Bin Laden is dead

http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politicalticker/2007/01/cheney-bin-laden-still-alive.html

Cheney: Bin Laden still alive

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President Dick Cheney told CNN on Wednesday he thinks Osama bin Laden is still alive, but claimed U.S. efforts have "done a lot of damage" to the senior leadership of al Qaeda.

"Obviously, he's well hidden," Cheney said when asked by CNN's Wolf Blitzer why coalition forces have not been successful in finding bin Laden. "We've been looking for him for some time. I think the fact is, he's gone totally -- he doesn't communicate, except perhaps by courier, he's not up on the air, he's not putting out videos, the way he did oftentimes in the past."

11. Gotta love it. Understated humor at DU.
Any lurking freepers are probably changing the fuses in their tiny mechanical brains.

8. I completely agree
In 2004 he died in an earthquake in Pakistan

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000087&sid=aDdEUmNakm_8&refer=top_world_news

It was believed that he was in that location and ever since then there hasn't been a single video "message" from him. All audio which is not credible.

He's dead. Until I see a video of him with a newspaper he is dead.

12. Yep, not only that, arab speakers who know the different
dialects of Arabic and Osama's style of speaking have said that the audios are not Osama. They have even said that the Arabic sounds like it has been translated from English.

10. freeze-dried Bin Laden, portable and ready for use anytime during the 2008 campaign
it's almost too predictable.

22. Awesome.
That is some funny shit.

And you know what? I think he really is already dead. Otherwise, they certainly would have rolled him out by now.

24. Cheney:" I know because he is up my ass and occasionally he wiggles.
But I'm pretty well sure no one else can see him. "

28. Quite a few experts think he's dead--except for Robert Fisk
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=358&topic_id=3185

I'm disenclined to blow Fisk off, as one of the few Westerners to have interviewed him. However, if he's dead, we have to explain where those post-mortem tapes purporting to be bin Laden came from.
