At one time there was no shortage of bin laden videos but no new ones for a long, long time. Why not?

First, this really isn't accurate. There has never been a tremendous amount of video of UBL. Secondly, and more importantly....when there was video of him, it was prior to us putting boots on the ground and hunting his sorry as$! UBL clearly became much more interested in his well being, staying alive than with promoting his new found status.

Also note, the video of him that came out shortly after 9-11 was not put out by him or AQ propaganda wing....but it was video that was recovered during a US SOF Op and then released to the public. Could there be other such videos recovered during Ops since (be it 2005, 2007, 2008) and simply not released to the public?
