Amen! Note how a mutual hatred of Bush motivates leftist feminists to slurp misogynistic islamofascists

Yes, there is that to consider

Iran's Mullahs have gone on record repeated times as stating that when Iran has nukes, it will use them on Israel. Hence, the analogy to Hitler is apt.

Iran considers the U.S. the Great Satan and Israel the Little Satan.

So what makes anybody think we can find one person that could be anywhere in the world?

Pol Pot hid in the jungles for nearly 20 years before he was caught...
Never left the country..

He's in Pakistan. We shouldn't go there to get him because the government there is unstable. It isn't a good government, but it's better than any of the currently available alternatives. If it topples, that would put nuclear weapons in the hands of an even more unstable, and hostile government.

And Ted Kaczynski...how many years did he ply his trade right under our noses before he was caught?

He didn't quite do it "under our noses". He lived in a shack with no mail, phone, electricity, etc. out in the middle of nowhere. And he took particular care to wear a hood, sunglasses, and change his hairstyle and facial hair from its normal appearance when he DID go somewhere in public. Compare the FBI "wanted" drawings of him to his appearance when he was caught.

The only reason he was caught is that his brother recognized his rantings when the Unabomber Manifesto was published in the New York Times.

Full Disclosure: The Unabomber was fairly close to Al Gore in his environmentalist leanings, and most certainly was not religious or conservative. In fact, his Manifesto came right out and said it: "Conservatives are fools."

Cheers!

This is more than speculations. OBL is in Iran.

There, or dead, are the two choices.

Iran's government is extremely hostile to us, and is supporting the insurgency in Iraq as a way of pinning the U.S. down. While Iran would hand him over if it were in their interest, the fact is, it is in their interest to keep him safe for now.

We are in an in-between period: Too soon to goto war with Iran, too late for a revolution there - the Tenet-led CIA failed. Worst mistake Bush made was not replacing Tenet day one.

I normally don't pay much attention to the "where's Osama" media stories, but if anybody can give you the best guess on where he is it's Jack Wheeler. He's about the only person I know of that can wear a been there done that T-shirt to any type of gathering.

I agree...it's smart to pay close attention to Dr. Wheeler...he's got the connections...and usually a straight shooter. Some say he's a disinformation type of guy...I totally disagree with that.

"At any rate, I don't know how or why you fake the video and audio to reflect those details."

Good points. I added the end statements simply to acknowledge an alternate approach. I personally think he is alive.

Then the Mullahs will have nuclear weapons (think of Hitler with nukes) and nuclear war is inevitable.

There will be no revolution in Iran because the Mullah's lunatic Revoluationary Guards and other demon-possessed fanatics have a million men under arms. The pro-democracy forces have no weapons. They have no chance.

Bush needs to attack Iran or nuke war is inevitable and many millions will die.

You are 100% correct.

This is why AFTER the Iraq air war the U.S. military ordered 40,000 gps-guided bombs. That is enough to do Iran, N.K., and one or two others if they step out of line. 40,000 bombs at a 90% success rate is more direct-hits than in the history of aerial bombing. In some ways, we are VERY ready for more wars.

“mercs” or mercenaries, “professional soldiers for paramilitary corporations

I have never heard of such a profession. Is it legal? Why would a corporation have need of "mercs"? What do they do?

Pakistan has been killing Al Qaeda. Pakistan would kill Osama...

He's in Iran.

If the Mullahs have got him and won’t admit it and won’t give him up, the pressure for a military strike to kill or capture him would be irresistible.

A collection of Shiite Mullahs harboring a Sunni Wahhabi?

He's working the swing shift at the local Qwik-E Mart.

There not one shred of truth to that.

He's driving a taxi in Montreal, everyone knows that.

If the US government knew where he was, if we knew which house he was staying in, a dozen 2,000 lb'ers would be hitting that house regardless of whether it was in Pakistan or Iran or where-ever.

If we had a reasonable idea which general area he was in, there would be undercover boots on the ground and lots of paid informants searching him out to pinpoint the house where the bombs would fall.

ie. we still don't know where he is.
