the Arab media turned on bin Laden when he began looking like a loser

Remember that video of Bin Laden when his beard was all grey and he looked weak and ill? I'll bet that's when he began to lose his mythical god-like status. He began to look like the tired, old limp-wristed self-absorbed swine that he is in real life. Also, watching the Afghanis celebrate his departure was priceless.
