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.

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.
