Do you think Bin Laden is dead or alive?

Answer 1

Here is something you probably haven't considered before:

As evidenced by his deafening silence of late, Osama Bin Laden is probably physically, if not mentally, incapacitated. In his last video, he moves only 3-1/2 minutes; the rest is a still image. I don't think he's even lucid most of the time. I think the last attack physically devastated him, and his mind is going.

Now, that's a good thing for the Western world. With a figurehead at the helm of the terrorist movement, nothing dynamic can be carried out. They can't insult Bin Laden by having someone else take control. It would be like Christians telling the Pope he's yesterday's news.

With a trapped and crippled Bin Laden, they probably even haven't tried to plan another attack on U.S. soil.

Here's one thing we do know: Bin Laden has instructed his protectors to kill him, rather than let him be captured, if an assault is ever waged against their hiding place. I believe we've known where Bin Laden is for at least four years. However, we are patiently biding our time for that one, elusive opportunity (such as a celebration, or some change in their routine) to capture him alive.

The U.S. has surveillance techniques that have never even been publicly advertised. We know that the U.S. has satellites that can read a license plate from orbit; I find it difficult to believe we haven't actually found OBL. Speaking of secret surveillance techniques, I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. has even devised a way to "chemically tag" OBL, or get a transmitter into his camp. There are transmitters a third the size of a watch battery. It could be anywhere. He might have even swallowed one. (remember all the crazy ways the CIA had to kill Castro? Imagine how much more advanced the surveillance techniques are now, forty years later!)

OBL is getting the justice he deserves. He's forced to live in hardship, practically without companionship. He has scant entertainment, and I doubt they're shuttling any "comfort women" to keep him from being lonely.

In due time, we'll nab him. I firmly believe he's ours for the taking. We just want him alive.

Answer 2

Personally I think he's alive. I also believe he was/is hiding in China or Russia, China more likely. If he were dead, and western authorities had any evidence, they'd show it. If he were dead and the Pakistanis or Aphganis had any evidence, they'd hand it over. Bin Laden has serious health issues. So serious I doubt that staying in mountain regions of Pakistan was much of an option, not exactly an area known to have the best health care. I almost completely discount him hiding in Russia because the Russians need our help too much in exploiting Siberia. Pissing us off that much would seriously jeopardize Russia's economic growth. But can't totally rule it out. Hiding in China becomes the most logical choice. Good enough health care to keep Bin Laden alive. China is not a western ally. China has strong diplomatic and economic ties with several rogue and anti-western nations. He might be healthy enough to have returned to Pakistan.

Answer 3

He is alive. So much for that hunt for the mastermind of 9/11. Did not Bush stand on top of the wreckage of 9/11 and swear that we will not stop until Bin Laden was captured. So much for that speech.

Answer 4

Bin Laden is dead, but his main competitor in terrorist business George W. Bush is alive and well.

Answer 5

He is probably dead.
If there is a video message like recently, someone is faking it or a person got a facial surgery to get his look like Bin Laden.
They have to make his followers believe that he is alive. Otherwise they will be demoralize. Check out the Russell Crew's master and commander the far side of the world movie. The French warships their captain been dead but maintain that he still alive so the crew not get demoralize.

Answer 6

Alive but hardlyu as effective. Dead man walking for sure Offer a Billion and he is dead by Noon today.

Answer 7

Dead. And I thnk the videos are fake. OBL is basically the Emauel Goldstein of Orwell's 1984.
Bush uses him for the 5 minutes Hate - to shore up support for Bush's war in Iraq and Bush's war on American civil rights.

Answer 8

Alive

Answer 9

He is dead. How many Doubles did Saddam have? He was killed in Bora Bora, body is buried under a rock in Afghanistan. Al Zwaui (sp) knows that he needs Bin Laden for support and generated the videos to garner that support because he is losing his jihad to a bunch of infidels.

Answer 10

i think of he's lifeless! Why could they lie, understanding that it's going to piss Al Qaeda off, exceedingly, coming up a extensive possibility of a fear attack. There could be no element in them mendacity fairly. you assert, to calm the persons so as that they weren't scared. terrified of what precisely?? It wasn't like there grow to be some extensive element taking place on the 2d like some tale interior the information the week formerly like 'Osama plans to explode international with 5 nuclear bombs' or something. the persons have had no longer something to be terrified of for years, because of the fact they hadn't heard something from him in years and approximately 0.5 of persons had already assumed he grow to be lifeless. no one grow to be scared adequate as you're making out, to warrant this type of huge lie. they're additionally questioning by way of whether to launch the photos or pictures. because of the fact think of approximately it, those people making a music outdoors the whitehouse have already glorified his demise adequate, that could have pissed off al qaeda. are you able to think of in the event that they launch pictures how plenty greater glorifying this is going to look, and you in simple terms comprehend some bloody idiots will p.c. to burn the pictures on the streets or like use it as a dartboard or some thing dumb, which will annoy al qaeda much greater. Obv through entire element. Al qaeda will plan some thing, however the plan could get greater depending on how plenty we annoy them contained in here few weeks/months. To be common, Osama grow to be a unfavourable guy who deserved to die for all the soreness he led to, and on an identical time as his demise could convey exhilaration to people and convey convenience and closure to kinfolk of 9/11, 7/7 and the different assaults via him, his killing ought to finally finally end up inflicting greater worry that it grow to be properly worth. There could have been no element in mendacity.
