He died in Pakistan?
Of typhoïd?
And French President Chirac knew that two days ago?
Hot damn.
I so had wished that Bin Laden would die in a cell at a very ripe old age.
I hope typhoïd hurts.
Got a better link?
Hopefully?
An English language version. I’ll wait for more information.
If its not on Google News, it didn’t happen.
Thanks for the English.
Yeah, nothing on CNN’s wire yet.
What?!?!?
There have been such rumours before, so I’ll want a bit more confirmation before I start doing the happy dance.
As for an “in a cell” death - I still preferred a “wearing women’s underwear and compromised with a sheep” death.
He’s been reported dead and then turned up alive again so many times he should have his own slasher film franchise. I’m thinking a steel cage match between Osama, Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers, Leatherface, and a few Critters. Hell, I’d buy tickets.
So, is the War on Terrorism over now?
Here’s another link.
Doubtful, has the War On Anything ever ended?
If thats what you think, the terrorists have won!
Who will think of the children?
Sigh, yes, the war on the Carthagenians (sp?), Tasmanians; hell, even on the Germans and Japanese. You think radical Islamists are tougher than the Nazis? Fool.
The difference here is that the War on Terror, is unlike any other war. This one is cyclic and will be around for a while. Just like the War on Drugs.
They will always nab Zarqawi’s number two guy, and 6 months later, they will nab his number two guy again. Just like they will always nab a Mexican drug lord, and another is willing to take his place. And he too someday will get nabbed.
If true, imagine the power struggle. 876 number two guys all trying to take the number one slot.
If it’s true, I can’t think of a more deserving person.
CNN Headline news has stated that other news agencys cant confirm the death, and CNN is not saying anything directly.
Yeah, sure: Explosion kills at least 32 in Baghdad
As for the rabid, frothing anti-Muslim, Gum, I suggest she doesn’t put on her dancing shoes just yet.
Pakistani officials doubt Osama death report
Besides, dead or alive, thanks to Bush, Osama’s radical AQ movement is stronger/ more popular than ever than ever, with no real central control and extending practically all over the ME as well as parts of Europe. His death means about as much as the capture of Saddam or the killing of Zarquawi in terms of abating the Iraq clusterfuck and/or the threat of retaliation.
Well, if true, this pretty much means he wins, doesn’t it? Evading the US for this long and dying a natural death was pretty much his “best case sceneario”. Yeah, dead is dead, but the man evaded justice.
And god knows the world isn’t any safer from his ilk.
Goddamit, this story isn’t supposed to come out til October!
How can it be an October surprise if it’s not October?
That said, there’s been somefunny goings on with U.S. helicopters in Pakistan recently. Maybe they’ve gone to collect bin Laden’s head for plating.
This reminds me of a B. Kliban cartoon: John the Baptist and a side of fries.
