National Review Online link excerpt:
And, according to Iranians I trust, Osama bin Laden finally departed this world in mid-December. The al Qaeda leader died of kidney failure and was buried in Iran, where he had spent most of his time since the destruction of al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The Iranians who reported this note that this year's message in conjunction with the Muslim Haj came from his number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, for the first time.
UBL isn't dead - Nor in Iran - The odds of him moving into Iran are extremely remote - It makes little sense for either side. - He is eking out his survival in the border regions of Pakistan -
Please contact DevSix for location of OBL.
Well, he's a tall guy (more than six feet.) Being cramped up in a cave with nothing but goats for company, I can understand how he might want to stretch his legs a little...
Reports from the front line.

I don't know ... it is common knowledge he was/is going through kidney failure. You can only fail for so long. If he's not dead, he has to be close to death.
When are muslim leaders going to rise up and speak out against this insanity?
UBL was never suffering from kidney failure or any type of serious kidney disease - This is/was a myth that stays alive mostly due to a lazy MSM -
The only known aliment in which many now suspect UBL suffers from is...Marfan syndrome, a disease that attacks the connective tissues and is commonly found in very thin tall people. (Abraham Lincoln probably suffered from this syndrome.) - But it is not life threatening.
Question the rest of what this source has to say - Or the sources of this source at the very least.
Regards,
This is what they say. I was not about to argue with them.
