He is, he may be, he isn't dead... Until conclusive proof that he's DEAD is shown to the world then I'll believe he's alive.
You've got that backwards. How about a little conclusive proof that he's actually alive - a picture holding a current newspaper or something?
He's been taking a dirt nap since Tora Bora.
The definitive test for me is that I will know Osama Bin Laden is dead when Dan Rather tells me so.
He is, he may be, he isn't dead... Until conclusive proof that he's DEAD is shown to the world then I'll believe he's alive.
I personally think that Bin is blowin in the wind, in bitty little fragments, having long ago taken a direct hit from a very large bomb, and that any eyewitnesses to this event are also blowin, and that you will never see conclusive proof.
Perhaps we should hunt down every hidey hole and stomp every nest of Jihadi until we either find his body, or our great great great grand kids say "Daddy, what was a Muslim?"
He's not dead, he's in a cave typing memos about the President's ANG service.
My vote goes to dead. Now that he isn't that important to anyone, I think we will most likely find out he has been dead for a while. Just my .02!
