Osama may be dead.
May 1, 2011 at 10:51 pm
For the past few minutes, my mother has been waiting with bated breath for President Obama's new press conference, and the latest thing is that CNN has been heavily implying that Osama bin Laden is dead. What I ask now is what will the right-wingers think that it is possible that President Obama may have managed to do what his predecessor failed to do?

The real question is how long have we actually had his body and is this a political attempt to garner favor with the rest of the world as the US teeters on the brink of overwhelming debt and asking for more loans. We all know it's most assuredly not a precursor to a US pull out, so why announce it now, especially if it won't make a difference in the actual war efforts/operations?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Haven't people speculated that he's been dead for some time?

Al Queda must have hacked The New York Times website. Can't get the story about him to load.

Osama Bin Laden is Dead
May 1, 2011 at 11:32 pm
I've just heard the news that his body is in US custody.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42852700/ns/...tral_asia/

Liberal, conservative, libertarian, and regardless of nationality, this is a bit of good news to celebrate.
