CAIRO: Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is in poor health and is seeking medical attention, the London-based Arabic newspaper al-Hayat said yesterday, quoting a US officer in Afghanistan.


"Osama bin Laden is trying to obtain medical attention," Colonel Don McGraw, director of operations at the Combined Forces Command in Kabul, told a group of British reporters, including one from al-Hayat, it said.

"He (McGraw) refused to say what the Qaeda leader is suffering from or whether it is the same kidney disease which Pakistani officials said in the past he was suffering from," the newspaper added.

Al-Hayat said it was not clear how the US military had obtained its information or where it thought bin Laden might be.

3. It doesn't matter

bin Laden had four years to spread his seeds.

He could die tomorrow and we will still be 1,000 times less safe ten we were before 9/11

7. Yeah- that kills me, too.

"He's got a boil on his ass- it's festering. Looks really ugly, too. Huh? Oh- no idea- the guy could be in the western hemisphere for all we know. He's crafty."

5. Doesn't It Surprise ANYONE That We're Puffing Up OBL Again???

When in trouble... FUZZ IT UP!! SOP for "the corrupt ones!"

I was sitting in the doctor's office this AM when some idiot turned on Bush talking at the UN. So I did the obvious, I put my fingers in my ears and looked down!! I simply can't stand to see the monkey, much less HEAR him!

I did get a few strange stares, but no comments! I live in Repuke country, but I just wanted to let them know how much I despised this man!! One lady looked a little shocked so I crossed my eyes at her! She looked away!

Sort of made my day!

6. Where are the inquiring minds

If I was one of those jim-dandy, ace reporters we have in this country I'd be all over this and asking "how do we know that--do we know where he is---do we know people who know where he is??". What losers............

8. We already know the answer to those questions.

Oddly enough, it's the same answer we got for the "if you know where the WMD are, why don't you tell the UN Inspectors?" question.

You know- it'd "give away our intelligence methods". lol.

9. We know his exact GPS location

but we won't "take him out" as we have a deal with Musharraf. He "supports" our "efforts" in Afganistan, we let him keep power.

Without OBL alive, he's a dead man.
