Bin Laden has passed into the category of Elvis sightings.
Yeah I think Binnie will be a lot like Elvis, with sightings in convenience stores and mosques all over the middle east.
Maybe even in Detroit.
E’s pinin’ for the fjords.
Yep, dead and dust a long time ago. If he was still alive, why hasn’t president once said, “hey he’s elusive, but we will get him because we want to bring him to justice.”
There are verifiable recordings of him post Tora Bora.

He’s dead Jim.
questionable though... he made a lot of videos close to the time of Tora Bora.
The truth is stranger than fiction.
Three major figures in American News and Politics, Osama Bin Laden - Terrorist , Saddam Hussein - Despot , and Barack Hussein Obama - President of the United States.
I can’t make this stuff up.
It's true! I'm a member of the "Osama Tape of the Month Club" and every month I get scratchy-sounding audio cassette tape, wrapped in beautiful hand-tooled goat skin. If I close my eyes, I can almost smell the guano-laden caves of western pakistan!
I could not possibly agree with you more. He’s dead and has been for a long time.
He’s been dust for years.
Three years ago would I have EVER DREAMED that my two primary income checks (Social Security and GM pension) would come from a guy named Baraq Hussein?
He’s dead. Every video past that one with him walking over a mountainous trail in spring with grey in his beard, each one, has had video stoppage when new audio is heard. The video is old footage. His audio is always “authenticated” but I doubt it’s him. For some reason both al Qaeda and the state dept find his being alive useful.
As Rumsfeld said, “he melted into the landscape”
Nailed by the magnificent United States military.
For purposes of that weird Muslim machismo (you know the needledicks that have to hide their women under yards of fabric), an inconvenient fact that the Islamic scum will never admit.
In an October 7 debate during the presidential campaign Obama said that if elected, his administration “will kill bin Laden. Wonder how that’s going?
Obama pledges to succeed where Bush failed on bin Laden
(AFP) – Jan 15, 2009
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Incoming US president Barack Obama has pledged to try to succeed where his predecessor George W. Bush failed by catching or killing Al-Qaeda terror network leader Osama bin Laden.

The Muslim extremists are not the only ones wanting and needing Osama to be alive. Our side wants him alive, too! The anti war effort would be given one more point of discussion in their arguements against the war on terror (or whatever its called now) if Osama was dead.
Given both sides need Osama alive, he is alive, at least in disinformation campaigns, and will be forever.
BTW: My favorite Osama is dead story (unconfirmed):
Within hours of the USA’s attack on Afganistan certain members of the Taliban, who were jealous and resentful of the foreign born Osama buying his way into their country and having so much influence, hunted him down themselves and killed him. This was supposedly for Osama causing the USA to invade their country. I heard this on the radio news. It was reported by a Chinese military adviser of the Taliban who was supposedly present at the killing. Chinese intelligence supposedly leaked this story to a Tokyo newspaper. The story could not be confirmed so even though there was a radio verbal report of it, this story never saw print in the USA. However, this version of Osama’s death is so satisfying (and likely) that I rank it as as the most likely cause of Osama’s death, though it must be admitted we will probably never know the truth.
