I'm sick of this bin Laden bullshit, is he dead or alive, guilty or not, a threat or not?

[Philosoraptor]

I wish the hell we could get a straight answer about the most wanted man on earth, or is he? All we get is bullshit audio recordings that are deemed real or unknown by our so called central intelligence agency, while the f.b.i. says there was never a legal case made against OBL, and the occasional headline stating the possible existence of the terrorist specter.

I've heard all the official explanations, I've heard all the speculations, rumors, sightings, theories and opinions on the status and whereabouts of the most famous boogy man ever, and something stinks, and I wish someone, somewhere and sometime soon can give us a straight answer since the 10 year anniversary of nine eleven is coming up, and they're gonna milk it for everything it's worth.

Come on Pentagon people, find him or shut the fuck up about him.

1. But, but, but

I just posted this: NATO official: Bin Laden, deputy hiding in northwest Pakistan.

[TBF]

2. Benazir Bhutto claimed he was already dead -

just before she was assassinated.

It doesn't matter whether he's dead or alive to TPTB. If they didn't already have him they'd have to create him - he's the perfect bogeyman for them to chase after while they are ostensibly guarding our "resources" abroad.

[txlibdem]

4. +1 if there were no bogeyman they'd just create one

Maybe the tin foil hatters are more correct than we give them credit for. It sure is convenient that we keep trying "so hard" to catch that guy that keeps making videos and putting them on the internet. But we "just keep missing him" and he "just keeps slipping out of our fingers." Gosh, that guy is crafty...

[bdamomma]

9. yes, didn't she say that on that interview with David Frost.

even if he's dead there are many more to replace him.

[stray cat]

3. Come to DU for uninformed answers or opinions - there may not be an informed answer

Because the facts and future are not known

[Catshrink]

12. Hello - DU is a discussion board.

Sorry to disappoint you but if you want 100% reliable news, you really have to look at multiple sources.

:crazy:

[stray cat]

5. When will the economy improve? Is that an unknown or a secret?

[Catshrink]

10. Off topic

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

25. No, that's not a secret at all.

The economy will improve when this country finally abandons the failed policies of the last 30 years, and restores all the FDR era reforms which allowed this country decades of prosperity.

6. It gets rolled out occasionally to excite the masses. Here we are just before an

election and it's rolled out again. I view it as propaganda to serve up one of the supposed reasons for the usefulness of these endless wars and the horrific amount of money spent and lives lots on both sides, many innocently.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

7. He is dead

You can take My word for that.

[NightWatcher]

8. he's an Excuse To Invade...Afghan, Iraq, Pakistan (soon)

[closeupready]

11. Dead.

n/t

[treestar]

13. Maybe it is not easy to figure out

Like an unsolvable murder case. Complaining about it does no good, especially when you're waiting for someone else to do a job.

[Forkboy]

14. Deader than corduroy.

[HopeHoops]

15. Isn't it funny how his name ALWAYS shows up right before an election - BOOGA! BOOGA!

Be VEEEERRRRRRYYY AFRAID!

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

16. Roger Creasy just said he is "living comfortably in a house in NW Pakistan"

[Terry in Austin]

22. I'd heard he got married and moved to Scarsdale -nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. 1. Dead 2. Guilty 3. Not a threat

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. He lives in the Bogeyman Closet at the Pentagon. Code named "Funding".

[MadHound]

19. He's dead Jim,

Many people who should be in the know have confirmed this over the years. Bhutto, Kharzi and others.

But as long as nobody produces a body, the US is free to use him as a reason for our ongoing illegal, immoral wars.

[hunter]

20. He and Dick Cheney are hanging out in the bunker plugged into the same outlet.

"How's the kidney, this morning, Oz?"

"Fine, Dick. How's the heart?"

"Fine. Care for a Bloody Mary?"

"Bwahahaha. You crack me up, Dick."

[Terry in Austin]

21. Hey, Pentagon

Boo!

Yours truly,

The Bogeyman

:evilgrin:

[Historic NY]

23. Ask the US chamber of commerce.

[DirkGently]

24. I heard he's under a big rock in the next country Halliburton wants to invade.
