He’s dead until we need to declare he’s dead for a second time (or more) and then nothing will be said about the previous report(s).
All bets are off as to the truth, or whether he even exists. He was pictured with the senior Senator from AZ some years back. Could be he is munching on chips and salsa in Orlando with his family while on weekend leave. One never knows about these subcontractors.
Sort of like that second or third time ‘people were saying’ that Osama Bin Laden was killed. I still do not believe he was killed on May 2, 2011. I suspect it was far sooner than that, maybe December of 2002.
