The French military, however, said that the incidents never happened and the report was "erroneous information." The documentary, due to air next year and seen by Reuters on Tuesday, says the troops could have killed the al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan but the order to shoot never came, possibly because it took too long to request it. "In 2003 and 2004 we had bin Laden in our sights. The sniper said 'I have bin Laden'," an anonymous French soldier is quoted as saying. The documentary 'Bin Laden, the failings of a manhunt' is by journalists Emmanuel Razavi and Eric de Lavarene, who have worked for several major French media outlets in Afghanistan. A cable television channel plans to air the documentary in March.

There were also claims made in Farhenheit 9/11 that when they had Pajama bin Laben cornered the attack was called off because the bin Labens supposedly made campaign contributions to a certain US family's campaign. The sources are cited in the book of the same name, if someone has time to check those sources I would be curious as to their reputability.

I somehow doubt that he was in a snipers scope and not shot. I would assume he is a shoot on sight target. There have been orders issued by numerous presidents to kill him (including Clinton, regardless of the "they had him and let him go" argument. Two kill orders where issued for him under Clinton), none have found him.
The guy who had him in the scope, but didn't shoot, is the same guy with the evidence that Obama was born in Kenya.

Clinton isn't who was accused in the Moore film. Like I said, I don't know if Moore's sources for the claim are reliable or not. It would be interesting to look into it though. Unfortunately, I don't have time to do the digging right this second.

Just send him to one of the colleges I attended. I can move and leave no forwarding address and the first piece of mail is something from one of the colleges I attended wanting me to donate money.

It’s kind of hard to find a guy that is buried under the side of a mountain.
My opinion, he was killed years ago in the bombing of his mountain hide out, he only made appearance (mostly entirely audio) when the previous administration wanted something. |

I think he is in France.

Some fairly accurate accounts indicate bin Laden was on dialysis in 2001. An Egyptian newspaper published an article concerning his funeral on Dec 16th 2001. All tapes he has appeared in after that are sketchy- he shifts from left to right-handed, his face is different, etc.
Basically, if we want to find bin Laden, we probably need to start digging up graveyards. There's a lot of evidence to indicate he's already dead. Not so much to indicate he may still be alive.

Interesting, and fairly recent, article on this subject:

Cute story. It doesn't matter if the US and UK think he is alive or dead, it is if his FOLLOWERS think he is alive. Other way he is a motivating factor for them and his being dead (I have thought he was dead for some time) means nothing.
The good news for Islam is Sister Boom Boom, America's favorite transvestite and astrologer, has converted....so they have that going for 'em, which is nice. |

Funny you guys keep calling him Bin Laden...
It's Osama. Muslim's write their name, e.g. "Osama", then have a "bin" (if male) or "binti" (if female) after it, then have their Father's name at the end. There isn't a family name (e.g. Carpenter in John Carpenter) in the Muslim name. In the case of Osama Bin Laden... Osama is his name. Bin Laden means "son of Laden". Just thought you guys might wanna know that... Anyhow, I hope they get him if they haven't already.
