Now looking back at that we see it for what it was -- just idle election-year speculation.

I've wondered for a while if Osama Bin Laden has actually been dead of natural causes for years now. He was a very sick man even before 9/11, and running through the mountains doesn't lend itself to the type of medical care he required. I find it strange that he hasn't released any videos in years. A video would be greatly beneficial to their cause. In the last video he released years ago, he looked very ill and was not using his dominant hand to gesture at all. I don't think he moved that side of his body at all.
