I think he got caught up in one of our raids around Tora Bora back when we wer flattening the villages in the general vicinity without regard to whether the inhabitants where good muslims or bad ones (Al Qaeda symps).

Alright kinghorse I asked for your opinion and got it. But I tend to disagree that OBL bit the dust at Tora Bora. If he had of been there he probably would have. What makes some think that he would be anywhere close to the bombing? It is not logical to me that he was/would have been in the midst of the fight or bombing. Take Saddam for example, he did not perish in the shock and awe bombardment, he was probably somewhere in Syria at the time.

TexKat, I agree completely.

Osama Bin Laden has released several tapes since Tora Bora which have been authenticated through voice print analysis and the conclusion was they were made by OBL himself. In the tape released in January (full copy last week, where the attacks on Spain appear to have been activated) he makes specific references to events that have occurred in the past few months. The general conclusion of the US Intelligence Agencies was that as of the end of December, OBL was alive and able to make audio tapes at least.

Obl was captured on January 22, 2004, in Iran. (Right before he was going to replace one of the backpacks of AQ dynamite in Spain with one of his 30-40 suitcase nukes he has in self storage around the U.S.) LOL

Of course, I could be wrong. Perhaps if I buy the new and soon to be launched $99.00 News letter from Sean's site, I can get the real poop. LOL

Seriously, OBL is fine, probably living in a nicer home than me. Meanwhile, we have just bore witness to the real threat before us. Multiple, coordinated, terrorist attacks on major population centers and modes of transportation. As I have always suspected, that will be their approach.

Frankly, for those of us that live inside the beltway, we know the crippling economic, social, and psychological effect of two men, a rifle, and random murders. If AQ ever really understood our society, they could bring it to a halt with the same gripping terror. (Striking at random in not just major cities, but small towns, and places considered "safe.")

Anyway, I don't fear the black wind or the cave of darkness, but I do sense that a strike is coming in this presidential year, and it is coming sooner rather than later. I suspect it will look an awful lot like what we saw in Madrid -- perhaps more wide spread.
