Well, before we went into Afghanistan, UBL generated videos fairly often. Now there are only audios. That says something, IMO.
Nice dad. :^)
Most people in the know seem to hint that he is likely gone and decomposed, but there is no proof, one way or the other.
We can only hope that somewhere, someplace, a DNA sample might tell a story, but it is not likely.
If the worst happens and Kerry should actually happen to win, you'll never hear anything more from the so-called mainstream media about Bin Laden, he'll just sort of conveniently and gradually vanish into the memory hole. You heard it here first.
OK so I guess you have contacts too? If so, then do you think it will ever be let out to the public?
I bet that is what is going on, but he cannot say anything. This has got to be driving Bush nuts. Just imagine how Bush could smoke Kerry with all his "where is OBL, we outsourced our work, etc". I would love it. However, I know I am fantasizing.
Why should Bush take a position on this?
If Bush says OBL is dead and OBL shows up, it hurts Bush's credibility and helps OBL maintain cult status.
If OBL doesn't show up, a number of liberals will use the opportunity to declare the war on terror over, when it clearly is not.
If Bush doesn't take a position, liberals can't help themselves and will declare Bush is holding OBL for just prior to the election. This will only hurt liberals and help Bush.
hmm, i never heard of this video (maybe because i wasn't signed up to FR then)...
got a link?
ping.
BTTT
bump
This would explain his comments on why he's not worried about him. On the flip side it shows that Al Queda doesn't need him either, which is more frightening that these A-holes cannot be stopped no matter who gets killed in their leadership!
"There is no way that Osama could keep off TV if he was alive. It's too easy to produce a video now."
He may be dead, but it will never come to light. All the Bush administration needed to do was say Bin Laden is dead then on October 25th, he is shown on video being interviewed by Al Jazeer.
Best it be kept quiet.
He's Dead, Jim...

I hope so! Now Alzawri (sp)
No, but this was the first vid he did after Tora Bora. He is definitely not using his left arm, and looks, well, sick.
Al Qaeda middle managers have many opportunities for career advancement, courtesy of the United States government...
LOLOL!!! It IS !!
"President Bush, meanwhile, has just continued to keep the pressure on the terrorists, get us out of a recession, protect the homeland, and generally put the country's interests ahead of his own. He deserves your vote."
Amen ! he's got it....
