You said it! My mom left on Sept 8th for a 14 day tour of London, Paris and Rome (yes she got home safely on time). The one thing she noted about London was the huge number of Muslims she saw.

[B-bone]

Agreed, but I would prefer a picture of him D E A D with a copy of today's paper...

Small pieces ON today's paper is probably the closest you will be able to get at this point in time.

Bin Laden is as dead as the Clintons' senses of honesty and ethics. And that, gentle reader, is as dead as it gets.

[Peach]

Yeah - it's easy to "stay out of sight" when you're dead.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Elivis reportedly back on stage in Vegas!

[BOBTHENAILER]

He would want to capitalize on this to appeal to the Arab street so he will probably delay any attacks until the United States moves on Iraq," said Saddam Hussein.

My feeling exactly.

[RetiredArmy]

Who will be sighted first? Elvis or OBL?

[js1138]

Even that won't be good enough for me - I'm waiting for an announcement from the FBI that the picture isn't faked.

I don't think anyone can determine the authenticity of a photograph anymore. At least not without the original negatives.

As for the hit and run war -- I think there is some value in keeping them occupied, even if it goes on for 50 years. All this takes organization and money, which gives us something to trace.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Make that ELVIS. Doh!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yeah, they could morph that, too. Would like to see Bin Laden in a clear video, clearly in his own words what the exact exchange rate for 1 Saudi Arabia riyal to the US dollar is for 29 August 2002, for example. Down to the decimal point.

Fact is, they cannot clearly prove he is live.

I remember the movie in the 1980s about El Salvador's civil war when the leftist rebels propped up one of their dashing (but dead as crab meat) 'commandante's, took staged photos and the peasants still thought he was alive and hence took to arms.

"He is the master of disguise...." You should see his "compost" disguise. It's pretty convincing.

[VMI70]

But remnants of al Qaeda and their Taliban allies have continually frustrated the U.S.-led coalition by hiding in mountains, melting into the local population or fleeing into neighboring Pakistan or Iran.

The solution to this is to melt the local population.

[Eva]

Bin Laden's bin dead.

"He is the master of disguise...." You should see his "compost" disguise. It's pretty convincing.

LOL

Bin Laden Reportedly Back at Helm of al Qaeda

Which body part?

[Magnum44]

"Al Qaeda were shattered during the U.S. bombing so it was difficult for bin Laden to stay in control. Now they said he is fully in command again and they have regrouped and are organized again," Atwan told Reuters.

Good. Groups are easier targets.

another Elvis sighting

[freebilly]

Hi, ma, I'm still dead!

[Gerrymander]

Why in God's name are we rattling our sabers at Saddam while this guy is still on the loose planning more horrors against the U.S.?

Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Bin Laden has had plastic surgery. Here he is:

BIN LADEN: "I think I look pretty good! Yea! That's the ticket! And I'm alive and well! Yea! And I've been dating Morgan Fairchild! Yea! I'm just fine and working on my next film, er, jihad! Yea! I'm coming to get the infidels! yea! That's the ticket!"
