If she was wrong, it is still hard to imagine a very tall guy in advanced stages of renal failure dragging his dialysis machine up and down the mountains of Afghanistan.

I think he's dead. He's no longer prominent in the news. What happened to the big hunt ? Did they call it off ? Do they think Americans will just forget ? Probably as most Americans are too apathetic to care.

It has never mattered to me whether he was alive or dead since 9-11. He's had to live like a gopher and that had to be worse than death.

Exactly, he can be on the offensive when every day he is just trying to avoid capture.

And I recall a laughable video not too long ago with the weirdest attempt at an Osama clone. The one with the dark beard. Reading what has been posted on these pages makes me wonder exactly who did bring about 911. I can find myself considering possibilities presented from both sides. It was a seemingly simple plan, but was it, really ? Far fetched theories aren't so far fetched. There are cold blooded beings on this earth, and I put nothing past them. Nothing.

To the US "gubberment" he always was, I mean that they were "in bed" together and planned the horrific day which was 9/11/01.

Don't you notice how the US are looking for him but never find him? What a crock of BS.

Think of it from a strategic standpoint as naval warfare vs land warfare.
