Well ask how it is that the Prench have this inside information on OBL.... Then ask who benefits for it to have been leaked? If leaked... :)...

Maybe someone like OBL would benefit if folks believed he was dead... lesson the pressure to find him... or now his ghost.. We know he will die sooner or later and he never has been a healthy person and living like he does/did puts life expectancy from normal causes pretty low.. I'd venture mid 50s at best..

al Queada has some reason to keep his name alive that may out weigh telling the world he's dead... but what interests me is who would dare to tell the Prench SS anything and not tell them where he is.. 25million$ would also motivate the purported outter of OBL to also give his address....

Edit.... or would the Prench find a way to Extract OBL's address from this well informed source or just say.. "oh.. thanks alot... "
Don't make logical sense to me.. any of it..

The "where is bin Laden" arguement will be gone and Democrats will have to come up with something else.

LOL, Bushites like to whine about Bush Bashers using every excuse to critisize him, yet here you are trying to spin this as a victory for Bush. I wonder where we learned our tactics from? Perhaps it's fighting fire with fire? You think? :D

If Osama is truely dead then it's good news for everybody, but hardly a political victory for Bush. He was the one who let him escape in the first place.

Spin this as best you can, but it's more then likely just some more pre-election BS spin and everybody has wised up to the liars. This could even backfire on you.

Only in your patheticly warped view. Bush theoretically went after for four years. Then, he wimped out and said capturing him wasn't that important. Bin Laden's death by natural causes doesn't mean squat for Bush's over-inflated, under-performing ego.
The "where is bin Laden" arguement will be gone and Democrats will have to come up with something else.
The laundry list of felonies he and his administration have committed against the American people, including domestic spying, torture and outright treason, should be a good starting point.

It just occurred to me that Bush can now say that OBL didn't die of some natural disease but, rather, died from a super secret small black ops event that he personally oversaw...
He was on the cell phone with the team the entire time and gave the go ahead knowing the risk those brave individuals would be under... But they did the job and we have finally won... God Bless America... With his help we have finally terminated the mastermind of 9/11 and most of the upper members of his group... America can sleep easier tonight with the knowledge that finally Bush can reveal the Truth of Operation Turnip and ease our angst... Set the terrorist warning to Green... all is well..

False as in the source confessed to making it up, or false as in Osama was seen alive or released a tape?

He was probably dead last year, but the GOP will sit on this story until November.
