    I wonder how we (the US) will be able to claim victory on that? If it's true, maybe we can all stop arguing about where he was and start focusing on where we are as a people.

    If true, rest assured that Osama had an exceptionally painful death. Typhoid is nasty stuff.

    He should have stayed with the CIA...much better heatlhcare package.

    Great news if true. I doubt it will make any difference, but we can all celebrate the death of one of the greatest ass holes there ever was. Better to die this way, then to be martyred by our guns.

    I totally agree with you.

    It would be wonderful news, but somehow I have a bit of a hard time trusting the French and the Saudi's on this one, you know?

    Thanks for the link! I will be following this story as we learn more :)

    The U.S. and Pakistan repeatedly let Osama escape. This story, regardless of print would have originated from Pakistan.

    They all want us to forget about Bin Laden.

    the death of bin laden is meaningless as al quida work as independent cells, not as a top down military organisation.... much like the tactics hezbullah used against israel.

    look at al queida in iraq... the leader is killed and another takes his place. rather than going after terrorists maybe we should be addressing the issues which cause these people to radicalize.

    If its true.. I expect Bush and his team are already planing on creating another. Bush and Osama made a great team... big shoes to fill.
  • even if he was, there's already someone replacing him, and nothing will change because his death.

    See, even if GWB was shot dead tomorrow (which is not something I desire, I never wished death upon anyone) the world (and specifically Iraq and the Middle East) wouldn't be a safer place.

  • well, if he's not dead.............. I think we should put him in an isolated room with only Disney movies to watch (animated and ones like Mary Poppins and such). This could be looked at in several ways. (1) From the naive standpoint, the films' cheery influences just may rub off on him and serve as rehabilitation. :) (2) Isolation with these films for a loooong period of time (or eternity) can also serve as proper punishment/torture for an evil man such as Laden. (3) well, I really can't think of anything else right now, but if anyone else has something to add please feel free. At any rate, I feel that the Disney life sentence just might work. :D any votes for yay?

    hmmm.. excellent Idea. Fantasia for life.. we feed him well - give him a comfortable bed and a private toilet - and a big screen television with the Fantasia loop at a reasonably high volume... 24 hours a day.. and perhaps once a year we ask his opinion on things...

    Viewing Fantasia for 30 minutes would make be want to slash my wrists:D

    Nope, but the US news media is.

    sounds like a plan. --- except for the feeding him well, comfortable bed, and all the luxuries. His evil ass is just getting a slab of carpet, some of that army slosh food, a jar for his bodily fluids, and well, you get the idea. :D

    Fantasia's not so bad, c'mon. Some of that artwork is sooo beautiful.

    I owe you a pint!

    Friends, this is the truth...the only truth in this entire charade, really. The United States will simply create another enemy on which to float the American economy. If not Iran, possibly Syria or Pakistan.

    I'd like to see an analysis of where the American economy would be right now without the insane Monopoly-money spending that Bush has demanded for this "war on terror", which is shaping up to be the "war on the American middle class" since we're the ones footing the bill.

    It's not often I make a video address but when I do, I'm trying to scare the most powerful country on earth, okay? That means that while we're taping, please do not ride your razor scooter in the background. Just while we're taping. Thanks.

    Next, and this is a touchy one. As you know, by edict, we're not supposed to shave our beards. But I need everyone to just think hygiene, especially after mealtime. We're all in this together.

    Also: food. I bought a box of Cheez-Its recently, clearly wrote "Osama" on the front, and put it on the top shelf. Today, my Cheez-Its were gone. Consideration. That's all I'm saying.

    Finally, we've heard that there may be American soldiers in disguise trying to infiltrate our ranks. I want to set up patrols to look for them. First patrol will be Omar, Muhammed, Abdul, Scott, and Joey.

    Love you lots,
    Osama
