p> OBL CPR br> Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s Osama Is Dead : /p>

With respect your belief that OBL is dead:

As much as I admire Mr. Steyn's analytical skills and his writing, I'd like to believe there is another alternative. All the evidence you present to support the thesis that OBL has passed, supports another thesis, as well.

I'd like to believe that some young American military folks, during a rest break six months back, threw a frisbee into an overgrown area and, in retrieving it, found the ailing OBL in a very poor state. They applied first aid, CPR, held his hand and gave him cool water. These troopers, mostly former Boy Scouts, quickly realized that, before they took him in, OSB needed health care and quiet rest and rehabilitation.

p>My bet, therefore, is that our medicos are trying to help OBL regain his health to the point where he is strong and well enough to stand the rigors of his appearances and hectic schedule once he returns to public life. The treatment center is at a place like Diego Garcia and he is being cured with Yankee hospitality and some experimental potions and procedures. Alas, should he not respond to the focused regimen and his spirit fly to the promised reward of a number of virgins, his body would probably be consigned without fanfare or public notice to an unmarked grave in the same deep blue ocean that OSB loved so well. br> -- unsigned /p> p> MISSOULA LOVES COMPANY br> Re: Bill Croke's
