I took you to be saying that we weren't able to account for both Hitler's and Mussolini's whereabouts...my mistake. Sorry.

If he is alive we are still hunting him and cant talk about details. If he is dead and we know it, I would speculate we would not want to announce it until Iraq is more stabalized. Announcing we killed Bin Laden may create some more martyrs we dont need. Better for him to just dissapear into distant memory in the muslim world.

If Bin Laden were to die of natural causes in the mountains, assuming Al-queera made it known, The left would say we lost the War on Terror because we didn't "get" him..........

There was an ex-CIA guy on Fox the other day..that just wrote a book (of course)...

And he says that HE was the one that was in charge of the attack on Tora Bora...and that when he asked for more troops at a certain location in that area...he was turned down by the military..

And then, he was relocated to Iraq.....leaving Bin Ladin in Tora Bora...and then he escaped to Pakistan over the border.

HE said he KNEW that Bin Ladin was in Tora Bora...and that the military blew it..by not doing what he wanted..and left Bin Ladin to escape, when HE knew where he was.

He also says he KNOWS that Bin Ladin is alive and well right now.

Don't know how much stock to put in this guy...but, I was going to post about this that day...but didn't have the chance until now..

If any other freepers saw the interview, and could let me know his name, or the name of the book, I would appreciate it..I forgot.

I think it is more likely we know where he is and use him as a magnet/clearing house for islamic nutjobs.

The haji to bin laden, leave, we kill.

It's like knowing where a bee is in a room.

According to Madeline Albright, he's in captivity and will be brought out just before the 2008 election to try to help Republicans.

Did we lose WWII because Eichmann escaped (for awhile)?

Hitler's (burnt up)body was never recovered.

IHMO Bid Laden is most likely either:

1.) Sulking in some sympathetic goat herd's shack in Pakistan. He probably has only minimal contact with supporters and then only though one or two trusted intermediaries that are not obvious terrorist sympathizers. He never uses electronic communications. If this is the case we probably have little idea where he is and can only hope that he will break cover.

2.) Protected in a country with which we do not wish to have a public confrontation at this time. Maybe Iran. Perhaps North Korea. More ominously it could be Russia or China. He may be little more than a prisoner at this point and is being kept in cold storage until they can determine how best to use him against us. If this is the case we probably know exactly where he is.

My money is on something close to option #1: He loves attention and his ego will eventually drive him out into the open where we will kill him. I think we should be doing more to encourage him: Call him a coward. Say that we have defeated him and he is hiding like a sissy while others die in Iraq and Afghanistan. If he is at liberty we can get his dander up.

It takes a long time for the hollyweird leftist makeup gurus to make a digitized version of osama with the appropriate aging and voice dubbing to "prove" he's still alive. They're hoping to have it ready by early November 2006.
