in the fourth night and the twenty from the ramadan

This makes the dating even clearer. The 7th and 10 from Ramadan means 17 days after Ramadan started, or December 2nd. The 4th night and 20 (when one might interpret that OBL died) would mean 24 days or December 9th, which is just about when the bombing was the heaviest.

Cool! Maybe it's true after all! Like I've said, one can dream!

If this is right then it perfectly lines up with what I remember, too. I've been telling everyone that there was one night (Dec8 or Dec9) when the new tickers on Fox went ape with things like:

1) White House notified of possible Bin Laden location

2) Calling in all available aircraft

Shortly after that we dropped a Daisy Cutter on Tora Bora. It was a very exciting evening. Then came news of the bogus "cease fire". I think we got him that night.
