“If he was dead we’d have known by now.”
Presumably that's b/c the jihad websites would be chattering about it and/or other jihad sources would have some indication of Z-man's death......
HOWEVER, that comment does not at all address the report that Z-face may be severely wounded. IF the latter is the case then the jihadis would very likely hold back and wait for more news - plus they don't want to call any attention to the situation in case it spurs a search for the incapacitated Z-face.
So I don't think Roggio's comment seems meant to have anything to say about the possibility that Z. is severely wounded...... let's hope so, and wait for hard news. I hope he is soon to be food for worms.
