I believe he is alive. I know Benazir Bhutto told David Frost on al-Jazeera (11/2/07) that he is dead. The most recent outside news confirming this comes from Pakistan's The News where on 7/21 Rahimullah Yousafzai, the only reporter to interview OBL, Mullah Omar and al-Zawahiri, more than once, writes of OBL in the present tense. He has excellent jihadi and intel contacts.

On 6/3/09, on the eve of Obama's trip to Saudi Arabia, al Qaeda issued an OBL audio tape, which experts like Richard Clarke claim is valid.

His most recent video was 9/7/07. If you recall, in this one his beard was jet black. I didn't think at the time that he, a Wahhabi, most interested in jihad, would dye his beard to look younger. I have since been around Wahhabi fighters and have seen their vanity, their dyed beards; some men with young wives, like OBL, don't want to look old. He was 52 on March 10.

Al Qaeda has issued more than 60 messages since 9/11.
-----------------------------------------------

bin laden has dyed his beard BLACK? Why does he keep changing his appearance, he was such a good looking guy? Why does he isolate himself from the world, and surround himself with enablers? Sometimes I worry about that boy, is he dead or alive? All I know is, he is the greatest Batman villain of all time, and STILL unchained and dangerous.

1. I'm still waiting to see footage of the hi-tech supervillain's lair

we were told exists at Tora Bora.

It was in the newspapers so it must be true.

2. He's about as alive as Julius Caesar......

A 7-foot tall aging man on dialysis is THAT hard to find? Puh-leaze.

3. Let's see here,

It's not only Bhutto who believes that bin Laden is dead, but also Pakistan president Musharraf, Afghan president Karzai, not to mention members of the FBI <http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/2135473.stm>
and both the French and Israeli intelligence services, all believe that bin Laden is dead.

After all, we're talking about a man who is in poor health, who needs regular dialysis treatments. How do you think he's been getting those up in the mountains, with no electricity.

Nor is it simply a matter of dying his beard. It is a matter of how suddenly this new "bin Laden" is fleshed out and healthy, not the gaunt bin Laden we saw in the Dec. 27,2001 video, not to mention that unlike that earlier versions, where bin Laden could barely move the left side of his body, the new "bin Laden" has full range of movement.

Bin Laden is dead, long time gone. He's being kept alive by those in power to act as both an excuse to continue our illegal wars and to keep the people in this country scared. Wake up and stop being played.

4. If bin Laden is still alive, his miraculous recovery must be shared with

the rest of the world
