Osama bin Laden has died more times than any human being in history. In fact, he died right around this same time in 2002, a few weeks before the 2002 midterm elections. From The World Tribune - 10/16/02:


How many times has the Administration or its close allies planted stories in the media indicating or strongly implying that bin Laden is dead, only for the stories to be proven entirely false? Let us count:

The Israeli sources said Israel and the United States assess that Bin Laden probably died in the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan in December. They said the emergence of new messages by Bin Laden are probably fabrications, Middle East Newsline reported.

1. I hate to burst your bubble, but hasn't Al-Queda's #2 died a few

more times than Osama?

Correct me if I am wrong.

2. If I recall......

The last count was something like 39 times for #2.....yep, #2 definitely wins!

3. They'll prop him up and kill him again in late October

Or they'll claim Ollie North flew in undercover and poisoned his water, but I do believe he's either dead or incapacitated.

His health wasn't good to begin with, and he wasn't living in the best of conditions.

Leave it to BushCo™ to defeat him using the technology of "old age".
