Nevada Senator Harry Reid thinks Osama Bin Laden was killed in last month's earthquake in Pakistan.

Speaking Wednesday on News 4's Nevada News Makers, Reid says he was informed today that Bin Laden may have died in the October temblor.

"I heard today that he may have died in the earthquake that they had in Pakistan, seriously." Reid says that if that is the case, "that's good for the world.

1. So will W claim God is doing his work for him?

Maybe god will speak to W and tell him that Bin Laden is dead. "Your too fucking stupid to get him yourself so I had to do it for you -- why don't you join Satan's team?" She(God) would say.

17. * Will Say He Prayed For An EarthQuake To Kill OBL And God....

listened to his prayers. Remember God talks to *.

2. I was considerably out in front of Harry on this one:

So make me a Senator or something.

[NVMojo]

4. LOL! you go rzemanfl!

[rzemanfl]

8. I just now noticed that I forgot to put a question mark at the end of

my October 8th question. That makes me too dumb to be a Senator, guess I'll have to be President instead.

24. haha! right on mate! n/t

27. A true "master of the obvious" indeed

[blue northern]

3. This sounds like a puff piece.

Reid heard recently that bin laden may have died in last month's earthquake in Pakistan.
He may also have survived.
He may never have been there in the first place.
Without hearing the source of this second hand speculation, I say so what Sen. Reid?

[maseman]

7. Think about it...

Sen. Reid is genious. He is forcing people to again ask "Where is Bin Laden?" If he isn't dead then why hasn't our terra fight'n administration gotten him yet "Dead or alive?"

I like it.

[blue northern]

9. He's not forcing people to ask 'where's OBL?'

He's telling people he's pretty sure bin laden's dead and no longer a problem.

Something here smells funny to me.

[NVMojo]

13. Reid is NOT a stupid man. Something it up.

[KittyWampus]

30. The article headline is VERY misleading. As per usual, DU'ers don't read

the whole article or question the context of Reid's...

sigh :(

[Spinzonner]

5. I think he went to Disneyland

but they haven't shown that video yet

[guruoo]

14. Did you catch this...

[leesa]

6. Bullshit. He's been dead since December 2001. He had terminal kidney

disease, which is why he agreed to have his name used for the Bush Crime Syndicate's 9-11 deal to kick off their PNAC adventure. In exchange, he got the removal of our bases from SA.

15. Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!.......We have a winner!!

Yup!, you've nailed it!

[ToeBot]

21. opps mis post

[atomic-fly]

10. Good reason for us to send more help there.

[seriousstan]

11. Breaking news...Reid hears internet rumor a MONTH after everyone else.

[fshrink]

12. Who cares?

Fox maybe.

[Miss Chybil]

16. Yes and Elvis lives.

Why talk this kind of shit without proof? It's irresponsible.

[Yupster]

18. Agree Miss C

No one has a clue where he is or if he is.

What's the point ofr speculating.

22. "so I can get my hands on that 30 million!!!!!"

uh huh. That's likely. uh huh.

[Dogmudgeon]

20. It was really Colonel Mustard in the Living Room

Yes, I've used this same gag six or seven times already, but that's only because the Bush junta doesn't have a Clue.

--p!

[IndianaGreen]

23. OBL is dead! The war is over! Bring the troops home NOW!

Now that OBL is dead, there is no need to continue to wage this senseless war on terra. Let's declare victory and bring the troops home now!

[stlsaxman]

25. Hey Harry ain't stupid. He knows much that we don't.

... or maybe that quote came from Osama bin Laden DRESSED as Harry Reid, saying Osama bin Laden might be dead...

yeah, there you go- all you lurking freeps- THAT's the ticket!

:rofl:

[doodadem]

26. Olbermann showed this clip last night on Countdown

Of Reid being interviewed. Reid said he heard the OBL rumor on the radio! Keith asked, and rightly so, is Reid being kept so out of the loop by the Whitehouse, that he has to get his info from the radio and speculation? It didn't play well.....

[Demeter]

28. I Think Osama Went To China For a New Kidney

and then called it a day and went home to Saudi Arabia, where he doesn't have to wait to die for those 72 virgins.

But then, I'm a cynic.

[Nevernose]

29. Disconnect between the headline and the text

"Reid Thinks Bin Laden Killed..."

is not the same as

"...if that is the case, that's good for the world."

The rest of the brief article includes such phrases as "not sure" "think perhaps" and "certainly hope so."

[Maggie_May]

31. Bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

our both dead. I fear the administration is afraid to tell the American people the truth. If my statement is true than we would really have a case to bring our troops home. This was is not about getting them or to bring democracy to Iraq its controlling the OIL.

[BrotherBuzz]

32. Reid makes it official...

OBL talking point is now off the table.

[NVMojo]

33. sort of what I thought he meant, moot issue, never existed?

[BrotherBuzz]

34. Why?

Inquiring minds want to know...
:shrug:

I always assumed OBL was hanging out in your fair state. I figured he was holed up on the top floor of one of your finer casinos, living the good life...Mission Accomplished!

[Ouabache]

35. We ought to check and see if Tim Osman has immigrated to the US

Wouldn't surprise me none.

[BrotherBuzz]

37. Zing!

:thumbsup:

While we are thinking about CIA names, it might be prudent to check out the Howard Hughes suite, too. You know what I mean, Vern? ;)

[pinniped]

36. I think Osama is either dead or alive.

38. Here's the stupid Red State response to this story:

[54anickel]

39. Bwahahaha, delusional

a Bin Laden capture, or Zarqawi capture, launches a rush of patriotism in support of the Bush Doctrine

[PittPoliSci]

43. we got one (or two!) IT WORKED!

I'd say they're pretty much fucked.

seriously, what does one or two men matter in this organization? NOTHING.

would the world be better off without those guys in the organization? sure, but there are now thousands more than excited to be the next boogeyman of international terror thanks to bush's ridiculous policies.

[cantstandbush]

40. Reid is nuts. OBL was killed at Torra Bora. n/t

[existentialist]

42. irony

That would truly be ironic, wouldn't it?

All the forces that the U.S. can bring to bear out to get him, and done in by either a random accident of nature or an act of God, . . .


It is possible. It is not that unreasonable a location in which he might have sought refuge. And if it were so, we probably would not have heard as those who might know would be likely to keep it secret.


But is it likely?


I think not.

[Catfight]

44. Good, I don't care how he died, as long as he is dead! nt
