Gone but not forgotten - The bin Laden revival tour

Dead man walking, with assistance

By Michael Collins

So, we had bin Laden at Tora Bora. But he was sick and in need of dialisis. He got away. Who knows if the machines followed? And in January 2002, Musharraf, our cooperative ally at the time, said the guy is dead.

Obama needs bin Laden too!

“If we have Osama bin Laden in our sights and the Pakistani government is unable or unwilling to take them out, then I think that we have to act and we will take them out”. Candidate Obama, Oct 20, 2008

Obama masked his aggressive doctrine behind the face of bin Laden, who may well be dead, and, at the same time, by implication behind the horror of 911.

.....................

Will Obama play the part of political necromancer and roll away the stone for bin Laden's resurrection?

Stay tuned. There's more naked aggression around the corner.

P.S. But if bin Laden was dead in 2002, that means that this pre-2004 election video of the al Qaeda leader was likely a fake http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3966741.stm. We would have suspected that then if these reports from 2002 analysis by a highly respectable lab had been aired to any degree http://www.prisonplanet.com/bin_laden_tape_a_fake_swiss_lab_says.htm. But they weren't and the bin Laden threats provided the rationale for a stolen election http://www.iefd.org/articles/election_2004_urban_legend.php. Dead or alive, bin Laden is the gift that keeps giving for those who favor perpetual crisis and war in the oil rich Middle East and South Asia.

1. let's ee--the taliban offers to turn over obl--cheney refuses the offer.

"we have him in our sights" says american military--we need more troops. also refused.

and those tapes that surfaced oh-so-conveniently on such a regular basis--never believed them. whether obl is dead or alive, I do believe that bushco knows. (personally, I always thought he was hiding out on the bin laden property next to the pig farm)

2. Old man bin Laden just keeps rollin' along...

lift that barge and tote them bales. How disappointing that Obama wants to kill more GIs, slaughter more civilians, let the Pentagon test more cool toys, protect Karzai's poppy fields from Taliban interlopers. Osama BL is not dead, but he's in hot water. His penthouse in Dubai is about to be foreclosed, just as his tan was getting really good.

Oh well.
