Osama In Coma, Near Death

John Batchelor, WABC Radio - NYC ^ | February 15, 2003 | TommyDale

Just before midnight last night, John Batchelor, on location in Kazahkistan, reported that Osama Bin Laden is under heavy guard in a cave in Western Pakistan. He is yellow in color, from failing kidneys, and slips in and out of a coma. The required kidney dialysis has failed to help him.

Apparently, when he comes out of a coma for a brief period, they will record his voice. Of course, if he dies soon, he will be denied his wish for martyrdom. It was stated that some see this as a punishment from God.

[Just mythoughts]

So what is our Heavenly Father's vengence?

"Love your enemies" We are also told if we spare the rod we spoil the child. So if we are to correct our children out of love, seems like loving our enemies requires carrying a "BIG STICK"

It is also written that Christ will return with a two-edge sword, so who is He going to use that on? Christ first advent was a sacrificial lamb, second advent He is coming to clean house. Christians are suppose have gospel armour on to stand against the firey darts of Satan.

You can forgive all you want but to accurately describe what it take to gain forgiveness, is repentence.

It is possible Al-Quada might try to orchestrate an attack because of the celestial signs. I see evidence that the date 9-11 was chosen for symbolic reasons and not just practical reasons of strategic timing.

There are so many significant dates in history...so many possible permutations of numbers...and so many strange coincidences in life that the astrological signifigance of Ramadan leaves me underwhelmed.

I found myself getting caught up in the Y2K scare, and I remember promises of Armegedon because 1999 contains the number 666 upsidedown. Right now I don't think America is very vulnerable to Al-Quada attack. Al-Quada is very weak and disorganized, no more powerful than the PLO. The stars may say the time is right for action, but the followers are not filled with the spirit.

Wow--a greaet act of martydom via a failed liver

How does a 'clean living' (no booze, drugs, etc.) Muslim develop Liver disease at his age??

Something about this isn't right!

[Vigilanteman]

Gee, if he wanted martyrdom, all he'd have to do is make a call on a traceable cell phone and wait for the drones.

>> Normally you don't turn yellow with end stage kidney disease. You turn yellow with end stage liver disease, ie Jaundice.

Radiation sickness?

>"Love and forgive our enemies?

>>Not unless and until our enemies repent is forgiveness required by us.

I was going to say the same thing. Repetance must precede forgiveness.

[unspun]

God's vengence is irrecoverable, eternal damnation, something far worse than anything we could "do." (Yet it's separation from Him, for the sake of those who choose Him.)

Once again, vengence is His. In Christ, he has already forgiven all men. The sacrifice has already been made, once for all. Remember, Jesus said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Then He said, "It is accomplished." Only those who turn to Him will accept forgiveness, however.

As Christ and his disciples relate, things such as swords and rods are still to be used.

In the most recent 'aired' tape, binny makes reference to 'last year' as Oct 2001. I agree with the cave caulk notion.

[hotpotato]

Yep. That's the one. Thanks :-)

Addendum:

Love thy neighbor, but pick your neighborhood.

An eye for an eye, and a broken leg for a broken leg. (I just made this one up). :)

If the report is coming out of Kazahikstan then someone coming 'over the mountains' has brought this tidbit of info out of the Tora Bora region. Disinformation or hearsay?

How about a month or so? I've taken care of patients who refused further dialysis treatment and one was 39 days in a hospital bed very ill but hanging on.

[Conservative til I die]

And Batchellor knows this how exactly. Is he having liasons with Osama in the cave? Sounds like the bunk that a lot of FReepers post that usually starts with "My brother's a cop/soldier/doctor/government worker and he said..."

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

When osama actually dies [if hes even alive] We should all as Americans run out into the streets and dance around like the infedels we are and sing and have osama's dead block partys and we could have GUNS and FIRE TRUCKS and HOOK .....oops wrong movie

[3D-JOY]

You might be right.

We had exactly 7 days and that was more than predicted.

Poisons built up and heart failed. He may be able to stay on medications. I forgot it is only Medicare that will not allow you to support life in 2 ways!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I was angry to find that out later!

[3D-JOY]

You really had me laughing and thinking about them showing us on their TV screens!

[The Grammarian]

Rofl, what an interesting cartoon.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

My brother is a garbage man. He found a document in the trash the other day that confirms bin Laden is near death.

[LaGrone]

The Pee must be backing up on him! LOL

So how is this reporter on 'location' any more than you or I?

Batchelor (with Alexander) has a nightly program on WABC
covering the War on Terror
that has been running since 09-11-01.

He has sources all over the world including many in Pakistan.

I would go so far as to say
he has the best sources of anyone covering this story.
