Osama bin Laden died within days of contracting typhoid fever in Pakistan last month, according to unnamed Saudi police sources quoted today in the French daily L'Est Republicain.

"According to a commonly reliable source, the Saudi police believe that Osama Bin Laden has died," said a Sept. 21 confidential note transmitted by the Directorate-General of External Services.

According to the note to be published by the L'Est Republicain, the Saudi police "would try to obtain more details, in particular the location of the burial site, and then announce the news officially." The DGSE specified in the note that no "jihadist Internet site has for the moment been made aware of the death of Osama bin Laden."

According to the note, "the head of al-Qaida may have fallen victim to a strong case of typhoid fever while in Pakistan, on August 23, 2006," and may have died within a matter of days.

I won't believe it just yet, as there have been claims of his death before.

Anyway, his death still changes nothing, the wars have been started and the Osama excuse has been at the back for so long, it no longer means anything.

Anybody else thinks he is dead this time round?

Ding Dong the witch is dead.

Hahahahahahaha, we spent billions trying to kill him and he craps his pants to death. That's great.

Isn't it the same way Zarqawi died? Crapping his pants? :rofl:

Although France is now saying that no one should class him as dead until THEY confirm it.:rolleyes:

Although France is now saying that no one should class him as dead until THEY confirm it.:rolleyes:Isn't that because the news report is supposedly based on a supposed French intelligence leak, and Chirac is saying "This is news to me! Let's confirm we actually had this intilligence to leak before jumping to conclusions!" ?

I don't love France overmuch, but that seems cool by me.

Ah ok, I see now.

I just looked again at the news clippings about this, and now even Pakistan and the US are saying the same thing.

Seems I was a bit trigger happy on this story.<_<

Who's to know? He might be dead - might have been dead for years; he might be alive - might live for years. Since having him alive is better for the hawks, even if he is dead, he'll remain "alive" and a "threat." Osama bin Laden is the best Islamic boogie-man to come along since Saladin. What worries me more is that the US Congress is getting ready to pass a law that will allow the presidential swine, the Pig-in-Chief, to "interpret the Geneva Conventions" for the United States, stripping international and even American judicial oversight from the process. Another goodie that our increasingly totalitarian regime is about to get: the right to arrest anybody and hold him/her forever w/o charges and w/o a lawyer - just on Dubya's say-so. That's more dangerous than 1000 Osama's could ever be. Goodbye, habeas corpus!

I know, thats better than what I said though.

The Osama threat stopped meaning what it did ages ago, now it's just war and might, regardless.

[Heleuiski]

Osama live or dead will be a figurehead and hero to all the nutters out there.

*shudder*

Freedoms are being degraded. We are going to be kept on a tight leash, and if we say one thing against the current regime we will be deemed as being a "terrorist".

Just you wait.

[Rooster]

Gah!!! No, he can't be dead. We need him as an excuse to go to war in Iran! This is horrible news! Scapegoats are hard to come by and international ones like Osama are trully rare. I guess we need another crisis or attack to blame on some dumbass Islamic extremist.

Holy shit... WHy dear lord why and how did you elect him AGAIN!!!

Holy shit... WHy dear lord why and how did you elect him AGAIN!!!

Bush was never elected! Not in 2000, not in 2004. Both times, the elections were rigged and stolen, in Florida in 2000, in Ohio in 2004.

The unbelievable arrogance of this administration leads me to conclude that they know something that we don't know - Bush is supposedly a lame-duck president, yet the Congress, etc are all acting as though he were a first-termer w/high prospects of serving 2 terms. A lame-duck president usually gets much less deference and much more static - not this fuck. I'm 1/2 expecting a nice surprise right before the next presidential election, either "In this time of emergency, I simply cannot step down and am, therefore, canceling the election" or a Roosevelt-style third term or a hand-off to Jeb Bush, a virtual appointment. I'm expecting "terrorism" and "war" to be at a fever-pitch right in time for the election.
