Why do people on here say Osama bin Laden is dead? Will you give a source or link if you believe that?

Question

The last I heard, he just wasn't one of GWB's top priorities...

Bob--Does that make sense to you?

MrOrph--It's not a speculation, but it is a quote by Mr. G.W. Bush... I'll post it in a sec

"So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you. I'm more worried about making sure that our soldiers are well-supplied; that the strategy is clear; that the coalition is strong; that when we find enemy bunched up like we did in Shahikot Mountains, that the military has all the support it needs to go in and do the job, which they did."

Q But don't you believe that the threat that bin Laden posed won't truly be eliminated until he is found either dead or alive?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run. I was concerned about him, when he had taken over a country. I was concerned about the fact that he was basically running Afghanistan and calling the shots for the Taliban.

Answer 1

What kind of link would prove that OBL is buried under a mountain of rock? Considering there is no real proof that OBL is alive for the last 4 years, how long does it take to consider he is dead?

Answer 2

You've been listening to too much LIEberal media. Bin Laden was killed while hiding inn his cave in the Tora Bora mountains when we bombed the crap out of that mountain range. He hasn't shown his face sense then. I know you're going to say something about the videos and audio recordings but the audio recordings could have been Bin Ladens son which is said to favor him and sound just like him. The video tapes for the most part were old tapes. I've studied them and they made in look younger and that last video of him was easily seen as a very poor make up job. The Al-Qeada aren't very good at make up. Sorry but until someone comes up with a viable picture or the man himself, I will keep believing in my heart that that SOB is dead.

Answer 3

There have be conflicting reports but most amount to rumors.

I don't know if he is, but I believe he probably is. He wouldn't be this quiet for this long.

I think he is a large priority on Bush's list and I don't really know why you would speculate that is wasn't.

Answer 4

He just came out with another video recently. That is kind of hard to do when he is dead. He has made reference to recent events in his released videos which indicate that they were not made a long time ago. He is (at least when the last video was made) still alive. It is very possible for him to die and the world never know about it. However, there is no evidence to suggest that he is dead right now.

Answer 5

He's not dead. you're right.

And the same man who vowed to hunt down the people responsible for the attacks on 9-11... now pretty much "doesn't spend much time on him..."

Bin Laden is getting away with 9-11... because George W Bush has personal business with Iraq...

Answer 6

There isn't much available evidence to him being alive either. No matter what you believe, his influence certainly seems to have waned.

Answer 7

I know he is dead because i am Psychic and have talked to him in a seance, i did not even know i was psychic until my Ex-Wife told me i was, oh I am s sorry just disregard all that stuff she said Psycho and i get confused easily.

Answer 8

they know this. last time he was at the bush ranch getting cash, they gave him so much he died of a hernia trying to lift it.

Answer 9

Those pesky video tapes he keeps putting out would seem to disprove that theory.

Answer 10

It's speculation because of his history of health problems. I haven't heard of any real evidence that he's dead.
