A CNN story today, is reporting on U.S. and French officials denying any credibility to a report stating that Osama Bin Laden is dead. It almost seems to me that the ferociousness with which they are denying this seems out of all perspective. You'd think they would sound hopeful that this is actually true. But they don't. Could it be that they don't want the world at large to know Bin Laden is dead. Alive, he is a fear-stick they can wave at people and use as an excuse to continue the war on terror. Dead, he's a martyr, and everyone knows a martyr can often become more powerful than the living man he was.
There can be little doubt that Bin Laden was behind 9/11, he's admitted it himself in numerous broadcasts. Could it be that those benefitting from the hunt for Bin Laden would like to see it continue? Hopefully truly independent investigation will go into this issue so that we can all know what is really going on.

I used to wonder if Bush had bin Laden in a cave somewhere, just waiting for the right time. But when bin Laden's corpse didn't surface 2 weeks before the 2004 elections, I figured that he truly was a free man.
I think that Team Bush has to hope that the guy doesn't croak before they get him. Otherwise, their opponents will always be able to claim that they never would have caught him.
But at least we toppled Saddam, right?
Hahaha! So we supposedly did! Only fair I guess since we put him in power to counter the Soviets influence in Afghanistan.
