How Can Bin Laden STILL be alive?

[romantico]

Okay,back in mid 2001 he was on dialisis which means he's either being carried across the desert on a stretcher(which I would think MANY would notice)or he's walking around atached to some kind of equipment(the man is about 6'7)kinda of a hard thing too miss.

We have our intelligence + other foreign intelligence who I am sure would have spotted him by now.Even if they didn't, how long can he survive if his kidney was failing back in 2001?

I am begining to wonder if he's dead & either A) Bush & co.know it & are just trying to keep his name alive & will announce his death after the election or B)They have is body & ice.

Does any of this sound far fetched?I just can't imagine him STILL being alive!

1. He could've had a transplant

and if he does dialysis only several times a week, he doesn't need eq. attached.

2. my mom was on dialysis...

and I too find it hard to believe that this man could still be alive IF he is living in a cave somewhere or roaming the desert. Dialysis does not make you feel "normal"; it does not cleanse the blood as thoroughly as a kidney, and there are certain toxins that build up over time.

I do think that's a big "if", though.

3. if he's dead

don't you think Bush & co. know this.(?)I also find it odd that Bin Laden has hardly been mentioned since late 2001.2002 & 2003 have passed & Bush has barely uttered his name!

4. dead or alive

I think they know it and will use the information at the right time.

7. That's the big if

if he's dead you may never find him. He would have been buried somewhere in no man's land and it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Remember they still have found Jimmie Hoffa yet either.

5. Yeah I wonder too.......

dialysis patients are usually very,very sick even after a transplant. They require alot of monitoring, blood work, etc. With his money I suppose it could be possible but still, hard. And if he hasn't had a transplant and is still being dialyzed alot of equipment's involved. It ain't easy even in a hospital, let alone in a cave.

6. when the "discover" his body at the end of october

we gotta make sure someone checks it for freezer burn.

8. That's what I've been wondering!

There was the "fat Osama" video after 9-11, then a video where he was thin around December 2001. Then nothing but some supposed audio tapes after that. Wouldn't they at least send around a photo to show potential terrorist joiners that their big "hero" was still alive and kicking?

9. His doctor denied he was on dialisis

I remember in late 2001, a Pakistani doctor briefly popped up in the news claiming to be Bin Laden's doctor and also claiming he had no kidney problems.

Personally, I think Bin Laden's probably under rubble at Tora Bora.

10. No, he got a helicopter ride out of there

Seymour Hersch wrote about it and I indirectly know a special ops guy that was there. I heard the story about bin Laden's free ride months before the Hersch story came out.

11. Long Gone

He left for Asia long time ago If Osama is still in Tora Bora then he is stupid. Anyone here think this man is stupid?
