Is Osama Bin Laden dead?

Think about it. When was the last time anyone heard or saw anything that would indicate he was still alive? Some think he was killed during the massive bombing at Tora Bora. His body might be buried at the back of some unknown cave there. If he was alive why haven't we seen any video tapes from him. It is to Al Qaeda's advantage to pretend he is still alive so if they knew he was dead they wouldn't let that news out. I've thought about this for a bit and I think the White House was told that he was likely dead but could not be proven. If that is true then hunting for him would be a waste of time and that would help to understand why we turned our focus on Iraq. There is much you and I do not know. We are not on the, need to know, list for that kind of information. I think we can assume that Bush knew what he was doing because he was advised by the generals and even if you think him an idiot you certainly can't think our military is too. I think that until proven otherwise we can safely assume that OBL is dead and when you do that a whole lot of things become clearer. Namely the war in Iraq being the next logical step to take in the war on terror after dealing with OBL. Makes sense to me.
