I have been wondering about this for awhile too. I may be giving GW more credit for nobility than I should but, I wonder if he knows Osama is dead or is in custody and is waiting for the election to be over before the announcement to give the country something to cheer about without the taint of "October surprise".

I agree. If he announced it now, the liberal idiots would scream bloody murder that he was doing it to win the election.

Osama is actually living in the bunker 40 feet underneath the white house and getting fat. He plays craps with the Secret Service and is watching FOXNews 24/7 unless Rush is on.

He's said "I don't know", and my inclination is to take
him at his word.

Note that this is a true answer even if his policy was
that he didn't want to know if the post-Tora-Bora BDA
turned up OBL's body.

However, it's perhaps more likely that the body is
buried in a collapsed cave not worth excavating, or
the fatal episode resulted in no identifiable remains.
Don't forget, we've yet to ID a considerable fraction
of the WTC victims/remains.

Could also be that he died a jaundiced skeleton in
some scurvy raghead camp, and they were too embarassed
to attempt to make a martyr of him.

Considering all the outcomes, undead works for me.
