| German Spy Chief Says Bin Laden Is Alive |
| 2004-10-07 |
| Germany's intelligence chief said Thursday he believes that Osama bin Laden is alive and continues to exert influence in his al-Qaida terror network. "All indications are that he is alive," August Hanning, head of Germany's Federal Intelligence Service, said at a news conference. German intelligence officials believe, as they have for some time, that bin Laden is living in the Afghan-Pakistani border area, Hanning said. He did not specify which side of the border. "We continue to see traces of his activity. He tries to organize, to motivate" his followers, Hanning said. He did not elaborate. |

| #4 Its possible to "believe" in the tooth ferry. But, I've never seen one. Semantics reveal this guy is guessing. OBL is not much of a leader - he hasn't shown his face in several years - kind of hard to dig out I guess. |

| #3 This article leads me to believe this guy is still geting checks from Saddam or Chiraq. How about it TGA? Like this:Hanning also warned that violence in Iraq risks plunging the country into the chaos of a disintegrating "failed state" resembling terrorist havens like pre-Sept. 11 Afghanistan. Or it may just be the AP Hanning suggested that Western nations are losing the battle for the hearts and minds of young disaffected Arabs. "I detect a still growing, generally anti-Western mood in the Muslim countries," he said. I wonder how much of it is attributable to the still growing, generaly anti-American mood in Europe that is reflected in the public statements of the French, Spanish and German governments. You eurojerk infidels better decide which side you're on 'cause your new Muslim masters are not likely to take as much shit as we do without reacting. My doctor told me to stop this post before my blood presure gets to 4 digits. |

| #2 All indications are that he is alive Indications. Yea, I have indications God is alive too. But without seeing his face, it's a matter of faith whether he exists. After two slow sales years of "Bin Laden Does Tora Bora" at the video store in Baghdad, not even the Arabs believe he is alive. Apparently, there are new directors in town. Their vids have better production values and use advanced marketing techniques such as beheading. Their vids have moved even porn off the top shelf. Poor Osama, he doesn't even rate bottom shelf these days. His vids are kept in the comedy section. Show me the video where Bin Laden speaks of recent events please, then I am sure he will be back on top of the charts - number one with a bullet or should I say number one with a bomb. Then we will all know, not guess. Call us when you have evidence Herr Hanning. Otherwise, stay out of our election. |
