On U.S. Vote Eve, Bin Laden Roams at Large(revised headline)
Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 10:11 AM by maddezmom
previous headline read: On U.S. Vote Eve, Bush's Bete Noire Roams at Large

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Moving in convoy on the eastern edges of Pakistan near the Indian border, sheltering in a cave in the barren Karakoram mountains of northern Kashmir (news - web sites) or roaming Afghanistan (news - web sites).



Rumors of Osama bin Laden (news - web sites)'s hiding places are countless, clues are few.


The latest video appearance of the architect of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks gives little away. He sits impassive against a bland, brownish backdrop, his hands resting on what appears to be a table in a video shown on television news bulletins around the world after it was dropped in an envelope at the gate of the bureau of Al-Jazeera television in Islamabad on Friday.


Rumors of sightings of the tall, gray-bearded bin Laden have abounded since the hijacked airliner attacks, but diplomats say most have either lacked a firm basis or been driven by those with an agenda to push.

1. You're confusing the freepers!
They hate it when DUers talk over their heads! Although I grant you that it is extremly difficult NOT to talk over their heads. But you add insult to injury by using a FRENCH phrase like "Bete Noire"! ! !

Well, little freepers, that literally translates to black beast - and no, it's not racist! Think of it as referring to that scary, hairy monster from your nightmares, ready to pounce on you!

That's almost as scary to them as the Bill of Rights, equal opportunity, minimum wage, medicare, public education, a healthy environment, constitutional rights, and all of those other accoutrements of democracy we dems are fighting to protect!

5. And didja notice I used another French word: "accoutrements"?
They'd have to look that up but I doubt they have dictionaries.

8. Betty Noire, Guy's sister
And a real looker. Why, just one glance her way, and a man would forget all about why he wanted to forget. Her pants were so tight, you could read the date on the dime in her pocket.

On the 12th floor of the Acme Building, one man is still trying to find the answers to life's persistent questions: Guy Noir, Private Eye.

9. Yeah
Can someone explain to me why billions of our dollars were spent, over 1,100 dead troops and 100,000 dead Iraqis, and OBL has more freedom than we'll ever think about having again?
