Osama is 'well and healthy'
Source: TIMES NOW INDIA

Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden is "healthy and well," the network's number two leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has said in an audio message today (April 3), according to a US group monitoring Islamist websites.

"Sheikh Osama bin Laden is healthy and well by the grace of Allah," Zawahiri said yesterday in the audio released by Al-Qaeda's media arm, As-Sahab, according to a transcript provided by IntelCentre.

"The prejudiced ones always try to spread false information about him being ill, but even if Osama bin Laden doesn't become ill, he must die one day, whereas Allah's religion will remain until Allah inherits the Earth and everything on it," he said.

31. I don't know any American who actually thinks he's alive
Our neighbor was just joking around the other day about how they put a wig on Cheney for the last one.
This neighbor voted for Bush the first time.

35. I've seen stories about people accidentally declared 'dead'
It's a horror maze through every conceivable brand of red tape to 'bring someone back.'

So, in a way, it's easier to prove that you're dead than to prove that you're alive.

8. Of course he's well and healthy, hell, he's tan and fit too.
All from hiding out at Bebe Rebozzo's old digs in Boca Raton FL. Like they say, once CIA, always CIA.

10. Does he has health insurance
Edited on Thu Apr-03-08 11:51 AM by AlphaCentauri
he was dying of kidney decease and was on dialysis long ago.

The bin Laden mystery deepened on Jan. 18 when President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan told CNN that the terrorist leader, who had looked gaunt and haggard in his last video, broadcast on Dec. 26, was probably dead of kidney failure. "I give the highest priority now, to be frank, that he is dead for the reason that he is a patient, he is a kidney patient," General Musharraf said. He buttressed his account by saying that two kidney dialysis machines had been sent into Afghanistan before the war, at least one for bin Laden.

American and British officials quickly tried to rebut the Pakistani president's account. A British Foreign Office official told The Sunday Times on Jan. 20 that there were "strong indications" that bin Laden remained alive and "did not die in a cave from kidney failure." And a senior U.S. intelligence official told Rowan Scarborough of The Washington Times: "I believe it's a ruse. I don't think he's dead."

But the bin Laden kidney story has legs, so to speak. The first published reference to his kidney problems was an intriguing February 1999 article in The Guardian, in London, which quoted a former CIA counterterrorist operations official, Vincent Cannistraro: "The Saudis hired someone among his followers to poison him, probably in November 1998. He suffered kidney failure but recovered, at least partially." A week later, on Feb. 15, 1999, the Saudi-owned newspaper Al Hayat reported that bin Laden was suffering kidney pain.

The kidney story continued to make odd reappearances. Last October, the French daily Le Figaro reported that bin Laden had received secret kidney treatment on July 4, 2001, at an American hospital in Dubai, where he was allegedly visited by a CIA officer. An agency spokesman dismissed that as "complete nonsense." Even bin Laden himself was quoted in a Pakistani newspaper last November saying, "My kidneys are all right."

11. Before her assassination, Benazir Bhutto identified Omar Sheikh as the murderer of Osama bin Laden.

We need only look at *who benefits* in perpetuating the lie that Bin Laden is 'alive and well.'


The answer is, not surprisingly, a four-letter word.

Osama. "Look ya'll what I did!"

20. No, because the terror propaganda spigot would dry up.
'4-letter' needs continuous puppetry to accompany those frequent and convenient little videos when things get rough for him.


Besides, we weren't too impressed with the Saddam debacle.

12. Good thing we can believe everything that Zawahiri says.
He's so honest, that international terrorist, that he would never lie in order to keep an agenda going.

So if he says something that scares us, we should all be very, very afraid.



(Now re-read the above, substituting *ush for Zawahiri ...)

24. Ahhh...here we go with the truncation of Osama Bin Laden to confuse it with Obama.
Nice touch from the PsyOPs people. Yet another way to conflate Osama Bin Laden with Barack Obama to confuse the stupid Americans.

25. I don't know...it seems when these tapes surface, the CIA could somehow...
...use the intelligence gleaned from such surfacings to locate OBL and tap his lines. But I suppose it's too busy tapping American phone lines to follow-through with any intel regarding OBL.

32. Well and healthy and too cheap to afford video equipment...
available at Walgreen's for less than $50.

I agree that he's probably well and healthy, if by "well and healthy" we mean "dead".
