That if *we're* not hearing anything about him... maybe *He* isn't either? That maybe he will (if he's even still alive) relax a bit and come out where we can grab him? *PERHAPS* someone finally got a clue and simply kicked the media out of a critical operation, so they can't screw it up!
Thoughts?

I don't think they are waiting, g. IF the man is still alive.

"Oh wow, I haven't heard my name mentioned on US TV in 6 months, that must mean it's okay for me to come out now! Never mind these 50,000 US troops stationed in my backyard!"
No one is that dumb. And I don't believe she was saying he was/is that dumb. And the troops that are looking for him *do* have practice at being stealthy. Damn Media effs up stealth every time... She's right. We need to get the friggen media out of the way and let the soldiers do their job.

The Middle East is a very vast area with many hiding places - and Bin Laden is but one man with a lot of supporters.
He could well be dead - that's just speculation. But what isn't speculation is that if he is alive, he's not sucking up Pina Coladas on some isolated beach in the tropics - and that's what I'd be doing if I had his dough.

Bin Laden is dead and has been dead for some time. THAT'S why we're not hearing anything from him.
Even before the US attacked he was in poor health and needed professional medical care for his kidney condition.
But it's useful for both sides to maintain the fiction that he's still alive. AQ and other Islamic extremists consider him a hero, and the US uses him as a tool of fear.
But let's assume that he is still alive. Do you REALLY think that a man who is aware that he's US Public Enemy #1 would just "relax" and "let down his guard" if he didn't hear any news reports? Do you REALLY think he pays that much attention to daily US civilian news reports anyway?
"Oh wow, I haven't heard my name mentioned on US TV in 6 months, that must mean it's okay for me to come out now! Never mind these 50,000 US troops stationed in my backyard!"
I don't think you thought this one through.

The Bin ladens are Bushes business partners.
We need to kick Bush and Cheney out of a critical operation. Al queda has South American operations and Bush is pushing for Amnesty and Mexican truck crossings.
Bush has declared war on the U.S. citizens and invited the terrorists into our country especially financial terrorists
I filled RICO in Federal court against a known criminal Roland Arnall who 49 states attorney generals found guilty of defrauding 750,000 U.S. citizens and Bush gave him diplomatic immunity in exchange for 12 million in illegal donations.
While he distracted us with the Iraq invasion he installed a facist dictatorship in the U.S. just like his grandfather did in Germany through Hitler. Why take the strong man Hussein installed by Bush senior out of Iraq while we were after Bin Laden also installed by Bush senior in Afghanistan or perhaps Pakistan? Is this about seizing control and teritory or stopping terrorism. Uranium from Niger, WMD where are they? With the civil war we created in Iraq it's now a terrorist breeding ground.
Kelo V New London has taken away our right to private property and the Patriot act has taken away the right to do anything about it.
Really would you get on a plane with a turban and a machine gun or would you set up shop in Mexico , Central and south America and dress up like a Mexican picking strawberries.
If anyone with half a brain really believed America was under attack they would send troops to the southern border and string barb wire within days. Why the massive explosion of corporate fraud by Bushes friends and business partners?
Now he's parking our aircraft carriers in front of Iran which probably has sunburn missles which can take out our aircraft carriers and picking a fight with the Russians, Chinese, and Iranians yet doing nothing about the very real Mexican/south American reconquista invasion?

er... and we'll just take the risk that he may attack again?
pretty stupid gamble if you ask me...
and then you blame it on the MEDIA... with no evidence of ANYTHING what so ever... besides the "everything is the media's fault" mindset of conservatives?
Osama's killed more Americans on American soil than Iraq or Iran... yet we focus on Iraq and Iran...
can you MAYBE present ANY EVIDENCE to support your idea... other than your own personal bias...
Osama is bigger than your or my biases... I want to focus everyone on getting him... no excuses... NO WAITING...
EDIT: YOU DON'T THINK.... I don't see several hundred thousand troops rushing in to find him... and I think the media would notice that... and that's what I am looking for...
we "didn't think" he could pull off 9-11... I'm tired of "thinking" and playing the "if he's still alive" game...
"if" he attacks again... I'll be sure to remind you how wierd it is that he's apparently still alive...
I learned my lesson in the 90s personally...

He has never been worried about being found, his family is rich and powerful in the oil so I think that he will not be found ever unless he dies and even then he will become a symbol for terrorist around the world to continue

I agree. I think that we do not need to know absolutely everything before it happens...kinda takes out the element of surprise.
Let's seeeee..
Liberal media...liberals do not want Bin Laden catch while a Republican is in office (that way they can not take all the credit)...Too much media allows those we seek to know too many details..
coincidence? I think not

Well, it's been 6 years, just how long should we wait and how long does it take?
I guarantee you that if Eisenhower were still alive and President, he would have been hunted down and killed within 6 months.
George has ADD and can't sharpen a pencil without getting distracted.
When is George going to start accepting responsibility like Truman (The Buck Stops Here)
and stop whining like Nixon.
Show some presidential courage George!

Just think he is like an animal, he lives in a dirt hole and thinks it is great.
I say close up all the cave openings and let him die a slow death.

No. It's a bigger, smarter organization than that.
