Looks like Osama is fixin' to die soon
The Asia Times has a new story out that seems to pave the way for Osama to be found dead just in time for the Nov. Election.

Good ol' Osama, always ready to give BushCo a boost in the polls just when they'll need it the most.


Inside the anti-US resistance
By Syed Saleem Shahzad
July 8, 2006

Osama Bin Laden is ill and invisible, but five years after September 11, 2001, his al-Qaeda movement has become the fulcrum of a global, Islamic resistance against the United States.

Asia Times Online has learned from an operative close to the al-Qaeda leadership that bin Laden languishes on a dialysis machine, in rapidly declining health.

"Sheikh was in a poor condition when my father last visited," said the operative, who uses the name "Abdullah". Abdullah's father, known as Sheikh Ibrahim, is number two after Tahir Yuldeshev in the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IUM), a group closely allied with al-Qaeda and the Taliban, and operating in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Pakistan.

Sheikh Ibrahim's meeting with bin Laden took place "a few weeks ago", Abdullah told Asia Times Online in an interview at the end of June in a northern Pakistani city. Abdullah had traveled there from North Waziristan, a Pakistani tribal agency on the Afghanistan border, to meet this correspondent.

"He asked all of us to pray for his health. For the past many months he has been on dialysis and just cannot move. My father never told me where he was when he met Osama ... but he was worried about his fast-waning health."

3. Coincidence..or not?
Your subject line...

Yesteerday, someone mentioned Country Joe McDonald... "Ain't Fixin' To Die Rag" from Woodstock. I think he was playing somewhere.

I do believe that you are correct in your surmise...

6. Does any one think we will find his body?
If they really brought the second in charge head in a box to the USA I am sure ben Laden will be sure his body is just gone. I love a war when taking heads are in vogue. Maybe they can go up on Bush's wall next to the guns they bring back to him. My God we all should be living in caves.

7. Ossie is still dying
I'm sure he is hoping to take the kennyboy route.
Is this the fat Osama or the real Osama?
This will then exonerate him as it did for Kenny.
:woohoo:

9. Is it possible to be on dialysis for 6 years?
This rumor has been going on for that long.......and I am quite sure you can't be on dialysis for that number of years. Your body can't handle it.

10. PNAC must be meeting regularly to invent another household name,
Edited on Sun Jul-09-06 08:33 AM by higher class
In this non-war on Iraq which is called war to establish a cover for stealing oil, protecting Israel, and trying to keep the dollar in the game ... they need multitudes of Madison Ave type propaganda tactics.

In a non-war with no generals, commandants, uniforms, air forces, it must be really difficult to sustain the illusion and justify all the deaths.

Hard, it must be hard work. I can hear George sighing from the hardness.

11. How did they get electricity to that cave in Tora Bora? We need to
track down the medical supply company he gets his machines from because I'm sure hauling them around like he does has to be hard on 'em.

13. I think that's why the CIA dismantled the task force.
They know he's dead. Now they are seeding the story that he's on his last legs. Yeah, timing is right for this to drop just before the mid-terms. Another criminal who won't be brought to justice.

14. The Asia Times
is a major source for the Osama myth.

Watch this crap start popping up in the M$M in the next week or two.
