Osama bin Laden on Dialysis?

[Pliablemoose]

Saw a mention of it in "Janes Security":

Times of India 3/26/00 "??ISLAMABAD: Alleged terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden appeared weak and gaunt at a meeting of followers to discuss US President Bill Clinton's visit to Pakistan, an Afghan witness says, and a western intelligence official reports Bin Laden is seriously ill with kidney and liver disease. Bin Laden has kidney failure and ``his liver is going,'' the official said on condition that neither he nor his nation be identified. He said Bin Laden's followers are trying to find a kidney dialysis machine for Bin Laden. Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia, however, insists Laden is fine. ``His health is good. There is no problem with his kidney or liver,'' said Ahmad Ullah, a Taliban spokesman reached by telephone this week in southern Kandahar, the headquarters of the religious militia. ......"

Reuters 3/16/00 "??. Asiaweek magazine said on Thursday that exiled Saudi Arabian dissident Osama bin Laden is dying of kidney failure. The weekly news magazine, quoting "a Western intelligence source who has been tracking him," said in its latest edition the kidney disease had begun to affect bin Laden's liver and associates were trying to obtain a dialysis machine to stabilise his condition??."

The WTC bombing has been like a Bond movie, now the "Master Criminal" is a cripple? Where's his g0ddamn angora cat he should be stroking?

I have a feeling this may be a rumor...

 

[Brutuskend]

No, I don't think that Yellowish complexion has anything to do with bad kidneys.

 

[NicklasReugen]

Let's put him on a diet of napalm and sugar, nuke him til he is flourescent and shoot him in the dark...

According to local intelligence sources, the Pakistani authorities have provided medical facilities for the ailing Bin Laden, including renal dialysis, at a military hospital in Peshawar. None of this will be unfamiliar to US intelligence operatives who have been compiling extensive reports on these alleged activities.

Link fixed......This is a credible source people:Q

You would think that with the influence he has, they would sacrifice one of the followers in the name of Allah for his kidney and give it to bin laden.

 

[thEnEuRoMancER]

Some sources are quoting the man is already in the terminal stage from kidney and liver failure.

 

[Tates]

If this is true, then it makes sense as to why Pakistan is so willing to cooperate.

Of course, it could be a ruse to distract attention.

<< You would think that with the influence he has, they would sacrifice one of the followers in the name of Allah for his kidney and give it to bin laden. >>



But then they prolly dont have the medical support for such actions over there.

Basically that place has been thru walls for decades. Those people got nothing to loose. But then the fact is that I actually feel sorry for them. They might have been an asshole blowing up the WTC, but then the fact that their building blows up every day.

He's "appeared weak and gaunt" for as long as I can remember... the guy is 6'5", 150 pounds...

 

[compudog]

Calling him a "guy" is entirely too kind. Even if he wasn't responsible for the 9-11 attacks he is till an evil being hiding behind the cloth of Islam.

 

[Rage187]

I say we kidnapp him, Give him a new kidney(a pigs kidney), so he'll have all his stregnth when we kill him...

Basically the term for yellowish complexion is "jaundice"....it has nothing to do with kidney failure.

Although liver failure can sometimes cause kidney failure, the converse is usually not true.
