I sent Bernard to visit Osama via Cruise Missile. Launching two fish at our escort in Wilhelmshaven was the last straw. If he isn't dead by now, I bet he's wishing he was.

If AQ is concealing his death it might mean that they fear the group will splinter with no heir apparent to fill his shoes.

Theirs is a movement of ideology, not personalities. See for example, what OBL's pals, the Taliban, said just the other day.

Seems like I said this before.

If it's true he needs Dialysis for his Kidneys ... how hard is it to follow the trail?

I think he's on a nice tropical island somewhere with a drink in his hand his toes in the sand and some one is bringing him Virgins... Dont look at me that way...They have the technology to make Virgins as long as his Family has money.

It is completely unimportant if OBL is alive or dead, it doesn't matter for Al Quaeda anymore since many years, and I do not care. If still alive, he is replaceable, even ignorable. For the immediate present (but not beyond), the death of Mullah Abdullah, probably the most capable commander of the Taleban in Afghanistan, is of more effective importance. But he too will be replaced soon.

That's the difficult thing when fighting ideas inside heads: killing fighters and commanders does not really matter.

Indeed, you kill one and there's a thousand others waiting to take their place, Bin is no different, although true, his death or capture would be a definate coup for the Allied forces, but one cannot fight ideas with guns.
