Probably not. We have evidence that he was alive at least at the time of the 2004 elections, and al-Qaeda really has no reason to hide his death and make a "Big Brother" out of him. You likely would have heard about his death through some Arabic media if it had happened.
Actually, bin Laden admitted he was responsible for the attacks in his last video. If he hadn't, he likely would have praised the real "perps."
"Osama Bin Laden he's the only man ever to supposedly attack the mighty united states and get away with it scott free..."
That's my point. Why did he use that word?
Although I agree we should not give up the hunt for Bin Laden, it should not however divert any unnecessary resources to do so. The WOT is much more than OBL, as was WWII much more than Hitler and/or the Emperor of Japan.....
True, but we have already cut down al-Qaeda's ranks by about 75%, I believe, and we need to bring each and every one of our enemies to justice. The bad thing now is that with the current opinion of the Iraq war, it will be hard to go after new enemies like the Palestinians and Iranians.
