Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Bin Laden claims plane bombing bid

Well he has been on the run for a long time. With all the money and the most advanced military machine in the world, and the best trained as well, the US can not even get him.

Bin Laden has probably been dead for years. I just can't believe all this middle eastern propaganda I keep seeing everywhere. What's next? Al qaeda bombs the Mars rover?

How about we all write a letter to Bush to coax him out of retirement, send him off to afghanistan with cheney's rifle so he can finish what he started & get his "trophy"?

He would probably prefer a horse and twin revolvers

Frankly, I don't think there is much left of an organized Al-Qaeda, it is a chaotic mess of independent nuts who don't know what to do with their lives and hate being nobodies. Whenever a toilet is clogged somewhere on the planet, Bin Laden and his ridiculous fellows come crawling out of their holes and publish a video proudly claiming it was them.

To me, the bounty on his head is the impressive part...

Most advanced military in the world means nothing when it's combined with politics...

I think they are running out of competent jihadists who are willing to die to further their ideology. Many of the failed attempted attacks seem to be poorly planned and carried out by freaking morons. I also have a feeling (no proof of coarse) that OBL is not in good health but may be being well taken care of in a private home somewhere in Yemen. He is not dead yet and not living in a cave. Just my opinion.
