"Yes, Osama bin Laden is dead, but the jihad will continue until Judgment Day," he told United Arab Emirates newspaper Al Bayan

Send us your address, we can arrange that for you straight-away.

Cool story.

[Higgymonster]

It is a great story. I wonder why it's not getting the national attention it deserves. All I ever read from the press is that we created Bin Laden, we created Saddam, we..........Here's a lady that came from Viet Nam during the war, to the United States, and may have created the bomb that killed Bin Laden, ridding the world of scum. What, no national story? Didn't we create her?

[LibWhacker]

Another newsperson and I debated over whether such a massive blast would have only been used if we were pretty sure OBL was there.

I've always held out hope that that was when we got him, too. It's also nice to see that there were 320 fighters in the cave with him (if he was really there). In that one explosion, we may have taken out a whole bunch of his best fighters and top lieutenants.

My question is when Shahid says the cave was completely erased and "became nothing," I wonder if he just means the cave completely collapsed or the bomb blew the whole side of the mountain out, leaving nothing but a smoldering pit of ash, or what? If the former, I'd sure like us to get some heavy equipment up there and pull every boulder out of that hole so we could recover all the surviving teeth and bone fragments for DNA analysis. Make it a big archaeological expedition.

"I'm not dead yet!"

...but something happened between then and now for him to be so low-profile, and only appear recently sans AK.

the only cave of the 15 that was destroyed by an enormous 52ft (16m) missile

Diameter?

[Logic n' Reason]

"This was the only cave of the 15 that was destroyed by an enormous 52ft (16m) missile and there is no doubt that bin Laden died."

They had a little arab guy standing at the entrance to the cave with a measuring tape. At the missle flew by, he measured it, then jumped out of the cave before it exploded so he could tell the world exactly how long the missle was!

/sarcasm>

I was totally convinced he was dead. He's not even mostly dead.

[Salvation]

What about this recent video?

[HungarianGypsy]

Maybe they found their own Miracle Max to cure him.

[Dog Gone]

Yeah, that pretty much demolishes what I said on this thread two years ago.

[Mr. Wright]

Remember, Walter Cronkite said that the video was
a "Karl Rove" produced piece.

[Muzzle_em]

I thought in the most recent Osama video released by "Al jizz" last week, he spoke of recent events. Am I mistaken?

[Optimus Prime]

No you're not. What you're posting on is a two-year-old thread resurrected. Check the posting dates on the first couple of posts.

[truthandlife]

If this is true, did you notice that Al-Qaeda said this after the election so they would not help Bush? This makes sense and believe it is true.

[AlexW]

"I think anybody would discount htis report"..."not as protrayed here"

Yea, I did not have to read more then a few lines to see this as a really bogus story.

"The cave was completely erased from the ground and became nothing,"
"This was the only cave of the 15 that was destroyed by an enormous 52ft (16m) missile " (did he get out his tape measure before it hit?) Give me a break.

Well, I still think it is likeley that he is dead, but this story smells.

[Don Simmons]

I read a thread that says that President Kennedy has been assasinated.

What about that film I saw of him and Richard Nixon debating?

What about that, huh?!?!?! Yeah - I thought so!

:-p~~~

(You mean I need to look at the DATES on postings before I resurrect something? Why?)

[nw_arizona_granny]

if we had OBL, then he would have been President Bush's October Surprise.

With 8 billion muslims willing to hide him, there is no way to guess where he is.

Why he was in China, India, Iran and Pakistan last week alone.....

LOL

[Ranger]

your not mistaken. Note the date of the original post is over 2 years old! I don't know why this is being recirculated. Beats me as its obviously wrong.
