The French are reporting that Osama Bin Laden may be dead:
The French defense ministry on Saturday called for an internal investigation of the leak of an intelligence document that raises the possibility that Osama bin Laden may have died of typhoid in Pakistan a month ago but said the report of the death remained unverified.
“The information defused this morning by the l’Est Republicain newspaper concerning the possible death of Osama bin Laden cannot be confirmed,” a Defense Ministry statement said.
The daily newspaper for the Lorraine region in eastern France printed what it described as a confidential document from the French foreign intelligence service DGSE citing an uncorroborated report from Saudi secret services that the leader of the al-Qaida terror network had died.
So, he may or may not be dead. I question the timing. However, if he is, it begs the question, how do the Saudi's know?
But, the Dummocrats are not impressed (wrote this in the morning, I'm sure the thread has gotten even better)

* Wheres the body. n/t
-
* on ice, that's where. waiting for October…
-
* Does this mean the War On Terror is over?! Yeah! We win! Everyone come on home now. (yup, they sure get the WoT, eh?)
-
* Is this going to be the October Surprise?
-
* I think it would have…until this pesky lil' paper in France breaks the story and takes all of the wind out of Rove's sails…another reason why I'm so jubilant right now!! WHEW WHO!!! but who knows…they might try to spin this..like ahhh….we don't need clean water…see, dirty water kills terrawrists!!

* BWAHHAAHA! This is great, that'll teach KKKarl & Co. to denegate "fries & toast." OBL's on ice somewhere, just waiting to pop out of his box in October.
-
* lol — this — to me — is funny if true. amazing — the u.s. for all of it's billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of pounds of bombs couldn't do what typhoid did{if true}. (such a casual dismissal of the US military. But don't say they don't support the military!)
Notice something missing? Not one word about "if he is dead, great." OBL's use to the left is simply as political fodder. Half of them do not even believe he was behind 9/11.

* October Surprise BUSTED????? Sorry Karl! By: Maryrose
-
* How convenient! Is this the October surprise? Would it be crazy to think the October surprise would be a good thing, like Bush would suddenly declare Afghanistan and Iraq "finished" as far as US invasion, and phase our military quickly out??? No, Mr. Bush is the WAR PRESIDENT. By: confused

* "October Surprise BUSTED????? Sorry Karl! By: Maryrose" My first thought exactly. October surprise pre-empted by France. LOL By: springsm

* This must be Turd Blossom's October surprize. Too bad the French let the cat out of the bag a week early. I wonder will GW claim personal responsibility in his death as if he killed him in one on one combat with sticks and stones? I wonder how the Reight wing will spin this. Of course we can't forget about the drooling koolaid drinkers that will credit the rethugs and re-elect them all. I think I'm going to move to an island somewhere I'm sick of this crap.

* October Surprise, anyone? This will not change the fact dumbya cut and ran from the War on Terror for a war about revenge and oil.
That was just page 1 of the comments. Let's go to the best one, though
- * Sure he is dead. Bin Laden was the sock puppet of CIA whose stooge is the ISI. He had nothing to do with 9/11. Go the fbi.gov. Look for yourself. Where is there any mention that he is wanted for 9/11?
The government conspiracy theory is full of holes. Only an idiot would accept the official conspiracy narrative that Bin Laden was the mastermind behind 9/11. Where is the evidence? There is none.
If you want to look for who is behind 9/11 look into Pakistan's ISI and who really runs it. It is a CIA creation. Through the ISI, the CIA created the terrorists as a means of controlling Central Asian countries who possess huge reserves of gas & oil.
Now lets hope Bush dies. By: Ardie
I'm sorry to say that I can actually believe that came from someone on the Left. You can see a screenshot of it here (it's big)
