Somewhere in the lawless realm that straddles the border of Pakistan and Afganistan, and which is moving perilously closer to the Pakistani capital these days, terrorist Osama bin Laden, whose attacks on the United States nearly eight years ago provoked the U.S.-led invasion of Aghanistan, is believed to be in hiding.
Where is he?
"You lost him... I didn't,'' says Asif Ali Zadari, president of Pakistan, in an apperance on NBC News' Meet the Press.
Is he looking for him?
"The whole world is looking.''
Is bin Laden still alive?
"I don't think he's alive.''
He talked about the Taliban and more.

A guy doesn't show his face for seven years and people still wonder about him? If he was alive, you can bet the terrorists would be parading him on Arab TV and all of its clones in American media.

What good would it do to catch Osama? Would it make any difference?
There's millions and millions of peace loving, bloodthirsty Muslim terrorists to take his place.
If the Muslims wanted to be taken in a different light they could do a house cleaning of their own community. THEY should take ownership of their situation.

Dubya had more than 7 years to find Bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks. He was too busy, however, setting a personal score with Saddam Hussein, lying about WMDs, cooking intelligence and torturing Afghani dirt farmers to bother to look for Osama. Bush even said he "didn't spend a lot of time thinking about" Bin Laden. I bet the families of the victims of the 9/11 attack didn't forget so easily. Now Bin Laden is either dead or at large, and Bush and his team are working on creating a false narrative of Bush's "legacy".
There has never been a more abject failure of a president than G. W. Bush, the supreme-court appointed ne'er-do-well who sunk the world economy, ignored science and did severe damage to our country's reputation in the world.

Tim, I think it's called justice.
