I will really be suspicious if OBL's DNA is found at this time and his death is attributed to the earthquake.
As you guys know, I've said all along that I thought his hideout was bombed and he was killed some time back. I think it possible that all of the videos/audios of him are being made by doubles. This last one didn't even have OBL's same body shape.
My gut feeling is that if OBL were alive, he'd be appearing on TV daily, giving encouragement to all of his devoted followers.

You are wrong - UBL has not been dead (and probably isn't from this quake).
UBL is very much alive just as is Zawahiri, Mullah Omar and Zarqawi (name ONE video Zarqawi has put out showing himself?? Or Mullah Omar?) - Hasn't happened.
These guys are much more concerned with staying alive then with putting out propaganda videos -
Way too much Hollywood if you think "body doubles" are being used for UBL video's - Sorry, real world that doesn't happen / and or work -
Just as there was much speculation about Saddam having changed his appearance, undergone plastic surgery, etc, etc, etc - The fact is when we pulled Saddam out, the reality of the real world was with him....that being he looked exactly like Saddam and all the Hollywood BS scenarios were shown for just that. Hot air BS.
al Qeade cannot recreate videos with body doubles of UBL to the level that it confuses our Intelligence services. Nope.
If you had a good understanding of the terrain in the Afghan/Pak/China border region along with an understanding of what the tribal leaders and customs are like there.....you would appreciate how extremely difficult it will be to capture / kill UBL who is eking out a survival in this region.
The logistics alone of trying to run sustained Ops in this region is incredibly complex (for a great number of reasons).
The fact is we have over 140,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq, we have control of 90% + of that Country, we have the full backing of the majority of the citizens along with most of the newly elected Gov't - Yet still Zarqawi remains at large. And will continue to, until we shorten our OODA loop enough to knock his as$ off!
We have less then 12,000 soldiers in Stan and only a fraction of those are capable of conducting effective Ops in the border region.
