We DID get bin Laden. He's as dead as a doornail. Definitely deceased. Bleedin' demised!

This terrorist is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! A stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! His metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisibile!!

THIS IS AN EX-TERRORIST!!

It would be a piece of cake to release a video tape with some piece of evidence (Osama holding this month's MAD magazine or something equally easy) proving he's alive. And proving he's alive would be a major boost to his troops and a major blow to America. The Sept. 11 anniversary would have been a prime time to do this.

Extremely simple. But it isn't happening, is it? Hasn't happened, has it?

Every piece of "evidence" that he's alive to date has been fuzzy, without anything that positively places it in the current time frame. The organization is still there, with new leaders, and it has to be dealt with. But I think we can get over the "get bin Laden" fixations.
