18. I don't know
Wasn't there earlier this year rumors of a power grab in Al-Queda? I also remember seeing a video of a guy being turned over to the Saudi's who was supposed to be from Al-Quadea (a main person) but when you look closely it looks like BinLaden. I wish I could remember where I found it. I own but don't have enough webspace.

4. Answering the question with a question.
Is he worth more to bush alive or dead?

My feeling is that society is never very scared of a dead bogeyman.

6. He will never be dead!
Why would Bush have one of his closest friends and business partner killed?

If Bush had all the Bin-Ladens flown out of the US after 9/11 when al flights were grounded, then why would he have one of there realtives killed?

22. Why does bush** hate Americans?
Or more to the point, why does bush** hate poor Americans? Poorer than he is, that is. Which pretty much encompasses the majority of Americans.

17. Dead Or Alive, Dickheads Comment About 'Dead Or Alive'
kinda killed his value as a 'Goldstein' for the neocons.

Probably why they had to over-promote 'War on Terra' and Osama-lite Zarqawi.

White House Doubts al-Zarqawi Among Dead

U.S. forces sealed off a house in the northern city of Mosul where eight suspected al-Qaida members died in a gunfight — some by their own hand to avoid capture. The White House said Sunday that it was "highly unlikely" that the terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was among the dead.

No way they are going to lose this 'Goldstein'

20. Other.
Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 12:38 AM by 1monster
I don't think there ever really was an "Osama bin Ladin"... I believe that Osama was really never anything more than a Jim Henson type puppet that just didn't turn out quite they way it was intended.

Consider how many people seem to believe that Kermit and Miss Piggy are real and alive. Then add in all those folks who think that Yoda really rocks!

So, in answer to your question, I don't think that bin Ladin is dead, but I don't think that he is alive either...

:+ :tinfoilhat: :evilgrin:

21. He hasn't sent out any videos lately...
I'd have voted "I don't know," but having to guess I'd guess he's dead only for that reason. But I truly have no idea.

24. Unfortunetly, still kicking
Which raises the question: Why? WHY ISN'T HE CAUGHT!?!?!

If he's dead, tell us! If you don't know, tell us! But this is the asshole who killed thousands of our citizens! WHY ISN'T HE CAUGHT!?!?!

25. Ausaf, a Pakistani newspaper,
reported that Osama grew very ill while campaigning at Bamiyan, Afghanistan this past June. He was was taken to Kandahar, where he then died.

He is reported to be buried in the Shada (also spelled Sada) cemetery. This should be easy enough to check, shouldn't it?

30. He's dead from that earthquake
And we'll never find the body. I will be very surprised to see some tape from him in the future mentioning current events. He likes to release stuff around our elections apparently so we'll know for sure next October.
