This guy says Osama is doing well health wise, not like we've been lead to believe.

And said that we blew our chance to get him BEFORE 9-11, and that he is definitely planning another attack on us.

And he said that as his former bodyguard, he was the one specifically assigned to kill Osama if his capture seemed imminent.

1. and just what are the chances he would be or could be telling the truth?

Not very high in either event...

6. I'd believe him as much as I'd believe CBS.........n/t

2. It's so nice to hear his health is good. I was so worried about him.

:sarcasm:

Odd, isn't it? Chimpy can't seem to make up his mind if we are actually after bin Laden or not. Yet, Bushco claims we are winning this bogus "war on terrorism." Meanwhile, Osama sends word that he is alive and doing well and even sends his regards, or should I say disregards to Americans? This gives us all the ammo we need to win this November. If we start asking one question and repeat that question over and over and over again between now and election time, we can make some headway and actually do something about some real security. That question is: Do you feel safer now than you did 6 years ago?

5. F.B.I. says Osama not involved in 9-11, C.I.A. closed search for him.

We do know that this is true.

"6 years later, Osama is free, do you feel safer"? should be our slogan.

3. A rerun I'm afraid

This piece was aired last 4/2, before Lebanon, Mumbai bombing, Zarqawi killing, etc.

Not that the story's made up, but it ain't new....

7. Osama's Bodyguard also said something else..............

....that we need to keep in mind. Osama's Bodyguard doesn't work for "....al Qaeda any more, at least not with a gun,....". Meaning, of course, that Abu Jandal is still very loyal to Bin Laden and al Qaeda and will say whatever it takes to cast himself and Bin Laden in the best light.

I didn't believe the dialysis thing when I first head it and still don't. Keep in mind that the Bush family and Bin Laden family have known each other and been in each other's homes a few times. So, that being a fact, don't ya think idiot boy and his family would know if Bin Laden needed dialysis?? Funny that idiot boy nor his dad or even Cheney has ever said a word about Bin Laden's alleged medical issues.

8. You know... I am now on the fence about him being alive. He MIGHT be...

here's why.

Ever since December 23, 2001 when I saw an article and obituary myself, online from (if I recall correctly) the Times of India declaring his death and funeral, I have firmly believed OBL was dead. I believed firmly he had died of the stated complications from his kidney disease, etc. I have VERY firmly defended this position until about 2 months ago.

So here's the thing. I've chatted online in political chat rooms for over 10 years now... first AOL, then Excite, now in Yahoo. I'm a room regular, no doubt.

About 2 months ago I became engaged in a conversation with a woman now living in london. She was sharing a story, not very willingly, about her escape from her arranged marriage in Pakistan. Over our conversation we discussed OBL... and I went with the usual "he's dead..." etc. She wasn't willing to tell the details and started out just politely insisting I was wrong. Her story came around to telling me that her husband's family had hosted and hidden OBL in 2004 in their home in Quetta. She was NOT willing to share any details, and getting this information from her required some skill and a lot of delicate questions. I was impressed by this young woman and in our conversation. It's not hard to suss out a liar online. Liars are in fact very bad at lying. Tales are too far fetched and lacking in details, and there are some specific professional methods of determining if someone is lying and this gal passed all the 'tests'.

This woman's story and our dialogue had a ring enough of truth that I now doubt my original position and I honestly could be convinced that the dude is still alive.

You had to be there, to have the dialogue, to speak with this well educated woman. While the truth isn't always what we want it to be, it's pretty easy to spot a liar. I am inclined to believe this woman and I *am* the ultimate, bitter, suspect, doubting cynic.

Here's the thing. OBL didn't plan and perp 911. He knew about it, and he may know of a 2nd attack, but he's not guilty of the first one.

9. I knew it! It was Clenis' fault!!!

"we blew our chance to get him BEFORE 9-11"

Can we "re-impeach" the Clenis? :sarcasm:
