Osama bin dead…

…since probably 2001, according to photographic evidence that his 37-second appearance in the latest Dr. Zawahiri video is taken from video shot then. Else, as Instapundit says, why not shoot a new video of him? Debka, meanwhile, says special ops and the Pakis are closing in on his hideout, and the US Senate’s recent raising of the price on his head to $50 million was requested by Pakistan president Musharraf to help pay the tribes which are turning the O man in. Ali  Eteraz likewise has an interesting theory. Me, I think he’s been sleeping with the worms since Tora Bora. Al Q has/can run without him.

    It was a pain in the ass signing in and that, but after all your nagging, I felt like I had to do it.
    Besides, I needed to say: Killing Osama is going to do no more toward stopping terrorism than killing Pablo Escobar did toward stopping cocaine smuggling.
    I mean, yeah, kill the guy, for sure. But don’t imagine it’ll be like in the old cowboy movies where the Indians quit when you kill the chief.
    That didn’t really happen often back then, still won’t.

    Yep, you had to do it, and I’m glad you did. I agree that Osama is, at best, a figurehead. The cause is greater than the man. Besides, I think he’s already dead.
