[...] ALLAPUNDIT brought us Probably dead terrorist says he hasn’t seen other probably dead terrorist, a Reuters story claiming that Taliban chief Mullah Mohammad Omar, and Father-in-law to Osama bin Laden, has not spoken to to OBL…best part of that story: “No, I have neither seen him, nor have I made any effort to do so, but I pray for his health and safety,” Omar said in an e-mailed response to questions sent by Reuters. As was pointed out by Newsbusters, Reuters has email contact with Mullah Omar, Taliban chief, fugitive, terrorist, etc. and reports it as if it is no big deal. What the heck is wrong with this picture? Where did Reuters get the email address from – Omar’s MySpace page? Has Reuters shared this email address with the authorities – i.e. the military hunting for terrorists? Or is the email addy for personal communication only. Which Reuters’ employee was involved with the email communication? [...]

On topic, I’ve contended the monster is dead since Dec. 2001 and that we’ll never find out conclusively, for the benefit of both sides. I’m not a conspiracy theorist!

“Gauge”, with respect to shotguns, is barrel diameter. Shot size is just a number - for quail/pheasant/etc, usually a #8 works fine.

Especially the part where Cheney has to shoot OBL a dozen times because he’s using 20 guage ~~bird shot~~ target loads.

There. Fixed it.

Why do you assume hatred of morons? I believe folks are quite tolerant of them here.

Hey Pablo. Just pulling ELF’s chain. But where I come from, moron is considered a perogative term!!!

MKH needs to revisit her game show “Don’t say Obama” and make it don’t say “Osama”… Go to the street and show pictures of both Osama and Obama… and see how many of your average morons get it right.

A publicized capture or death will only cause a rash of new terrorist attacks.

I don’t know, it would be worth it, and the reprisals would be brief.
But I don’t want to hear Usama dead, I want to SEE usama dead.

hey take the birds into the field, pull them out of the cage, twirl them around to make them dizzy, then stuff them into clumps of grass.

Circle once around.
Swing opposite clear around.
Partner by the left and swing clear around.
On to the next.
Ladies cross over with a do si do
Now the gents and don’t be slow.

I’m having a bad day at work already, but just the thought of someone grabbing a pheasant by the wings and do si do-ing brings a smile to my face!
