Saudi Terror Leader Osama bin Laden has questioned French Intelligence services reports that United States President George W. Bush died of a tick bite at his Crawford, Texas ranch on August 23. However, despite repeated denials from the White House and several public appearances and a prime time address by Mr. Bush, the French are standing by their assertion. What makes the French so sure?

 

According to Unnamed French Intelligence Source Pierre (Grassouillet) Eaumaison, speaking on the condition of anonymity said, "Mon Dieu! Nothing could be simpler. When was the last time the French believed anything the White House said? To our thinking, the very fact that they say something is proof that it's a lie. Of course George W. Bush would say he isn't dead, who wouldn't? But mon ami, we have the tick with Monsieur Bush's DNA!"

 

It is uncertain how bin Laden will respond to the evidence of the 'smoking tick'; it has been postulated that the very fact that George W. Bush was President of the United States, or the Great Satan as Mr. bin Laden endearing calls him, has been instrumental in the rise of al Qaeda's popularity throughout the world. Without such a potent enemy, however inept, the fear is party support and fund raising efforts will falter.

 

After five years of hiding, refusing to interact with none but his most loyal followers has left Mr. bin Laden seriously out of touch with his constituents. During his tenure as Terrorist in Chief, bin Laden has shown himself to be a one themed leader with his emphasis on the War Of Terror the only thing he can point to that would validate his term in office. In the regions he controls, health care is practically non-existent, jobs are scarce, and the economy is quite frankly in tatters. Consumer confidence is low, and the housing market is weak; even the dearth of affordable housing due repeated missile and suicide attacks has failed to jump start the faltering construction industry. There have been rumblings from within his own party that Mr. bin Laden would be better served by attending less fund raisers and spending more time addressing the issues that affect their lives.

Do you ever wonder what would have happened or how things would be now if Massood had not been assasinated.

I don't think it would have made much difference really. There may have been issues over allowing the US to install Karzai as leader as Masood would have sought a prominent role in a "Free" Afghanistan.

 

At the end of the day, the intention of "coalition" forces was never to completely defeat the Taliban, the US held the Northern Alliance back while thousands of Taliban and Al Qaeda were airlifted from Khandahar to Pakistan, remember?

 

The idea of non-Pashtun Afghans, like Masood and other Northern Alliance leaders (Some of them notorious war criminals) leading the country never entered the equation.

I was told once that his assasination was the green light for 9-11. He was the one factor the held the northern alliance together. The entire dynamic changed once he was gone. Massood never wanted to lead Afghanistan but he did hold a formidable power base. Just ask the Russians
