Proof Bin Laden is Dead?

[Britbillsfan]

The reason Russia is suddenly 'backing' (more or less) the US position is solely due to Putin trying to use the war on international terror for his own agenda and so there will be less vocal opposition from where it ultimately counts (the US) as he slowly turns the screw in making Russia the personal fiefdom of himself and his ex-KGB cabal.

 

Latest plans to fight 'international terror' in Russia - Putin has the right to veto those running for democratic office. Putin's government makes it own plays for its own purpose. Still no evidence that any of the scum in Beslan were arabs, plenty of hostages have reportedly refuted the govenment's line on this......

 

As for bin Laden being dead. Quite possibly. Was ill before the war in Afghanistan and was hurt during it, however he will not be living 'in a cave' but somewhere with at least basic facilities so can not be certain (could be very ill / on his last legs and therefore not able to produce the 'heroic image' his followers would wish to see). al Zawaheri is not really much of the 'brains' either, that role has been filled in by a number of individuals (Mohammed Atef, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah being three caught or killed) that plan and organise al Qaeda operations. Such is the structure of al Qaeda that there appears that various 'field commanders' are responsible for the planning of terrorist attacks (so there are, effectively, many brains).

So the jerkwads at al Qaeda released another video today and, once again, Osama was 100% absent.

 

No proof of life in over a year.  No reason why. 

 

If you want an "October Surprise" it'll probably be some 'leak' or announcement that OBL is most likely worm food.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

 

There could me many reasons he has not appeared on tape. Being dead is only one of them.
