Default Osama Bin Laden - CONFIRMED DEAD!

As the title suggests, Osama Bin Laden is dead.

My parents have Indian sattelite tv (lol) and they are reporting it as breaking news. Infact looking at Fox now, they too are mentioning it.

BBC/ABC/CNN still have nothing on their channels..


About time an EVIL "cellebrity" died.

Pakistan says no info passed to back Bin Laden death report
(Reuters)

23 September 2006



ISLAMABAD - Pakistan has received no information from any foreign government that would corroborate a French newspaper report on Saturday that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden died of typhoid in Pakistan, a senior government official said.


“No government has shared any such information with us so far, which is the normal thing to do under such circumstances,” the official, who has close knowledge of intelligence matters, told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

The daily L’Est Republicain reported that, according to a French secret service report, Saudi Arabia was convinced that bin Laden died of typhoid in Pakistan in late August.

Yeah the more I see it the more it appears to be speculation and a hint of B/S.

Maybe one of the mods should delete this thread, but this freaking channel is still adamant he is dead.

Well I'd like to think so. If it is true, too bad he died before Uncle Sam got his hands on him. But none the less dead is good, again if it's true.

I care. If this is confirmed I will feel just a little bit better about the world. Be wary of this message "Osama Bin Laden" dead in emails, apparently virus attached.

Find his corpse, get a 44gallon drum of pigs blood, and bury him with it.
Film it and show it the World.

I wish I shared your optimism Redrum. But something like that occuring really doesnt make me feel better about the world in the slightest. Do you honestly believe it will have an impact?

To all those who are saying "Another one will take his place" you have to remember that this having any affect relys on said "another one" having the funds that Osama had/has.

He is/was (don't know what it is yet) a very wealthy person. Sure terrorists might have big plans of blowing things up but if they have no money to do it they can't. All things cost money even your own death.

Best quote I've ever heard about money is 'you cant take it with you'.

He HAD money. He was also very passionate for his cause. I'd bet that his funds live on.

Besides. Terror cells are funded by lots of different avenues.

Has anyone ever considered that Bush used Bin Laden as a scapegoat. I think Bush is pure evil.

People all over the world donate to these terrorists, and it dosnt cost much to cut someones head off with a machette. And with the pigs blood, that dosnt count if they are dead first, they will still go to their version of heaven (apparently). If only General Pershing were still alive and in the same room as him, then id care.

Its always a Bush conspiracy. The planes that took out the towers werent even passenger planes they were military and the buildings didnt collapse because of the planes, they set off detonaters that were already in the buildings. Did anyone ever wonder why both buildings come down like a controlled demolition?

Please don't reserect this horse, it's been flogged to death so many times it wants to rest in peace to you know lol :

He can't be dead, lil georgie wouldn't allow it, his father said "you can only play cowboys and indians if their is injuns to fight, otherwise your friends won't wanna play anymore and they'll go home". He would have to find a new face of evil, and that takes too much time, money and event management is getting pretty expensive these days, lol, what with a worldwide stage.

Stick to the thread topic, we dont want it bogged down with politics or religion discussion.
Or it will end up down the drain......
