Apparently a French intelligence document was leaked that suggests that Osama bin Laden died in Pakistan from Typhoid on August 23rd. Frankly I’m shocked.
Shocked that he even possibly lasted this long.
Now I know the rumors of his kidney disease are unsubstantiated. But I still think it’s likely, given all the information I’ve read.
My boss, Vixen, is on dialysis three times a week. The way she feels right before dialysis, when her blood is at its most toxic, pains even me.
There is no fucking way that a kidney patient could live for 5 years in the mountains of Pakistan.
I know, I know. I’m just railing off some crazy conspiracy theory. Maybe Osama’s been visiting Plastic Surgeons too. I guess none of it really matters until we see a body. And trust me, if the US government knew where to locate a body, we’d see a body.
Midterm elections are only two months away.

I agree with just about everything you said here, but one thing remains: Can we ever really trust the French? And French Intelligence is the equivalent of “semi-smart toddler” in my opinion.
See, I’m torn. I’d love to see his carcass hauled out of some cave, stiff from the rigor-mortis, and on display for all to see. But I’d love to see him walk out of the same cave more. Not that I’ma Bin Laden fan; I’m not. I’d just like to see him take one between the eyes is all, is that too much to ask?
I suppose if he died of “natural” causes, then it is because he can’t surface long enough to get medical attention, so that would mean that the U.S. basically suffocated him to death. It was a slow painful death, which makes my day feel better.
