He’s on a mission from God, and failing kidneys aren’t gonna stop him!  Here’s the strange tale of ex-con turned Rocky Mountain Rambo, Gary Brooks Faulkner (above left), who came thisclose in his quest to behead Osama Bin Laden (above right) with a 40-inch sword:

Gary Brooks Faulkner got within 9 miles of the border before the Pakistanis nabbed him.  Faulkner’s family insisted he was “passionate, not crazy” and, remarkably, has made several previous attempts to track Bin Laden to his hiding place.

“As a Christian, he was not afraid,” Faulkner’s doctor-brother, Scott, said Tuesday. “When 9/11 happened, my brother took that very personally.”  Faulkner’s sister, Deanna Martin, said her 50-year-old brother and Bin Laden have this much in common—bad kidneys.

He was diagnosed four months ago with the same disease that killed their father.  “He’s dying,” she said. “He only has 9% kidney function, and the only thing that can cure him is a transplant. He needs dialysis three times a week.”  His brother said Faulkner had taken a break during his trip to get dialysis in southern Pakistan.

Reminding me of the camping trips of my youth, Faulkner was found Sunday night in a forest, “armed with the sword, a pistol and carrying night goggles, some Christian texts and a small amount of hashish.”

Some Fox news footage of Faulkner follows below, but, oh, wait…is it possible Faulkner was actually working for the CIA?!

Well, at least somebody’s doing something about it.

This guys blows my mind! The more I read, the more sane and rational he sounds. Which scares me. Is this Chuck Norris’s comeback role? It reeks of him.

I’m sure he meant well, but it’s too bad he didn’t do a little research before setting out on his mission. First of all, he would have learned that Osama is most likely a patsy, not the “mastermind” of 9/11. Simply looking up the reason why 9/11 isn’t even mentioned on the FBI’s Most Wanted profile on Osama would have given him a clue.
There’s also been scattered reports that Osama is already dead. Even if he did manage to kill him, does he seriously believe the U.S. government would let the world know that our greatest excuse to loot the trillion dollar treasure under Afghanistan has been eliminated?

‘In my opinion, there are only two necessary requirements concerning mangoes. Firstly, they should be sweet and secondly, they should be plentiful!’
Shefta narrated that these are the Ghalib’s comments in one gathering in which the mangoes are under discussion.
