Osama In Coma, Near Death
John Batchelor, WABC Radio - NYC ^ | February 15, 2003 | TommyDale

Posted on 02/15/2003 8:15:06 AM PST by 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.

Not a very pretty way to go and that could explain the audio tapes and no video. If his followers see how sick he is they will get discouraged and realize his is just as vunerable as they are. If this is true it should be posted all over the media because they should know he is dying and NOT a Martyr

WABC Radio (770 AM) can be picked up in 38 states. In addition, stations carry their weekend show such as Charlotte (1110 AM).

FYI

How would you grade Sec. of State Powell's U-N address
A+ Hit a home run, who could doubt us now? 71%
B, very convincing, but no smoking gun 17%  
C, nothing we did not already know 6%
D, like so what, Saddam can't hurt us 2%
F, he should go back to his Bronx High School 4%

Tommy, I was listening to the show and heard Batchalors comments. He was talking to one of the retired generals who is always on the show.

He mentioned that he would be talking about that story later. I believe the show is on tonight. I'll check it out and see if he mentions it again.

The time is ripe for a transplant of a cancerous kidney from a HIV postive pig.

If some see this as punishment from God, that's fabulous news since it completely discredits him in their eyes.

I must say this seems like a very plausible answer to the Osama riddle. It explains the tapes and the complete and total lack of effectiveness in Al Queda.

I think this is a better outcome than death - he's dying, totally ineffective, and not a martyr.

I think the Yellow color is a result of the stripe down his stinking cowardly, chickens$!# back, ...

Oh yeah. So true. And Saddam is just the same...paying for kids to blow themselves up over in Pakistan and hiding his military within civilian areas (attempting to depend on our humanity sense he is too weak to have any himself). Talk about cowards....

Osama and Saddam-running, hiding in caves and using 'look alikes' to stand in for them-what absolute COWARDS.

I guess the first qualification for being a terrorist is a huge cowardice (hitting on unarmed, unsuspecting civilians-geeez) and the promise of getting a bunch of virgins into bed...so I suppose, it follows, that a third qualification is a great big impotence problem, since virgins have no means of comparing ... ya know what I mean? hehe

Bunch of unmen, that is what islamic terrorists are. Failed human beings.

Batchelor and Alexander are heard in 38 states now? I thought they were only on WABC in NYC.

WABC radio has 50,000 watts of power. They can be picked up across the east coast.

We will need pictures, and then what will the dems use next to stop the war of freeing the people in Iraq? They have been using obladen still alive, got the other socialist countries to obstruct. What will they come up with to fill the void of no more OBLaden?

The day that we see this guys dead body will be a big problem for Hillary, what will happen to that straw dog of have to get OBLaden first.

Patty Murray will be in total distress, hope someone can comfort her. (NOT)

Oh, so Ra's Al Ghul is about to drop dead? Where's his Lazarus Pit so he can continue his struggle against Batman?

LOL! Batcave bump.

Considering the 'ethics' of those people, who of us would be surprised if one of his closest battle buddies will tape it for posterity.

My hopes and dreams are based on his last statement that he'd become a martyr this year. I fantasize that Al Quaeda will get that crop duster and from about 10,000 feet, dump Osama over some city with lots of media coverage. Osama bomber.

If the US intelligence can't find him, how did this reporter get this kind of information? How do we know this is true?
