do we have any clue where osama iz?

[PicoFulp]

iv'e just always wantd to know...we went crazy after the capture of sadaam but...has bin ladin been forgotton?

[EveryDamnNameIsTaken]

I haven't heard any news of it recently, but if the people looking for him display as much intelligence as you did in the first post, we'll probably never find him.

[sdhonda]

I doubt we will find him alive at this point, unless there is a dramitic intel leak or something, then no.

I think he is in Iran. He probably snuck in there while going around the pakistan/afgan border, and is being hidden by some cleric or fundamentalist group inside Iran.

[eyeknowstuff]

He could be dead for all I care. Catching him won't do much for us at this point. It might give the troops and bit of a morale boost and give Bush a +2% in his approval ratings but other than that it won't stop terrorism. It won't stop Iran's nuclear weapons program. I won't stop religious fanatics. I won't stop muslims from hating jews. We can take Osama and rip him into 10000 pieces and scatter him on the moon but his spirit lives on in every single anti-Westerner terrorist in mid-east.

[SolInvictus]

i think hes become too much bother for the government so they removed him from the media and presto no one cares anymore and they don't have to give a shit

[Dilapsor]

Though it's unlikely, I would hope he would at least visit Iraq since we've spent so much money and blood giving it to folks just like him.

It's impossible to know. If the Government has any idea, they wouldn't let it out for security reasons.

You've hit the nail on the head sir.
You win a free internet and my own personal "Hurrah!"

[Rukaii]

Heh, didn't you know -- Osama is at the White House right now drinking tea with George Bush.

[Jinzoa]

The only way we will ever know he is alive is if he gives us another video tape of himself recording from his moms basement.

[Arauthator]

LOL that was funny. Only problem is, he isn't in his moms basement since I have her nose and ears in my backpack along with pictures of the dust that now lays on top of the roof where her house use to sit.

Actually, I'm inclined to agree with you on this one. It's been what, over a year since he last sent one of those tapes to Al Jazeera? Before that we heard from him like every two months... if the guy was still alive, wouldn't he at least give us a clue?

Or, depending on the interpretation of the Koran, 72 crystal-clear rasins. I remember Robin Williams once said "you'd think it would be easy to find a 6 foot 5 inch tall Arab who is on dialysis (sp?)". Apparently that isnt so. He's probaly drastically changed his image, which is why we dont get video tapes from him anymore (we still get audio tho).

Sorry, I don't see the point in blowing myself into microscopic particles so I can have a handfull of raisins I can't eat for the rest of eternity.

But then again, 72 virgins? Wouldn't they all wind up being old decrepit Catholic Nuns?

We haven't gotten an audio tape from Osama Bin Laden in over a year, unless I'm mistaken.

[Draconias]

According to military reports, Osama's last movements were tracked into the mountains along the border of Pakistan and Afhanistan. The military almost nailed him on the border of Pakistan, but a corrupt Pakistani general allowed him and hundreds of his followers to escape into Pakistan. He was almost killed again during a raid several months ago in Pakistan, but officially the US military is not allowed inside Pakistan.

His troops are still holed up in the mountain ranges along the border, mostly in the Pakistani side, and quite a few have moved to nearby towns, but Osama has not been spotted since a missile smacked right into a hideout he was using. His death was not confirmed in the blast, but he hasn't been seen or otherwise heard from since.

It is not known whether the primary part of his organization escaped through Pakistan, since much of the government and military of Pakistan is attempting to help the US, but the country itself is in a state of near-chaos and unable to provide unified assistance. Osama and his soldiers have been effectively eliminated, at least for the forseeable future.

I never said you couldn't eat them, just that they were crystal-clear. :)

*shudder. I'd rather not think about that. Minus the fact they wouldnt be catholic, seeing as its Islam...

I dunno, but its been even longer since we've gotten a video of him.

Don't forget, they're everlasting Virgins. They're supposed to become Virgins again after every time.

Yeah, what a civilized, sophisticated heaven... just a bunch of old brutish men fucking virgins for eternity. That's sure respectable.... not.

By the way, what is their heaven for Women? 72 Virgin women? That would suck for heterosexuals.

[Montgomery-Scott]

well, considering that we just used our laser guided rocket technology to vaporise a house where Osama's second in command, Zarcaqui was not eating dinner, or even in the vicinity of, no, we don't know where osama is, or else we woudl be destroying places where he isn't.

[FightingForFreedom]

Its quite obvious that the idea that Pakistan is "hiding" Osama Bin-Laden is fictitious and stupid. President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan would be MORE than happy to hand over Bin-Laden to us - in fact he told 60 Minutes that if they did find Osama, that he would secretly escort him over the Pakistani border. Think about it. If either Musharraf or Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz could find a bargaining chip for purchasing enriched plutonium for nuclear weapons don't you think that would?

[Buckdich]

Osama is most likely hiding within the Tribal Regions of Pakistan where he is immensly popular and the locals are immensly violent.

If he is still alive...

However at this point in time, Osama bin Laden has all ready accomplished his mission, bringing a jihad upon America.

The only good that would come of his capture or killing would be that of a Propaganda victory, giving people a hope that Terrorism is being defeated and breathing in a bit of life into the Pro-War effort against Terrorism.

So does it matter?
Little I say...

But as we know, people who only watch news on TV like to believe in what we call stupid.
There are still a whole lot of people who think Saddam was responsible for 9/11 for fucks sake.

Do you see any of them here?

Have you met anyone in real life recently who believes that?

I've got a better question for you... have they updated that USA Today poll yet? I mean it's only been three years since it came out.

[T-H]

They really should put some sort of age limit on the politics forum...
