Whatever happen to bedeviled boogieman? Not much press given to his whereabouts.....is he still around or did his kidney affliction finally catch up with him. Is he not the sweetheart of the good guys any longer?

Dead...gone....along with estimated 200 others at the battle of Tora Bora in December 2001

Never heard of or seen since..(save for a few sketchy videos previously recorded)..In an age where intelligence can read the date on a dime laying on a beach from outer space it is pretty obvious he is gone kaput......

He lives on only as a bobble head doll on the dashboards of the hummers that travel the lands supposedly looking for him

Long dead. Zawahiri too.

Interesting. There are those real theories that he is alive and well......if he is gone, who's running the show with Al Qaeda?

He doesn't write any longer and I can't remember the last Christmas card he sent. Anyhow zzzaa, if you should bump into Binny tell him Ken says "hey".

Better chance that he doesn't observe Christmas.

Al Qaeda is not "run". It's the text-book example of distributed management.

...and secretly underwritten by those who you would never expect.

The Muslim Brotherhood.

It is being reported now that Bin Laden is confrimed dead. They must have read my email.

TOO FUNNY !!!

I wonder if it is just a face savings excuse to leave Afghanistan?

I dont care & will be happy if that is in fact the reason to come clean even 10 years late

A covert assassination. Why is this news today?

Now to find out where all his money is.

you need to look at the whole pitcher of koolaid

He is supposedly been assassinated in Pakistan

The place they have been chomping at the bit to enter in force.

More drones more CIA operatives like Raymond Davis

Anyone who believes that someone like OBL would be silent for 10 years has already drank the koolaid long ago

They shut down his Facebook page and now this? The guy just can't catch a break.

This from ABC News.

Osama Bin Laden was killed not by a drone strike, but up close during a firefight with U.S. troops. He was not living in a cave when he died, but in a million-dollar mansion with seven-foot walls just 40 miles from the Pakistani capital, where U.S. forces killed him Sunday.

The U.S. had been monitoring the compound in Abbottabad for months after receiving a tip in August that Bin Laden might be seeking shelter there. He had long been said to be in the mountainous region along the Afghanistan, Pakistan border, hiding in a cave as the U.S. sought to kill him with drone strikes from above. Instead, he was in a house eight times larger than its neighbors, with a seven-foot wall and valued at $1 million. The house had no phone of television and the residents burned their trash. The house had high windows and few points of access, and U.S. officials concluded it had been built to hide someone.

According to U.S. officials, two U.S. helicopters swept into the compound at 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Twenty to 25 U.S. Navy Seals under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command in cooperation with the CIA stormed the compound and engaged Bin Laden and his men in a firefight, killed Bin Laden and all those with him.

Two Bin Laden couriers were killed, as was one of Osama Bin Laden's son, as was a woman reportedly used as a shield by one of the men. Other women and children were present in the compound, according to Pakistani officials, but were not harmed. U.S. officials said that Bin Laden himself did fire his weapon during the fight.

One of the U.S. helicopters was damaged but not destroyed during the operation, and U.S. forces elected to destroy it themselves with explosives.

The Americans took Bin Laden's body into custody after the firefight and confirmed his identity. According to a senior administration official, the U.S. is "ensuring it is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition. It's something we take seriously and therefore it's being handled in an appropriate manner."

According to Pakistani officials, the operation was a joint U.S.-Pakistani operation, but U.S. officials said only U.S. personnel were involved in the raid.

What! No fair trial in a civilian court in New York City? What a shame.

He's a scary dude. I'm superstitious. I will have to wait 3 days and make sure they still have his body. Too close to Easter for my comfort zone, I guess.

Long dead. Zawahiri too.

Not a very good assertion it seems.

Obama's ratings in the polls are going to go up.

Actually, VERY good. He was killed almost 2 weeks ago.

Created a martyr.....that's just what the good guys need. The U.S. should be weary.

You mean weary from all the tornadoes? Who wouldn't be?

i was weary when I finally left. Or perhaps you mean wary?

Yes. Thank you for the correction. You'll forgive me I'm sure, English isn't my first language.

With all the conflicting statements coming out of the White House (he was armed and shooting when he was killed / No he wasn't - he hid behind a woman / No he didn't - and so on) I would like to see an unretouched video of the event. But that is most unlikely.

This now seems more like the execution without trial of an unproven victim.

I am now waiting for the Pakistani government to issue a statement along the lines of

Yes, this was a government safe house. Yes we were detaining a man there and had guards on the premises. No, the man was not ObL - it was another Al Qaeda operative who had been giving us valuable information. He was younger than ObL - as can be seen from the photos issued by the US government. We were about to share all his debrief with the Americans, but now they have invaded our territory and assassinated our witness, we cannot verify his statements. The Americans have not killed ObL.

And how will the Americans disprove such statements? By producing the DNA of ObL's dead sister and saying it is a match to this sample? Where did this sample come from? By showing the photos? They show a man with a dark beard. ObL's beard is totally grey now. He's getting old, living in the mountains of Waziristan.

It's all a gigantic cock-up, put out to secure Obama bin Lyin' the Presidency for the next four years.

I think I have reached that point too LB

But in my case I am both weary & wary

I will close this and a few other Islam/Osama Bin Laden topics. It's getting really quite hard to keep an eye on them and we are getting a lot of posts which rightfully belong in a different thread.

The closure is not because there is anything wrong with them, just too many. If you want any of them re-opened, send me a PM.
