    Both.


    I think that the OP is actually Osama, and he's just trying to throw the Irish of his trail...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    I killed him with my own hands. Then dropped to my knees and shouted ..

    .."father..."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Id say the likelyhood is he's dead. If he was alive, it would be a huge achievement for Al-Queda to say that hes evaded the US for so many years. He would surely be releasing bulletproof videos of himself where there is no doubt of his identity.

    I actually couldn't care less. There's no shortage of extremists.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭blinding


    He is handy to have knocking around when the powers that be need to distract us (Release a grainy video or sound recording)

    That man is handy dead or alive.

    I'd say he's alive. Must be living a **** life though in the caves


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,831 ✭✭✭genericguy


    i think he's alive, even if he's not we might be able to see him if we stare at the sun for an hour in knock.

    Ah but he was/is the Man U of extremists.

    Any up and coming extremist has to measure himself up against Ossie.

    Probably better if you are an up and coming extremist if he is dead. He is less likely to pull off a spectacular and upstage you.

    Given a bit of time he could be turned into some sort of religious icon. Sort of a Jesus/Allah type but with a bit of bite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    I think he's in a state somewhere between life and death. I want a new poll option to reflect this. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,252 ✭✭✭bullpost


    No - For me Pete burns will always be Dead or alive :D

    If he's alive then the CIA are bloody inept.. it would take a large network of people to keep him hidden and supply his tapes to Al Jazeera etc. A larger network than would be possible to keep hidden from the US

    The CIA might be able to do it !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 281 ✭✭Chloroplast


    He was in my house last night showing everyone how to make car bombs out of old Christmas cards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,540 ✭✭✭tenandtracer


    Nah, he's definitely not "dead or alive"

    this is dead or alive.......

    I'm sure they could.. easier to just pretend they don't know he's dead though

    all 'justified' wars need a common enemy

    Changed his name to Gaspar Llamazares and became a Spanish MP.

    I don't believe he ever existed.

    This was probably the prototype.

    Well, one can hope he is burning in a jet fuel fire in hell along with his 72 whores.

    I will say alive though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,174 ✭✭✭rednik


    He's definitely alive. I got his last known address as I wanted to post him something. It was The Basement 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,148 ✭✭✭plein de force


    i'd say he's dead at this stage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,894 ✭✭✭dreamer_ire


    If he's not alive then I'd say he's dead.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 MickeyHayes


    He is alive and well, and he really hates our "way of life".

    We should hand over all of our rights until he is found.

    He is a guest of the American tax payer somewhere in Hawaii, enjoying retirement & a job well done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    If he's alive why the Audio tapes? What about video? The guy cant get a hold of a video camera? Cell phone? anything?

    I mean ****, if you cant get a hold of a camera how can you run a terrorist network. He's either dead or inept. But more than likely they've found a sound-alike to do audio tapes.

    A bit like the Gerry Adams voice overs in the 80s

    Anyway he's as dead as a Dodo's grandfather.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,015 ✭✭✭Paddy Samurai


    I think Osama Bin Hiden


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Alive but he might as well be living the life of a dead man.
    As it is, he is only a figurehead. They kill him at some stage, the nutters will continue.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13 zonic.


    I reckon hes still alive! I wouldnt imagine his life being very pleasent, living in caves and having a kidney problem


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭blinding


    Dead when it suits

    Alive when it suits

    That guys better than Jesus.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,399 ✭✭✭Bonito


    I remember a comedian rippin the americans and english out of it for not being able to find him.

    "So they mean to tell us there's a man evading the armed forces, in a turban, with a big beard and has to use a dyalisis machine once a week"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,009 ✭✭✭✭Run_to_da_hills


    Osama Bin Laden never existed option should have been included in the poll.
