Gary Faulkner Wants Over $6 Million For Bin Laden's Capture

GREELEY, Colo. -- The Colorado construction worker who flew last year to Pakistan on a one-man mission to hunt down Osama bin Laden says he played a part in bin Laden's death.

Gary Faulkner said Wednesday he'd like one-quarter of the $25 million reward that was offered for hunting down bin Laden. He said he'd use it for his nonprofit foundation.

Faulkner was found last year in the woods of northern Pakistan armed with a pistol, sword and night-vision goggles. The Greeley, Colo., man says he believes he had a hand in forcing bin Laden out of the mountains where he supposedly was hiding.

Bin Laden was killed at a compound in northwestern Pakistan early Monday. U.S. officials say he had been living there for up to six years.

But! But! as any fool knows, Baby Bu$h & F-Yew Chainey should get the reward, cause they got the location info on Bebby Laden when they water-boarded Glen Beck!

To folks who regularly blow themselves up, his pistol and sword must have been very intimidating. *rolls eyes*

This guy is just a VERY NAIVE victim. Actors played their role realistic and good, now the puppets are waking up to the facts of gaining experience and beginning to understand more and more, thinking more before it gets too late. With greater disasters comes a greater unition. If not enough people understands it's a nuclear fallout scenario which will wipe out the mainstream city residents allover the world.

Clearly the waterboarders deserve a few millions too! And what about Bush and Cheney?

Reward should be split amongst those who truly had a hand in his eventual take down
Especially the Seals

THE DEMISE OF OBL HAS BROUGHT OUT SOME CRAZIES AND THIS GUY IS SURELY ONE OF THEM.  HE OBVIOUSLY HAS NO GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT AND HIS " FOUNDATION" MUST CLEARLY BE THE SCAM BY WHICH HE SUPPORTS HIMSELF.  HE REMINDS ME OF THE CHRISTINE O'DONNELL , GRIFTER WOMAN TYPE OF ZERO SUM LOONIES WHO TRY TO SCAM THEIR WAY TO FAME AND FORTUNE.  THERE'S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE AND THESE MISCREANTS AIM TO FIND AND TAP INTO THEM.

I only read through the first page of comments but noticed that nobody, at that point, pointed out that Faulkner said he forced OBL out of the mountains last year, when it has been suspected that OBL had been living in the compound for up to 6 years. To everyone saying: "Just give him the money!", it makes about as much sense that if I went to Libya now and Gaddafi was found and captured/killed in another area a year or so later, then I should claim a portion of the reward. Makes no sense.

I, as well, have had a hand in the final disposition of Bin Laden through my refusal to allow him to hunker down in my coat closet. In return for my keeping a relatively Bin Laden-free coat closet, I would like 1/125th of the reward which I will use to improve said closet. Thank you.

for $6.25 million... it would be worth the attempt. What's he gotta lose?
