Here’s my theory. we know where Osama is, we are just keeping an eye on him to find out who he is meeting and then capturing or killing them. Anyone else think this is possible?

Of course, he’ll probably be “found” right before the election :rolleyes:

I thought that maybe he was in Pakastan and the U.S. knows it but can’t go over there to get him.

- Then again, I also thought the the KGB was helping him and was hiding him in Russia somewhere. \* :o
