How do you know that? Where is he?

I can't prove that he is alive, but at the same time you can't prove he is dead. The CIA says that the "bin laden" tapes are likely authentic meaning there is a good chance it's him. Being that we are all so concerned about terrorism because we are all so scared and feel we are not safe, why not send the military to find his ass? I think finidng bin laden dead or alive would be a bigger victory for "the war on terror" than Sadam. I doubt that Al-Queda operatives give a damn about Sadam. As long as there is a small chance their cult leader, Bin Laden, is alive Al-Queda operatives will continue on.

Yes that seems to be where things stand. Which leaves me wondering how you could have written "Bin Laden however is still running around causing trouble" just a few posts ago. I asked you how you knew this and obviously the answer is that you don't.

So then do you have a point to make?

The CIA says that the "bin laden" tapes are likely authentic meaning there is a good chance it's him.

Is this the same "CIA" whom everyone doubts about "WMD" and the like?

If Osama Bin Laden is alive, I have to wonder why he has such difficulty releasing actual videotapes rather than all these dumb audiotapes. Videotape technology has been with us for some time and is relatively cheap, compact, and widely available, virtually every bit as much so as audiotape technology.

But hey, you're the one convinced he's still running around causing trouble. So where is he? What trouble?

Being that we are all so concerned about terrorism because we are all so scared and feel we are not safe, why not send the military to find his ass?

Give me some coordinates. Where shall we send the military? I'm game.

Perhaps.

Coordinates, please.

I'm ceaselessly amused by the "let's send the military to go get 'im" complaint. Where the hell are they supposed to go?? You don't just "send the military" out the front door and say "here's some helicopters and guns, here's a shirt he wore once, now take a sniff and then go get him". Get real.

As long as there is a small chance their cult leader, Bin Laden, is alive Al-Queda operatives will continue on.

I hate to break it to you but "Al Qaeda" operatives will (and probably have been) continue on regardless of whether OBL is alive. "Al Qaeda", whatever else it is, is not the Cult Of OBL, and even if he's still alive, finding and killing/capturing him would not stop "Al Qaeda" from doing whatever it's trying to do. The main thing OBL contributes to "Al Qaeda" is money and we can stop that even if we never do find his grimy remains.
