Is FOX News The Only Source That Spells "Osama" as "Usama"?

[arwalden]

I've not seen it spelled that way anywhere else... but perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places.

I suspect that it may be likely, since after all... it's FOX who continues to use the ridiculous "homicide bombers" label when referring to that which we all know as "suicide bombers".

2. I've been making fun of them for months

over that "homicide bomber" shit. Do they think "suicide" is somehow inaccurate? I mean, WTF? Timothy McVeigh was a homicide bomber. These cats who blow themselves up are SUICIDE bombers. DUH!!!

6. Richard Clarke spells it that way in his book...

"Against All Enemies".It seems to me his a pretty good authority on the subject of UBL too... Imagine faux doing something right!!

7. Actually, Usama is actually more correct

There is no "O" in Arabic per se.

As for the other Faux bits, I'll make no comment beyond you're 100% keerect in your assessment ;)
