bin Laden is reported to have died of typhoid fever about a month ago. Report of the death remains unverified.

Also, France is conducting an investigation into who leaked the intel report. Hmmmmm, despite our differences with France, it looks like we have at least one thing in common.

Article is here.
 
If true it would be sweet, but 'single-source' intelligence information is highly suspect unless corroborated by other independent sources.

That we both enjoy a good probing?

If it's corroborated, wouldn't that mean it's not "single-source" anymore? :2razz: Maybe this was supposed to be the October surprise Karl Rove was threatening about, but France spilled the beans! :rofl
 
Could this be the prophecized "October Surprise?"
 
This would be quite the october surprise. But then it may still be sad in that seemingly we'd still not know where he is.
 
Half of America does not even consider that whatever the October surprise is, it is known now, and being held until October for political manipulation.

That SHOULD anger them being played like that.

It is my bet that Rove will manipulate it to make it look like Bush was responsible for bin Laden's death.

Rove: "Yes, we abandoned bin Laden to invade Iraq, and bin Laden died of lonliness. It was our plan all along".

Unfortunately, more than half of America is ignorant.

Wrong.
"We didn't pay much attention to OBL because we already knew he was dead, thus our focus on the remaining forces that are in Iraq."

I meant my post to be humorous, but I guess I am not a funny guy. :)

This sounds like one of those bull **** left wing moron conspiracy theories.Basicly the conspiracy is that they have already capture Osama Bin Laden but are waiting until near the elections to Boost the GOP's rep.

I dont know. You should ask France and Rove.

Unless and until this report is corroborated by other independent sources (known as a 'convergence of evidence') it remains a 'single-source' generator of information and highly suspect.

Yes, the half that doesn't believe the Dems have also participated and will continue to participate in this charade of "globalism", facillitating the central banking industrial collectivist in their conquest of global resources and monetary control.

Carl Rove and Bush are the enemy. How quaint.

Half think that uberrich dems like Kerry really care about the poor beyond their votes too.

If OBL is still alive will France surrender to him again?:mrgreen:

Where did globalism or the democratic party come into play on this topic?
Secondly it's Karl Rove, not Carl. Yes, Bush and Rove are morons, what's your point?
Lastly, seems this story is true now, more and more sources are confirming this "October surprise".
 
To those who think this is the "October Surprise" - this would probably be the worst way for Bin Laden to die. If he dies because of natural causes, it just makes Bush look inept. If this was really a big conspiracy, they would catch him/kill him.

Of course, that being said, apparently the report has no basis in fact, so the point is moot.

What are you talking about?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia said on Sunday it had no evidence that Osama bin Laden had died, shedding further doubt on a secret document leaked in France that said Saudi secret services believed he had died last month.

France and the United States said on Saturday they could not confirm the report in French regional daily L'Est Republicain which quoted France's DGSE foreign intelligence service as saying the Saudi secret services were convinced the al Qaeda leader had died of typhoid in Pakistan in late August.
SPECULATION about the death of Osama bin Laden continued to swirl across the globe last night, but in the three capitals most likely to be the first to know if and when he dies - Riyadh, Islamabad and Washington - there were blanket denials of any knowledge of French reports that the al-Qaeida leader had succumbed to typhoid last month.

Significantly, in view of claims that it was Saudi intelligence that was said to be the original source for the report, an official statement issued by the Government in Riyadh said: "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has no evidence to support recent media reports that Osama bin Laden is dead.

"Information that has been reported otherwise is purely speculative and cannot be independently verified."

Internet monitors who track terrorist chatter also said they had come across nothing to support the reports. The Washington-based IntelCentre, which monitors terrorism communications, was quoted as saying it was not aware of any similar reports on the internet.

1) Bush, Rove , world conquest , yada yada yada.
October surprise, maintain power, world conquest, yada yada yada.
Dems are our saviors, not globalist conquering scum like Bush and Rove, yada yada yada. Give it a rest. Your boys' policies will be the same.
Are you setting the stage for failure ? Will you have the Bush and Rove lied to the people excuse ready in your back pocket if the dems don't come through? You can always fall back on the bush stole the 2000 election crap. Always good for laughs.
You should be in love with bush. He has done more to help the collectivists down at te UN than almost any recent president. I don't understand your anger.

2) who gives a rat's asz, and who would bother to point that
out ?

Can you make any argument without partisan rhetoric?

Seeing as you are the one that made the argument, you do.

And dont forget that many things Bush is getting away with is only because Clinton opened the door for him.

sorry I don't subscribe to reuters or Australian news. what's your point? oh right, you just need to argue with me over everything. Pathetic.

Google news has 1,282 stories on it. I'm sure one of them can fit the bill for you.

what's your point? oh right, you just need to argue with me over everything.

When you post outright lies, sure.

Lastly, seems this story is true now, more and more sources are confirming this "October surprise".

I'd love to see these sources.

Pathetic.

I dunno, I would consider claiming truth in regards to something that was completely and demonstrably false to be slightly more pathetic than posting links to relevant news articles. But that's just me.
