
You’re the one to blame

You broke my heart when you said we’ll part
Ain’t that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain’t that a shame?
You’re the one to blame

Farewell, goodbye, although I’ll cry
Ain’t that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain’t that a shame?
You’re the one to blame

To the contrary, tomorrow's headline:

[EvilOverlord]

I’m surprised Obama is letting this continue

Continuing, and increasing the rate of attacks, according to Bill Roggio's site.

I don't really understand why he's doing this, since he seems so willing to surrender on other fronts. Very strange.

On the other hand, Pakistan seems to be taking the Taliban more seriously these days, since they (the Taliban) have been taking more and more of the country. Maybe it's simply a matter of choosing the proper set of muslims for Obama to align with.

[marron]

Is this the same son who left Iran a couple of years ago to fight in Lebanon? This is during the time Olmert deployed the IDF into south Lebanon.

“Sa’ad is believed to have entered Pakistan’s northwest to meet with Zawahiri in Pakistan sometime in early September, according to Mike McConnell, the outgoing Director of National Intelligence.” Bill Roggio the Long War Journal

Perhaps the binladen spawn was killed during the Bush Administration...now that’s poetic justice.

[DFG]

[TADSLOS]

Nah, Hillary, yes. Biden, maybe. Obama- he’s an apologist, unless your talking about the destruction of the United States.
