Eight Long Years: Where Is Osama Bin Laden?

The Prison I'm talking about is Afghanastan. I mean for gods sake most of the country doesn't even have drinkable water. In fact it's basically a medieval country with guns. This is a place that the NDHR called the " Fifth least developed country in the world."

Think about it if he's lucky he'll get captured by us. In the meantime he lives running from cave to cave while we shoot his comrades in one of the worst countries on the face of the Earth.

Utter nonsense. You have no idea where he is and even worse you speak of what he aught to find pleasurable. Not all men derive pleasure from running water nor are luxuries and desires of this world perceived the same by all. Osama bin Laden walked away from a billion dollar empire and choose this gorilla/terrorist life. He is a free man and he is free to plot and kill Americans...and so long as that's the case the cage you speak of is nonexistent.

I am agreeing with Saden, and disagreeing with Dirtbag, wow I must have gone through the transporter during an electrical storm!

It's a strange world when we agree with Saden. There were a bunch of stupid twirps in college that tried to make it into a have and have not arguement. If Bin Laden had wanted to he could have turned Afghanistan into a paradise. He had the money and the connections. He chose to make it into a terrorist training camp.

Awww, I'm feeling all the love guys.


Nah, Osama was a freedom fighter when we were helping him fight the Soviets. Of course the Soviets thought he was a terrorist. For some time he actually did good building roads and schools and shit in Afghanistan...then he got bored, found a new enemy and turned terrorist on us.

True, he walked away from billions but he didn't walk away from the public spotlight. Which tells me, to some extent, Bin Laden absolutely cares about the desires of this world, as twisted and sinister as they may be. No, he may not give a shit about running water or ESPN, but in his own way I think he's concerned about his image and the perception he has around the world. He strikes me as a man that is self absorbed. This is not your run of the mill suicide bomber or attention seeker. In fact, he just might be the biggest coward of all.

Sure he's free, I suppose. But is his definition of freedom the same right now as it was eight years ago? And as long as we're keeping score, Bin Laden hasn't inflicted harm on Americans in eight years; knock on wood.
