Watching “America at the Crossroads” on PBS last night, made me think that Osama bin Laden is intentionally kept “alive” by the Bush Administration to justify the so-called "war on terror". I'm convinced that bin Laden is dead. The man was too media savvy for totally vanishing from sight.
The last credible filmed document of Osama showed him laboriously hiking down a hill somewhere in the Hindu Kush mountains. Since that time, we haven’t seen any video of him which authenticity was not questioned by some research institutes or some media celebrities of the Walter Cronkite caliber. If he's indeed dead, was he killed in the Tora-Bora tunnels or did he die from his kidney condition or typhoid fever?
With Osama and his petro-dollars gone, al-Qaeda, has become an empty shell and a vacated brand; the energy and the money have now shifted to support the Sunnis and the Shiites civil war in Iraq. That’s were the action is at moment and is likely to stay for a while. What we’re now witnessing is a proxy war mainly supported by the Saudi and the Iranians.
