I would say that 20-30% of the die-hard Obamessiah fans believe Osama bin Laden was and has been dead for some time, covered up by Bush to come to the rescue every time Bush had a problem. It is interesting that when Bush had problems he didn't pull Osama out of the closet, but none the less, the leftists believe Osama is dead. They were all waiting with baited breath for Obama to take over and suddenly reveal, Osama is dead - Bush lied (cheers from the left).
Instead we get more of the same truth ... Osama lives, and lives somewhere in the same region Bush has always said he lived - Peshwar, Pakistan to the Afghanistan border area.
CIA: Bin Laden still believed to be in Pakistan
Jun 11, 2009
WASHINGTON (AP) - CIA Director Leon Panetta says he believes Osama bin Laden is still in Pakistan. The spy agency hopes to close in on the al-Qaida leader as Pakistan's military cracks down on the tribal area where he is thought to be hiding.
Panetta told reporters after a speech on Capitol Hill that finding bin Laden remains one of the CIA's top priorities. He said he hopes that the combination of increased CIA activity and the Pakistani military offensive will give the United States a better chance of nabbing him.
Panetta said in his speech that the CIA has increased the number of officers and agents in Pakistan who are providing targeting and other information to attack the al-Qaida network there.
