Afghanistan
Osama is still alive: Hekmatyar
2009-11-10
Hezb-e-Islami chief Gulbudin Hekmatyar has said that Osama Bin Laden is still alive, a private TV channel reported on Monday. Speaking in a video message, Hekmatyar said the US would be given "safe exit" if it decided to pull out of Afghanistan. "Al Qaeda's 'wrong' strategy was the reason the Taliban were toppled," he said. Hekmatyar said that Iran, India and China were supporting the American cause in Afghanistan despite having "problems with each other". He condemned the suicide attacks in Pakistan and urged "those people who had launched a war against Pakistani security forces" that they should fight against foreign forces.

#10   On the other hand, you can still buy battery-powered dancing Osama dolls along with coffee mugs with Obama's mug on them in the Gaza strip. (Bloomberg)

#9   There is an endless supply of Osama's, doesn't matter much now if he's dead or alive. The jihad is a business matter, and is not about personalities.

#6  Hekmatyar was once the DARLING of the CIA..who deals in expediency in SO many ways. The CIA were staying in a hotel across the street from Dean's place...and had a steady supply of underage girls sent round. They never did much but pass the money along and get little twelve and thirteen year old girls sent to them on a regular basis.

Hekmatyar built himself a small Palace with the money and he liked little boys. When he was a young Teacher back in the day when the Russians were just getting started he was somewhat excessive as a Pederast. Even the Afghans who are
"sorta" ride your little back kinda guys and hold the reins which your pubes seem to provide...regarded Hekmatyar as a bit heavy on little boys backs.

You would have to get to know the Afghans to really appreciate the "kinda" men they are. Anybody remember Wardak(( descended from the Royal Afghan bloodline)? His specialty was carry a big ceremonial dagger and wear sunglasses ( sported a Mr. Whipple mustache). And then if there looked to be a fight he would fart and be gone in the morning. Ask anybody.

#5  Osama is Dead.

Its in our interest that he not be CONFIRMED as such, however.

We can romp and stomp all over Islam for a very long time and Osama can be the grease that keeps our boot leather soft and comfortable....there is a lot of walking in the face of Islam left to do.

If Osama were CONFIRMED as titzup we might have to be constrained and close off some of the Muzzy map to SCREW-tinizing. Better that he be "somewhere" rather than right there. THEN we can roam at will and Islam gets to meet us and get to know us better.

#4  ISI guest houses have all the latest medical gadgets. You can do dialysis there.

#3  If he is still living in a cave, that is a long time to be without good medical care.

OTOH if he's spent that time in an ISI guest house he might be receiving excellent care indeed.

Hard to tell for sure.

#2  The fact that so many OTHER people have to keep whining that "he is still alive" makes me suspect that he is not.

He would be 52 years old. If he is still living in a cave, that is a long time to be without good medical care. Hell, he could have died from an abscessed tooth by now.

It has been 8 years since he went to ground (so to speak).

Put up or shut up. Osama, show yourself.

#1  Hekmatyar has said that Osama Bin Laden is still alive

We need proof of life. Can you send us a picture of OBL holding up the latest copy of the RB Defender-Scimitar, please?
