Assuming it gets confirmed, I assume the media will fall all over themselves crediting this one to Bush, for pushing Bin Laden into hiding, leaving him unable to get medical treatment. Oh, who am I kidding? Of course they won't. But this is enough good news for one day.
A French newspaper reported that the most wanted man on earth, Osama bin Laden died of typhoid in Pakistan on Aug. 23, mainly because the terrorist mastermind's geographical location made all potential medical assistance impossible.It might not seem as satisfying as some other ways one might have imagined Osama meeting his end, but wasting away from disease, unable to get treatment, is actually pretty grisly when you think about it.
"His geographic isolation, provoked by constant fleeing, is believed to have made medical assistance impossible [and] on Sept. 4, 2006, the Saudi security services received preliminary information of his death," the paper reported.
