The best article I have read hands down on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the 'Pashtun belt' is right here:

Seriously now! Iran is not at all worried about a US invasion. Don't underestimate our enemy. They know we have our hands full in Iraq and Afghanistan. Politically, with the new administration coming in, Iran knows all to well Obama hasn't the frist clue when it comes to anything military and he hasn't supported our efforts in Iraq. An invasion in Iran would undo almost everything we have achieved in blood and money in Iraq and undermine PM/President Malki. Iran stopped worrying about us before the election. So many of our esteemed congressman and senators, thought it was wise to do a 180 after they orginally supported the decision to invade Iraq. Yeap! Iranians are kicking back smiling knowing they're in good shape knowing we won't allow Israel to take out the nuke sites, we lack the political will with the anti-war left in power to either stike or invade them. With Shia in control of Iraq, Iran's proxy forces in Lebanon and Gaza pretty much holding those governments hostage, they are in great shape sad to say. The Iranians really couldn't be doing any better! Is it really that difficult to hide OBL and his bitches in a compound when they have the means and will to do so? Hosting OBL keeps us busy looking for him and stirring things up in Gaza helps deflect attention from their nuclear ambitions. Mark my words, Iran and probably China will test Obama soon after he builds his basketball court in the Whitehouse.
Question? If the pork eat'en OBL isn't dead then how are they making the audio tapes that appear to address current events. Technology? Like to hear some possible theories.
I think he is very much alive! There is no proof and I am not aware of any evidence to suggest it. OBL went underwater for 3 years after Tora Bora and didn't resurface until days before the 2004 elections handing Bush the election. Way to go OBL! You gave our guys 4 more years to crush your ass in Iraq with Sunnies turning against them. 4 more years of taking the fight to them in Afganistan and Pak.
