It seems that that the report in the French news paper indicating typhoid may have killed OBL, was not substantiated. In order to fulfill the role of the mahdi (divinely guided one) of Islamic eschatologic prophecy, he must escape death. OBL is not dead, yet.
I think that Osama is in Qom, Iran, the same place as Iran's Supreme's Leader Sayyid Ali Khamenei. Remember Osama wants to bridge the gap between Sunni and Shia. The US has some control over the Musharraf government in Pakistan but not over Iran. That makes Iran the safest place for Osama. Qom and Mashad have important Muslim shrines so they are the safest cities in Iran for Osama. The Wali al Asr was hidden at Masjid Jamkaran in Qom. It would be the perfect place for Osama.
Even if the US or its allies take military action against the underground nuclear research facility at Natanz, the heavy water nuclear facility at Arak and the nuclear power plant at Bushehr, there will be no attack against the holy shrines in Qom and Mashad.

No way, Pakistan could get Osma if they wanted to. It's all for political show for Bush. Bush has countless contacts with the Bin Laden family. Proof of phone records and meetings exsist. I think there is a deal. Bush, Pakistan and Osma are all in on it. It is us Americans who lose here.

Yes, Musharraf (spelling) is serious. He is in a very dangerous situation because of the numerous terrorist groups that are so prevalent in Pakistan so he has to publicly straddle the fence. They have helped us many times, especially in the information aspect of the terrorists. I think he is a very brave man.

I think there are factions that are serious in dealing with al Qaeda. (Pakistanis are not all that fond of Arabs, and a Qaeda is largely Arab.)
It's wise to remember that Islamic Pakistan supported the Taliban, however, and there are still strong pro-Taliban elements in Pakistan.

They are playing the political game just like everyone else. They are better off with the US on their side even though the citizens don't like it.
