While I would rather it be that OBL is dead, I suspect that the folks in Pakistan are still keeping him out of harm's way because of his contacts in Saudi Arabia. The US poured tons of money into Pakistan (which was matched by Saudi religious zealots) to get rid of the Russians in Afganstan only to grow the Taliban to take their place.

I do not like to specualte, he could be anywhere the money and resources are there to enable this. I do think he is still alive, but without the control he once weilded.
In June this year, a combined spec for group, made up of , Delta, US Army SOU and the British SBS, was allegedly put together to hunt OBL down he was supposed to be in Northern Pakistan at the time.
I am trying to find out if this mission is still ongoing, and indeed if it was fact.Last edited by T_igger_cs_30; 26 Nov 08,, 08:53.sigpicFEAR NAUGHT
Should raw analytical data ever be passed to policy makers?

I still think he is dead though.Nulli Secundus
People always talk of dying for their country, and never of making the other bastard die for his

In my opinion, A cave in Pakistan (the 'tribal' section) - we cant go get him there, the government of Pakistan would most likely hand him over, but not the common folk, so he's safe... I would hope the someday he gets a very quiet trial here in the states followed by a lifetime membership at a supermax prison - If he isn't nabbed at some point, he could surface again with another target.... this guy has proven that he is very patient (8 years between the tower attacks).

Can't prove it. On the other hand, there is absolutely no proof he is alive.
Go figure.
