"Osama is in Iran"

Correct. There is absolutely no reason for him to stay in Pakistan and or Afghanistan. In those two countries he risks capture and death. In Iran he can make the occasional video or tape and send it to Al Jezzera. He can not lead troops in battle as he has in the past because that would assure his capture and death. If the rumors about his ill health are correct that would also preclude him from hiding in Pakistan or Iran. He would need sophisticated medical facilities to care for his failing or failed kidneys. You do not do dialysis in the back of a cave.

Surely at some point failed kidneys become fatal. At any rate, keeping binny's existence an enigma seems to best serve America's war effort for the time being.

I have my doubts that Osama bin Laden is in Iran, for one reason: Osama is a Sunni Muslim, and Iranians are Shi'ite Muslims. Given that the Sunnis and Shi'ites dont like each other for lots of historical reasons, I think Osama is probably dead, and an impersonator that knows Osama's views and lifestyle is doing those broadcasts and pronouncements in the past few years.

I hope we never catch him.

The instant he is in captivity the ACLU and their ilk will go berserk defending him, we would spent the next 3 or 4 decades giving him a fair trial.

I hope we never kill him.

The lib-uh-rhuls would declare the war on terror over and force the US to stand down and totally disarm.

The møøselimbs will have a godlike martyr to rally around, and the world will have a bloodbath the likes of which it has never seen, while the US lib-uh-rhuls hamstring every effort we might make to prevent or delay it.

OTOH as long as he is on the run he can be spotted anywhere we need to have him spotted. If Iran is becoming too much of a threat, they can be found to to be harboring OBL. Of course they deny it! But we now can go in to get him.

When Iran is no longer a threat, he can escape to, say, Syria. Syria will vigorously deny that he's there. Who wouldn't? After we're flattened Syria, he will have been found to have slipped out to _____.

Pretty soon he will become a pariah in the møøselimb world, NO ONE will want to even seem to have anything to do with him.

A fate far worse than death for the likes of him...
