Curt Weldon: Bin Laden Is Dead

Could it be? Well, Representative Curt Weldon (R-PA) is no Internet blowhard. He broke the "Able Danger" story. Now he says that he has heard from people who ought to know that Osama bin Laden has been hiding in Iran all this time, and now he's dead.

Might that explain Iran's new aggressive attitude--carrying the torch, perhaps, or seizing the initiative from Sunnis? The Iranians, don't forget, are Shi'ites. They believe that a five-year-old kid will lead them in the last battle. Sunnis don't try to identify their Last Great General. Perhaps Osama believed that he would be that general. If Osama is no more, then we might know why Mahmoud Abadinejad, President of Iran, suddenly grew more confident, and cocky.

Or else we'll soon get another tape out of Osama, saying in Arabic a message to the effect "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
