Bin Ladin has been dead for years. It is valuable to the political goals of Al Qaida, Al Zawarhiri (in particular), Iran AND the West (and the press, of course) to maintain the charade that he is alive, so they do. Remember that he was a publicity hound, and that his ego would force him to get recognition. If Bin Ladin IS alive, and wants to be recognized as such, why not make a video of, say, just his head against a white sheet background (how could that betray his location?), and comment on the Gaza bombing, Obama's election, etc., (some current situation), which would provide proof positive that he IS alive? Unless you see that (and you won't), realize that he is dead. Find Zawarhiri though, and kill him.

Imagine when the jihadi "martyrs" get to "paradise" and find that it's not 70 eighteen year-old virgins they each get, but 18 seventy year-olds they all have to share, and the "virgin" part ain't exactly true, either! The BEST thing about the "virgins" is that, between them, they do have ONE full set of TEETH!
