UBLs kidney problem: curable with a transplant?
Four years ago we were told that UBL was having dialysis for end stage renal disease- this made it seem implausible that he was running from cave to cave in the desert. It also seems implausible that he would still be around to make news if he were still that sick.

Does anyone know if his condition would have been reversible/curable with a kidney transplant?

1. I believe that was just a rumor.

2. Even if he had a transplant he would require medical attention
very rarely is a transplant accomplished without on-going medical care or oversight by a doctor.
And living in mere caves would not be conducive to someone with a life threatening condition.

3. A cave with the door open?
OBL, as a concept, becomes more implausible by the day. Does he really exist? Is this tape really anything new?

Why wouldn't we be able to catch him, since we trained him, and he is supposedly hiding in a country that is our "ally" in the War on Terra? And when so many of his family members are friends with our current administration?

4. Maybe the Bush regime found him a kidney and paid for the transplant.
After all, Bush takes care of his valuable employees.
