Osama Bin Laden Pronounced Dead...For the Ninth Time!

When Obama pronounced Osama Bin Laden dead in a televised announcement heard round the world last night, he was at least the ninth major head of state or high-ranking government official to have done so.

Given Bin Laden's documented kidney problems and consequent need for dialysis, government officials, heads of state and counterterrorism experts have repeatedly opined that Osama Bin Laden has in fact been dead for some time. These assertions are based on Bin Laden's failing health in late 2001 and visible signs of his deteriorating condition, as well as actual reports of his death from the same time frame.James Corbett, Contributing Writer - Activist Post
