Supporters of Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden hold his poster at pro-Taliban rally, Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2001 in Quetta, Pakistan. Partcipants of the rally chanted anti-American slogans and opposed possible military strikes by the United States on neighboring Afghanistan, where Osama is reportedly hiding. (AP Photo/B.K.Bangash)
I don't know if this deserves a separate thread, but the language regarding Osama bin Laden is indeed being softened, isn't it? Reminds me of CNN changing the references to Atta and Company from "terrorists" to "alleged hijackers".

Just send CNN an e-mail telling them Binny is registered Republican and opposes abortion. They'll go right back to describing him as an extremist terrorist.

I've been wondering, why do all their men wear diapers on their heads?

When is Oprah going to take her show over there with Dr. Phil and find out just what is Osama's problem?
Was he abused as an child? Was he bullied on the playground? I know! It was his liberal, public education!
Osama and company are like the "Trenchcoat Mafia" at their school...uh...."Raghead Mafia".
To: Lizavetta
Whatever. He is still a murdering animal. Soon to be a dead one, at that. I just hope we get all his supporting snakes, roaches, pigs and worms too...

Oh, let's not forget the media's liberal use of the words "tragedy", and "events" (of 9-11) instead of the more literal and accurate "massacre" and "attacks". Changing words eliminates the concept of BLAME which eliminates the concept of a GUILTY PARTY. This cannot be accidental.

My wife says that if Osama bin Lard is captured,
jailing him makes him a martyr and killing him makes him a martyr.
Therefore, the only solution is do a sex change surgery
on him and send 'her' back to the Taliban to live as a woman in their society...

"Saudi" is a key word here. We are going to find out more and more how deeply Saudi Arabia is involved in terrorist activity. OBL is NOT the Saudis' black sheep. They are up to their ears in supporting him at a very high level.IMHO

Your wife is a VERY smart woman! Her solution is perfect and smacks of poetic justice....I love it.

I've been wondering, why do all their men wear diapers on their heads? Because they have $h*t for brains?

Someone....on one of the Israel threads (I can't remember who) said that one of the major news services...and I think it was Yahoo is owned by Muslims. That accounts for why after Palestinians massacred Israelis, there are pics of sweet faced tender Pali children pictured, but little of the murderous damage and destruction done by the Palis. It is very one-sided and pro-Muslim. This being the case, what should we expect re their hero, Bin Laden? Soon that turban will be a halo and he'll be cradling a child.
