Damn those French! They reported Bin Laden's Death before October!
But never fear! American Media is doing its best to deny all plausibility.

There's still hope that Jessica Lynch will kill him in Virginia!

1. I wonder where he is?
Or rather, where his remains can be found.
It would be the panty raid of all time.
And since they cant admit they have him, you can collect the bounty!

6. They've been keeping him on ice somewhere.
I suspect he's been dead for some time, of natural causes probably, and they've just been hanging onto the corpse so they can trot it out at a politically opportune time. Of course, they could just be doing it so that they can play the Osama card whenever things get bad: jumping out with some old video message and screaming "Boo!" in the hopes of herding the sheep in the direction they want.

:tinfoilhat:

:P

3. I have been trying to figure out how this will affect the polls....
1. It could help dumbya because ding-dong, the witch is dead. OR....
2. The evil-doer died on his own without dumbya's "help."

Any speculation?

4. While bin Laden dead is excellent news, I'm not convinced.
The deader he is the better. But this is like the third time he's died. Even Superman came back from death only twice.

7. "peacefully in his sleep". . . .
If this is how he went out (if he IS gone). .. He will have never been brought to justice.

8. Wait, wait, wait
The Saudis now say their intelligence people heard that he is not quite dead but is very ill from some water-borne disease.

Torture is now off the headlines - we'll be watching Osama die and eliminate that particular Rethug problem. Sorry Dems, Bushco has removed your Osama talking point. Fugg, fugg, fugg! What will El Diablo and his gang not spin.

10. If he is dead, how is that we would be in possession of his
Edited on Sat Sep-23-06 09:21 AM by Texas Explorer
remains? Isn't it customary for Muslims to bury their dead within 24 hours of death? And, wouldn't this requirement prevent the possession of the remains by anyone?

Edited to correct punctuation.
