Has he really died of typhoid? robert fox weighs the claim and its implications:

I personally think he's been dead, or just totally hanging on for a while now.

Maybe there was truth to the Resident saying he's not worried about him.

Yeah but contrary to what the village idiot says, this won't be a case of "cutting off the serpent's head and the body dies". Bin Laden's minions will be more than happy to carry on the fight I am sure.

That's the ugly part. By not getting him in a timely manner, his influence is that much greater...

"...village idiot..."

Name calling is all you've got.

Let's see.

Fighter pilot.

Bachelor's from Yale.

MBA from Harvard.

Texas Governor.

Major League Baseball Team Co-0wner.

President of the United States. Twice.

And YOUR resume?

Herb

How many of those things would he have achieved without his family's money and his daddy's name and connections? George W. Bush thinks he hit a triple because he was born on third base.

Compare Bush to Bill Clinton, who is a self-made man, who had *NONE* of these advantages. Clinton is the man Republicans should admire, because he embodies the American dream of "if you work hard, you can succeed and even become president." George Bush's story is, "If you are born into a wealthy family and your Daddy was president, you could be, too."

We could have done a lot worse than with George! Kerry is Scary!!!!! The country is headed for a recession so we need a good businessman in charge of things for the next term! One with a strong military background would be a good plus!

"And YOUR resume?"

Hard worker.
Honest man.
Quick learner.
Never killed anyone.
No picnics with the Bin Ladens.

Yep, my resume is better.

Perhaps it is because my dear Dad isn't a pathetic despot with a draconian New World Order.

The funniest part of that Bush resume was this:
"Fighter pilot".

HAAHAHAHAHA! That's a good one!

I know! "Jet Pilot" folks, and not one that was trusted with our best tin.

For all we know, with the consistent bumbling stupidity -- some might say collaboration with terrorists -- by this administration, Osama is alive and well, and living in a compound in the Adirondacks.

5 years of flying, rated above average by his superiors, chappie james III says he was a pretty good pilot.

The record shows zero, zip, nada, squat, none, not a moment, nope, nary a second of service in combat. Thanks for playing shrub, now go home before you kill any of our real pilots or wreck any of our aircraft. Even though we were at war, he was never needed in battle, so it does raise an interesting question. Which side would he help?

The question is just as legitimate today, and still being asked by the military.

Which side has he helped?

I think it inappropriate to refer to Mr Busch as "Villiage Idiot". That is just not right. He is way beyond that now with his new role as "Court Jester"!

flight school flunk out
coke fiend
drunk driver
multiple business failures
a Texas oil man who failed to find oil in TEXAS!

Most fighter pilots never serve in combat, most infantrymen never serve in combat.

This clown sucks and everybody knows it. Does not matter what is credentials are, the results of the last few years speak to the reality, and that is all that matters.

Oh boy, here we go again. All "fighter pilots" have served in combat, hence the moniker, "fighter pilot." Otherwise, they are "jet pilots" who fly fighters. Do we really have to play this game every two weeks?

He was the rich clown who bought the beer, brought the blow, and could not get laid by a sober woman. He treats our Armed Forces like toys, much like he treated his bird. He was a flyboy who was a piss test away from a court martial. He has polished this turd for decades to no avail, but still, some folks just can't see it.

"Name calling is all you've got."
Just calling it as I see it.

"Let's see.

Fighter pilot."
Who went AWOL from his weekend duties in Alabama.

"Bachelor's from Yale."
Graduated near the bottom of his class.

"MBA from Harvard."
Good for him! Must be nice to have a daddy in the CIA.

"Texas Governor."
Where, by all accounts, he was a hell of a lot more effective than as President.

"Major League Baseball Team Co-0wner."
Who traded Sammy Sosa for a bag of peanut shells and saw the franchise run right into the ground.

"President of the United States. Twice."
Unfortunately.

"And YOUR resume?"

No need to talk about MY resume. Let's just say that if I had as many failures on my resume as George W. Bush has on his, I wouldn't be running three restaurants right now. I feel very comfortable with my resume.

Thank you for your concern.

Is Osama bin Laden dead?

We can only hope!

I am guessing he is alive and well. Like any multi-millionaire in his position, he has been hiding since being given credit for 9/11. I believe he was smuggled north through the mountains. Perhaps he is in a hospital somewhere on the Chinese frontier, or in Mongolia. Heck, either way, he could have touched base with his old childhood pal, the shrub, on his 2005 junket.

Osama is like so many media figures these days. They pop up, dance a little for us and disappear. The news is like the clock in the town square of a European village. Predictable, amusing and outside of that moment in time, essentially meaningless. Thank heavens we are all too busy meddling in an entire region to hunt for one man.
