'Osama alive and well'
2007-08-23
A top Taliban commander has said Al Qaeda mastermind Osama Bin Laden is alive and well, according to US-based analysts monitoring extremist publications. “All praise be to Allah, he is extremely healthy and active,” the commander Mansour Dadullah said in a video interview released Tuesday by analyst IntelCenter.
"I'm okay, too! They missed me! That was another Mullah Deadullah they got!"
Dadullah said Bin Laden, the man blamed for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, had contacted him. “I received a message from him in which he advised me to follow Mullah Dadullah and continue the same activities so that the mujahedeen may not weaken,” he said, according to the transcript.

The video is dated June 15, 2007, IntelCenter added. Bin Laden, who has a $50 million US bounty on his head, has appeared in a series of video and audio clips since the 9/11 attacks but has not been heard from since May 2006, when the CIA authenticated a voice recording on the Internet as his. In the recording, which was accompanied by an online text, the terror network chief said Zacarias Moussaoui, a 37-year-old Frenchman of Moroccan origin and the only man convicted in the 9/11 attacks, had nothing to do with the operation.

#7  I've always believed he reached 2000+ degrees at Tora Bora. Maybe if they'd been quick with the sponges, they could have gotten some of him off the rocks and filled a thimble.

But I doubt even the worms and bugs and found much to eat.

#3  Time for Osama to "leave the building".

I totally refuse to believe that this rutbag media whore is still alive. Even Osama knows just how much his credibility relies upon making pronouncements that reflect current events and thereby provide some sort of timestamp. How many years has it been since that happened?

#1  Nice, but NOT good enuff - the average fighter out in the field will inevitably wanna see his leader(s). Combat warriors are not stupid, and not even Radical Islam/Terror orgs should underestimate or ignore the ethos-pathos of their own men.
