I completely agree with this assessment.

There is no way that Osama could keep off TV if he was alive. It's too easy to produce a video now.

I believe he died shortly after Tora Bora, where he was wounded.

I want to see proof of life.

I hadn't realized that it's been 3 years since we've seen a video from him. It does seem odd but then he's always been the patient type from what we've been told.

I agree

Actually, the video of him that came out after TB with his one arm incapacitated leads me to think that maybe he did escape wounded and has since died of the wound.

Still, no matter what the rationale, I can't imagine if he were dead that Bush would not reveal that during this election cycle. The stakes are just too high.

My hubby is fond of saying that UBL is the "goo in a rock sandwich" at Tora Bora.

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.

Bush should realize if he doesn't announce it, Kerry may become President>I think if it were so Bush would have told the public!

I disagree...I just saw him behind the counter at the neighborhood 7-11.

I have felt and said this since Tora Bora. Audio tapes don't sway me. It's been two years plus since we last saw a new message. With his history I read this as he's dead and buried so deep in some forgotten cave that even his followers won't find him....and, without a body Bush can't say squat.
