Also note that Steyn is getting more bold in his belief that Osama is dead. It would be nice if it could be proven.
If it turns out OBL really is a bunch of ashes, it will be one of the all-time great calls by a journalist. Nobody else that I know of is making this claim.

Only R. Emmett Tyrrell is saying this. Steyn has been saying Bin is dead since Tora Bora. Unfortunately, it appears DoD has reason to think they didn't get Bin. But Steyn is the greatest on the scene and he just skewered the
"nuanced" candidate big time. I'm surprised Kerry isn't saying questions about the SUV impugn his patriotism. Did anyone here know Kerry was in Vietnam?

"If it turns out OBL really is a bunch of ashes, it will be one of the all-time great calls by a journalist. Nobody else that I know of is making this claim."
I believe as Styen does because I have yet to hear a logical, believable explanation as to why he has not appeared on video tape for going on three years.
Such a thing (a video tape appearance) would have too much value to the true believers to be avoided for any reason other than it's actually impossible.
As for "expert" conclusions that it is osama on certain audio tapes that have popped up, I think those represent best guesses that are impossible to prove or disprove.
And in the strategies of rhetoric, it can be in our interest for him to be alive but unseen.

Yeah, Steyn has stated this several times now that OBL is dead. Inside information?
