Ouch! If I knew I was going to stir up the hornet's nest, I wouldn't have posted it.

LR1947, I didn't think I was dishonoring the call sign. I just feel if there is any possible lead into finding the most wanted man in the world, we should look into it. I'm not saying we should send in an ODA because some Saudi said he met bin Laden. But we should at least consider it as a possibility. If he is actually there, it would be a tragedy if we didn't send a local source to look into it.

For the record, I picked the name because it was a call sign, not because I wanted to imitate any other members of this forum. I look to LR1947 for wisdom and advice because he has spent quite a few more years behind glass than I have. If it is confusing to anyone, all you have to do is look under the name. Big difference between QP and Auxiliary.

TS, my shooting skills are still up to par. You mind if I keep the name and keep my mouth closed for awhile?



PM sent.

SGM Billy Waugh said "osama bin stupid" was given a dirt nap in 2002, that and the fact no one has seen him since 2002, only heard him, speaks volumes.

It looks like they found him. Here's the latest UCAV photo of the area where the CIA thinks he's holed up.

Oh, that was a great post Richard......I saw him right away,he's the guy(as plain as hell) in the 13th row from the top, going from right to left in the 19th position......Right? This has got to satisfy any of those doubters that think he's dead. But, the National Inquirer and Star said that picture was his graduation photo, so who to believe!

Bin Ladin's son link to Iran

Saw report that Bin Ladin's youngest son may have been killed recently by a hellfire missile in Pak on a couple different news outlet. I found it interesting that the intel official mentioned that it may have been possible that the son may been held in Iran under house arrest. My theory/vote/opinion, whatever several months ago and a few pages back, was that Bin Ladin could be in a compound under similar circumstances Iran. I understand the prevailing wisdom is that no one has seen him for a very long time. I couldn't name one reason why it would benefit them to withhold showing Bin Ladin in a video. Could Iran be giving him medical care and preventing him from leaving or making videos? I'm amazed it has gone on this long. I know I'm not offering anything new here and has been discussed, but thought I would keep the question current on this thread since there is a poll here on his supposed condition or whereabouts.

bin laden has bin dead since 2002. If bin stupid can release an "audio" he can release an "audio/video" just as easily. IMO the "audio" release is for the unintelligent islamic cowards that require something to "hold" onto in their fight against the West.

His inability to do so since 2002 proves to me he's very dead.

It's time the United States declares his death and that we killed him way back in 2002.

I'm with you TS. I always say, when asked, that he "assumed room temperature" at Tora Bora.

Based upon further research I change my vote from alive to very likely deceased.

If he's been dead since Tora Bora, don't we look a little stupid? Especially now - the Afghanistan surge, Karzai election, Pakistan double game, etc.

I hate to say this but I think I'm becoming an isolationist. Let the world take care of itself for a while.

Let's all go to Mexico!

Mexico is tough terrain and full of bandits. It also only narrows and that makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm moving north the Canada.
