Even when we catch Osama, that is if we already haven't or if he indeed is already worm food, I don't think we would announce for quite some time. It wouldn't make any sense to, since it would only encourage the short-sighted to say "ok we've got him, let's bring the troops home."

I guess I would be considered in the minority, but I believe OBL is alive. With that being said, remember what was said on the latest tape: That he anticipated his death this year and that he would die in the belly of the eagle or something like that? My thoughts are that Mohammed was caught sometime ago and that we have been on the trail of many suspects since then, then they let out the news of his capture. OBL is one of those suspects and he knows it. He is not going to allow his capture, but thinking it imminent, will try to go out in a spectacular way, in the belly of the eagle (America or Americans). I pray this does not happen. May God protect all!

Yah, I appreciate your point on this. I may share it, but I don't think that is Bush's style. They have consistently publicized whoever they arrested/killed, probably thinking it did huge psychological damage to the surviving AQ members.
