Laden is a religious fanatic and believes he will go to heaven and have 100 virgins - whatever it is they believe.

If they are really close to him now, I think they will find a dead body.

All they'll do is pull his body out of the freezer.

3. I'd love to see a trial
...with bin Laden singing like a little birdie about the Bush family, starting with the crap daddy Bush pulled when he was the head of the CIA.

Of course, the Bush family would invoke all the worst parts of the Patriot Act and deny us the spectacle, citing "national security," the last refuge of men who want to shut their enemies up.

4. They will capture Saddam but not until the proper time
It'll have to be when Bush's ratings are really low and not to soon before the election because the effect might wear off too soon.

6. What would be funny...
is if a French troop found him first, played it on the media around the world, and only THEN, after everybody knows the truth of who caught him alive, hand him over to the US. :evilgrin:

Afghanistan is a NATO operation there. I believe the french do have troops there.

5. He'll most likely die of kidney failure first.
he's reportedly got a dialisys machine in his cave. I bet he dies of that before we find him.

7. Dialisys machine needs electricity....
even a huge battery to run on. There's no electricity up in those remote mountains. The dialisys stuff is a lie.

9. It's tough to imagine...
.. a situation where he'd be taken alive.... but then again.. stranger things have happened...

Maybe on the off chance they burst into a safe house or something and caught him in dead sleep.. which is so unlikely because of the 24/7 guard he is sure to have around him at all times...

Either that or when the chips finally fall, suddenly he soils his robe with the only bit of 'jihad' he's got left and changes his mind..

I have heard that his closest guards have orders to shoot him themselves if he is about to be caught, not sure if that's true...

Heyo
