The last time I posted that I thought bin Laden was dead, a few weeks back, I got jumped by multiple FReepers who let me know that I was pretty much un-American for believing that. I still believe it.

Bin Laden last appeared on video in 2004

That's a new one on me.... I thought it was only poor quality audio since about Dec 2001.

“I think Bin Laden died at Tora Bora”

Maybe, but the question is when. In, for example, 2002, 2004, 2007?

It’s not nice to ask questions. The boys from Yale running the “big picture” know what they are doing. Just sit back, relax, and turn on the television.

Don’t say “dead”. Say “carbon neutral”.

Osama has achieved carbon neutrality, all the more reason for the left to adore him.

Are you sure you should be posting what is obviously classified info. on a message board? I mean, I’m sure you have direct access to all of this information you are sharing (/sarcasm). Where do you weirdos come up with this stuff?

Little Known Fact: Bin Laden is a prisoner of Karl Rove, kept in Dick Cheney’s undisclosed location. If the capture were known, we’d have to withdraw from the war, and Bush doesn’t want that.

>>>Is Osama bin Laden Dead?<<<

No, I believe he is still working for the democrats, supplying them with their talking points and surrender strategies.

I don’t understand how the author reaches the conclusions written in the last two paragraphs.

Why is that, anyway? Meanwhile, Al Qaeda broadcasts fake Osama bin Fak’in releases. Why is that?

Everyone loves a boogyman?

It will be a blow to the sloganising of the neo-conservatives - and their notion of the "clash of civilisations" - and to the high-flown rhetoric of President Bush and Prime Minister Blair.

Excuse me!, am I the only one who remembers those terrible pictures of the planes flying into the WTC, the Pentagon and that hole in the ground Shanksville, PA. Was that not a "clash of civilizations"? The Presidents approval rating was, I believe, in the high 80's or low 90's after he stood on the pile of debris that had been the WTC and announced that we would bring to justice the perpetrators. My short term memory is hampered by a stroke but I certainly can remember that awful sight and the feeling of dispair I felt at the realization that this sort of thing had been brought to our shores. We would and will NEVER be the same. Just because people have shorter memories than even I do, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

notion)(?) of the "clash of civilisations" - and to the high-flown rhetoric of President Bush and Prime Minister Blair. "Notion" be damned. I think not; no way, just the opposite is true. They spoke it like it is and will be until the perps are brought to justice (def: killed - my preference)or the Democrats get in ultimate power (shudder) and sweep it all under that round rug in the Oval office.

Don't you think future generations will ask what those two huge towers in downtown Manhatten were that they see in the movies? Great zot.

Believing or not believing that OBL is dead has nothing to do with being American or Unamerican. I can’t begin to see the connection. However, I do believe that if our government became aware of OBL’s demise, they’d plaster his face on the front of every newspaper and magazine in a heartbeat with “OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD !!!!” as a caption. For reasons I can’t fathom, it would boost the ratings of our government’s popularity with Americans. There’s no logic in that, but that’s the way of the land. Remember the hideous faces of Saddam’s sons when they were killed? There was no getting away from those pictures.

Typhoid? Osama really couldn’t have been living that large to catch typhoid.

[He is dead. The U.S. government knows it for a fact, too. They tested some remains found in Tora Bora. DNA doesn’t lie. ]

Your proof of this comment is where? I wish it were true and suspect it is but ‘knows it for a fact’ is based on what?

Has he really died of typhoid?

Well ... since it's not a good idea health wise to poop & pee where you eat and drink, and considering most caves don't have toilets I'd say its very possible.

(They didn't reverse the flow of the Chicago River for nothing. Typhoid was killing thousands.)

There are about 2 million news reports that say he is dead. FOX News Says He is Dead

If you do not believe FOX News, perhaps you would like read other reports? Nothing classified about what happened. Retired military and CIA types give interviews all the time.

Personally, I believe everybody loves a boogey man.
