Fox News: "Bin Laden Already Dead"

Wednesday, December 26, 2001

Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader.

"The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Usama alive or dead," the source said.

Bin Laden, according to the source, was suffering from a serious lung complication and succumbed to the disease in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief.

The Death of bin Ladenism
By AMIR TAHERI
Published: July 11, 2002

Osama bin Laden is dead. The news first came from sources in Afghanistan and Pakistan almost six months ago: the fugitive died in December and was buried in the mountains of southeast Afghanistan. Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf, echoed the information. The remnants of Osama's gang, however, have mostly stayed silent, either to keep Osama's ghost alive or because they have no means of communication.

With an ego the size of Mount Everest, Osama bin Laden would not have, could not have, remained silent for so long if he were still alive. He always liked to take credit even for things he had nothing to do with. Would he remain silent for nine months and not trumpet his own survival?

Even if he is still in the world, bin Ladenism has left for good. Mr. bin Laden was the public face of a brand of politics that committed suicide in New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001, killing thousands of innocent people in the process.

What were the key elements of that politics?

The first was a cynical misinterpretation of Islam that began decades ago with such anti-Western ideologues as Maulana Maudoodi of Pakistan and Sayyid Qutb of Egypt. Although Mr. Maudoodi and Mr. Qutb were not serious thinkers, they could at least offer a coherent ideology based on a narrow reading of Islamic texts. Their ideas about Western barbarism and Muslim revival, distilled down to bin Ladenism, became mere slogans designed to incite zealots to murder.

2. Wrong! He was spotted recently in fact. (More)


He was spotted closing a door at the Nevada caucus at just 11:30! A full 30 minutes too early!

Suspicious enough?

5. The 'binster' as he is affetionately known by the Bush Family Evil Empire (BFEE)
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 05:07 PM by SpiralHawk
actually is hiding out in the basement of a former Pig Farm in Crawford, Texas, and has been helping Commander AWOL Bush & allied homelander cronies devise occult plans for destroying the US Constitution, economy, and environment.

As a team, the binster and the deserter have been quite successful -- so successful that binster did, in fact, recently take time off to hook up and hang with Elvis in Vegas, as Bonobo's historic photograph irrefutably documents.

"They really needed a badass boogeyman to keep the American proles in a state of shock and awe. Of course I am willing to do anything to serve the occult Skull-&-Boner-Cabal inspired EVIL DOINGS of my beloved & elegantly corrupt republicon homelander cronies, especially the BFEE. Smirk. Commander AWOL's family and mine have special occult connections. Smirk."
