A French paper is reporting that Osama Bin Laden died last month in Pakistan. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060923/pl_nm/...nladen_usa_dc_2 The culprit seems to be Typhoid but I doubt it since the intel guys say there's not a lot of chatter on the air concerning this. Maybe that's why the Pakies sign the treaty with the Taliban in that region? Wildkow
Seems mighty unlikely. I think the word would spread pretty quickly and AlQuaida is bright enough to control the press on this as they announce the cause (to be sure everyone knows it was not the US forces that got him), and to announce the change of command, etc. Due to the Muslim culture the body needs to be buried within 24 hours it seems likely that that would have triggered a more reliable information leak even if his 'people' had been trying to keep it quiet. But, I hope we find it's true and the reason word hasn't gotten out in a coordinated fashion is b/c of conflict within the organization for the leadership and such...that would be an ideal outcome. Oh, and.... Welcome back Kow....

[attachmentid=5135] Did a Cali Road trip up North and then down South along the coast. [attachmentid=5136] p.s. BTW I think that if he is dead the USA did kind of get him by forcing him into living in those cold damp caves. Can't be very good for the health seeing as how his was already compromised.

Though I suspect he's got some pretty cozy accomodations in Pakistan and some secluded villages in Afganistan where he has friends that protect him.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(efusco @ Sep 23 2006, 12:23 PM) [snapback]323979[/snapback]</div> ?!? :huh: Although the sentiment is nice I pretty much schedule how long I want my vacations, no assistance necessary so don't trouble yourself. May all his friends and protectors legs grow together into one giant noodlely appendage. :lol: Wildkow
