Osama bin Laden is Already Dead (In Depth Opinion Piece)

Having put Osama out of the way early gives the U.S. plenty of options for years to come.

The War On Terrorism can go on as long as necessary, and be carried out anywhere. Then when the time is right, report that he was killed suddenly in a massive airstrike with no body, no witnesses, and no proof to the contrary.
Osama is dead when WE say he is dead.

Bush and the Team are doing a great job.

Interesting!

Osama has left the building!

Tell me if you want OFF or ON my ping list - don't be shy. . .

I hope your theory is true. It passes the plausibility test. Also answers a number of nagging questions such as why OBL hasn't been "rallying the troops" with interviews.

[MeekOneGOP]

Oops! Try that again. . .

Great animation, and appropriate. If you look back at the news items related to Osama sightings in the last two months, they have him in any and every cave in Aghanistan, Pakistan and Burger King in Kalamazoo.

Thanks for the ping, MnM, but I believed this WEEKS ago. ;-)

Check out what's by my name on Saber's pool.

So, how does OBL control and remain the military and political and "spiritual leader" of these different people if HE is ONLY seen as a sneaking, timid, cave-dwelling coward who can no longer "influence events" ..... ?

I had to read this twice to see if you were talking about Osama or his good buddy Clinton. Their followers are quite similar aren't they? Answer one, grasshopper, and you have answered the other.

Hmm? I'd like to but can't seem to find where he's posted it last. . .
;-(

Hi susangirl, how is everything?

[SusanUSA]

Everythings just fine my way! And you? :)

[HighWheeler]

You knew this WEEKS(?!?!) ago! You have some inside info on Osama?

I'm fine, but a bit scared. I need to cruise the Internet for a good desert recipe for the neighborhood annual Christmas party tomorrow night. The organizer (and taskmaster) this year tagged me with bringing a desert. Any leads?

[SusanUSA]

Chocolate and fudgy? Gingerbready and spicy? Nutty and gooey? LOL
What's your pleasure, and I'll try to find ya something. :)

[SusanUSA]

Where has he NOT posted it? *L*

Here ya go, Meeky.
Scroll down a bit

And have a great week-end. :)

Now that you mention it, isn't the bounty of 15mil up from 5mil?
I recall a story where a man's wife lost her cat which had been totally irritating to the husband. The husband agreed with his wife that a reward should be offered for the safe return of the cat. When the husband went to place the article in the "Lost & Found" and offered a 10 grand reward, the publisher said "Would you pay that much for someone to find that cat?" The husbands reply was "Nobody will EVER find that cat..."

I think he's still alive. He's had years and millions of dollars to plan for an "exit strategy".He's probably hiding in a deep cave just across the Pakistani border.

I think the US Embassy bombings in '98 drove the CIA to keep close tabs on him for good. They probably had him down to a few square miles by September 11. It was only a matter of having the CIA operatives narrow his position before bombing the bastards straight to hell.

Did we have CIA operatives in the midst of Osama? Well, Ex-American John Walker was able to assimilate into the network, and was found just recently. Who knows, perhaps there are others in there, too, on our side.
I know, I know, I'll put on my tin-foil hat and argue that John Walker IS a CIA operative.

Thanks for the heads up!

Great analysis. Bush spoke sometime near the end of October (don't remember the exact event) and he seemed unusually elated and that was followed by Rumsfeld's statement that we may never catch him. I remarked to my husband at that time that I thought something was up; that perhaps obl was dead.

[HighWheeler]

The recent raft of news reports that he is nowhere to be found, no confirmed sitings, his constantly changing locations, all in the last 2 months - and the fact that he wouldn't be able to move without being spotted, is making it more and more likely he was killed early on.

[SamAdams76]

In the first night-time bombing raids, Osama’s entire surrounding Active Zone was thoroughly destroyed all the way out to a miles-wide buffer zone of absolutely no human activity. Bunker busters and conventional bombs fell continually for hours in the Active Zone, laying a continuous encircling carpet of utter destruction from which nothing larger than bacteria could survive.

I do not believe we have anything in our arsenal short of nuclear weapons that could create the situation you described. In any case, such a killing zone would surely have become public by now, being that the entire country has now been liberated and open to reporters.

Anyway, I certainly hope that OBL is dead by now and that we'll never know for sure. For as you say, as soon as OBL's death is known, it will create a rallying point for future terrorists. Better to have Elvis-like "OBL sightings" for the next 20 years or so. Especially in places where we would like to bomb.
