edit to add: LongRange27, you seem interested, riddle me this, in an age of flash drives, and digital audio/video, WHY does "osama the coward" only smuggle out "audio" for the world to hear? If you are going to "risk you life" to smuggle out your rantings why not audio/video? Simple, because bin laden is very dead and someone esle is doing the talking. There has not been a video of him talking since 2002, only audio. ALL the other tapes no one could confirm the dates because he didn't speak of anything current. He's dead.
2nd and most importantly, bin laden was no where to be seen when we marched into Iraq, no where. He should have been doing a video a day to boost the morale of his idiot followers as we were killing 10's of thousands, not one peep from osama the coward. Because he's dead.
3 you constantly hear from his #2 coward all the time, audio and video, ever wonder why? They're supposed to be hiding together, so WHY would it be "less" dangerous for #2 to do audio video and #1 to only do audio? Because #1 is dead.
We can go on and on but I'm sure you get my drift. Why we don't tell the world, I can think of quite a few reasons as well as why al quada doesnt tell the world their leader is dead.
Your turn, convince me he's alive.

TS,
Good points. It is very hard to argue against that because some questions just can't be answered unless I have a TS/SCI clearance and I am in Waziristan actually looking for him and his buddies. When I get to that point, which I will, we'll talk again...
I am not actually taking a side of dead or alive, rather, I am trying to get all the opinions I can from knowledgeable sources. Bush says he's alive, the Agency says he's alive, and we still have a large group of resources out there looking for him, so that's all I really have to go on at this point. I agree that I can definitely see the benefits of Al-Qaeda saying he is alive. But I can also think of a very good reason AQ would want us to think he is dead: no more BLU's to ruin their cave parties.
But the only reason I still have my doubts is I would think a third party would confirm his death, such as the ISI or Afghan govt, people who are sick of our presence in the region and want to question why we are still there if he is in fact dead. And I would think someone besides Dalton Fury that was on site when he was killed would write about it and stop the lies.
You have a good argument, and I have no way of convincing you he is alive. I would just like to see a body so I don't waste my time chasing a ghost.
