There is no more evidence that he is alive than there is that he is dead. Common sense says, that if he were alive then where is the tape? Where is the proof?

Wasn't there was a voice tape released post Tora Bora that the CIA confirmed was OBL? When it was made is a different question. However, there is no proof he is dead and shifting the burden of proof like you're doing doesn't fly. I also thought he was dead but now I'm not so sure.

If we knew where Bin laden was, and we actually knew it. We would bomb the hell out of it.

I don't think the Tora Bora tape was anything but patched together.

OBL is the spiritual leader of AQ.He must be heard by his flock and he has not been heard from.

He never was a planner or a logistic guy. His value was only spiritual leadership and justification.

He could have easily resumed this from a wheel chair or bed, but he has not.

I think the reason is obvious.
