Bin Laden died last April?

1/17/2006 3:30:00 PM GMT

Just six days after the September 11 attacks, the U.S. PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH was unequivocal about BIN LADEN, suggesting that America wants him dead or alive. But the AMERICAN PRESIDENT's vow remains unfulfilled, and no one seems to know what happened to the world's most wanted man.

"He may be alive," BUSH was quoted as saying the summer following the attacks. "If he is, we'll get him. If he's not alive, we got him." OSAMA BIN LADEN is possibly dead, or at least seriously incapacitated, a Canberra-based expert as recently suggested.

The terrorism expert says that he has seen evidence showing AL QAEDA leader Osama bin Laden, who is accused of plotting the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon building in the U.S. - had died in Pakistan last April.- He also said that if he’s not dead he could be seriously ill.

Morning Herald quoted Dr. Clive Williams, director of terrorism studies at the Australian National University, as saying that documents received from an Indian intelligence officer, whom he would not identify, suggested that AL QAEDA chief died of massive organ failure in April last year. "It does seem reasonably convincing based on the evidence that I've been provided with that he's certainly either severely incapacitated or dead at this stage," Dr. Williams said. However, Dr. Williams said proving whether BIN LADEN was dead or still alive might be impossible.

1. Osama bin Goldstein will never die

[Sydnie]

2. "If he is, we'll get him. If he's not alive, we got him."

unbelievable .... he has his finger on the button too.

[rurallib]

3. Bin Laden too valuable to Bush to ever say he (Bin Laden) is

dead. He's the boogey man that personifies fear. He is always there when Bush needs to buck up them polls or divert attention.
Bin Laden better hope he stays the main boogey man. The day he isn't he's gone.

14. Who else could Bush pull out of a hat when his polls tank.

[blm]

4. Wasn't this site uncovered as a RW front to plant disinfo?

And to discredit the real Al Jazeera as a news source?

[shance]

6. I remember it being the news center Bush Administ. wanted to blow up.

or was rumored to have looked into such a venture.

[blm]

8. That's Al Jazeera NEWS - aljazeera.com is a RW site based in Texas, iirc.

.

12. I think that was Al Jazeerah. info (note the extra h)

Al-Jazeerah, P.O. Box 724, Dalton, GA 30722-0724, USA.

That site is total crap.

[blm]

13. pretty sure the .com is a Texas front group, though.

It was examined here at DU during the election.

5. Schroedinger's Terrorist

When will the wave function collapse?

7. The latest tape made a reference

to December article written in a British paper according to what I heard on the radio today (NPR).

9. He's the gift that keeps on giving.

He'll be sending audio tapes during election years long after I'm dead and gone.

10. It is not worth bothering with anything said about a bin Laden - all we've

heard all our lives about the bin Ladens has now become a lie because of the genuine lines - all of them. From - is he dead, is he a CIA operative - to - did we or did we not chauffeur his relatives out of the country and make all air traffic stand down until their little white aircraft flights had gone? Was he or was he not chauffeured out of Tora Bora by our military? Was he a friend of Saudi Arabia royalty or not? Did he really wear cashmere all the time or not? Did you even believe Bandar when he spoke of the bin Ladens?

He may still be alive and living in a town or village equal in size to Crawford somewhere on this earth or another, but it doesn't really matter because everything said about him no longer has any credibility.

[xultar]

11. That is how the CIA confirmed the tape so quickly.
