I agree, OBL is dead.

I loved this line:


His remains are turds shat by scavenging animals in the mountains of Afghanistan blown by the wind and stomped on by US troops.

IIRC his "doc" has confirmed that the dialysis rumor is not true. I wonder about the recent reports that he is in Iran?

If Bush announced UBL's death 48 hours b4 the election it would put Kerry in a quandry...does he praise it, or say it is for political gain at the expense of exposing himself as the traitor he is????

The latter of course...Kerry would convert to Southern Baptist and heal a quadraplegic.... to get elected.

As long as he isn't *officially* dead he can be sighted anywhere we need him to be sighted.

Once he's *officially* dead the dims will declare the WOT over and demand all our troops return to US soil.

The only justification for UBL being dead in this article is that he has not been seen or heard from since the war began. This in itself is not proof of anything.

If he is dead, how come his minions haven't leaked it out or promoted his martyrdom? The claim that if he were killed or captured were made public, there would be no more justifying the war is like saying since we've captured Saddam the war in Iraq is over.

This is nothing more than a conspirocy theory and a BIG one at that.

Uasama isn't dead, just overwhelmed with work inventorying all of those virgins for the brotherhood.

I've been yelling this for a long time. When his 'messages' started coming to us in the form a cassette tape, I mean, come on, the guy can't scrounge together a handycam?
He's obviously worm food.

Video? Are you sure? I thought the video claim in this article was wrong but then I realized that most of the UBL communications since Tora Bora have been audio tapes. When was the last UBL video?

Maybe you're right - I'll have to look it up to know for sure when his last video was released.

Maybe Bush hasn't announced it because we can't prove it and no one will believe it without proof.

I have though this for a long time.

I thought there had been audio tapes from him that were confirmed to be his voice. Other insiders claim he is living inside Iraq or Pakistan, disguised as a cleric.

I'm more curious why we haven't seen Mansoor Ijaz around lately. He usually has the inside dope on what's happening in the Muslim world and this sort of topic would be right up his alley.

Your analysis is top notch. President Bush has a winning strategy and he is not going to let Kerry and his minions bait him to do the wrong thing.

One more thing that I might add is the Weapons of Mass Dist-ruction issue. Anyone with half a brain knows that the WMD's do exist. However, in the chess game of geopolitics, that truth must be kept in the background noise, where you and I are pinging and blogging. President Bush will never say, 'the WMD's exist and I know where they are.' This is a critical game of strategy to be played. Because Kerry knows that Bush cannot reveal the truth of the matter, he not only says they never existed to justify going in to get them, but also repeats the mantra of the left that says President Bush lied about their existence to justify going in to avenge his father's failure in Gulf War I.

That Kerry would use for his own advantage the limitations posed by national security strategy shows the buttons he is willing to push to further his own ends. If he were to have the buttons of power at his disposal as President, the question for my fellow Freerepublicers is, to what extent would Kerry circumvent the Constitution to further the cause of socialism?

My slip of the mouse: dist-ruction = destruction. Sorry.

Last night I was listening to a high ranking Special Forces guy on the Royal Marshal radio show. I can't remember if he was an officer or enlisted. He was with the Special Forces for over 25 years.

Nevertheless, he said through his contacts the OBL is dead. We got him on Dec 15, 2001. He had been identified by multiple intelligence groups. Our Special Forces units cornered him into a cave with 5 entrances. He said we pounded the gave with C-130 Gunship, and B-1 bombers for 7 hours.


This guy also said if someone would ask him to go get OBL. He would first ask them to prove it he was still alive.

I just thought you might find that interesting. There are three reasons I think this would be kept a secret.

1) To keep the rest of the terrorist network uniformed that their spiritual leader is dead
2) To prevent OBL from becoming a Martyr, and to prevent new OBLs.
3) To prevent the DemRats from saying well the war on terror has been one.


Just thought you would like to know.
