Bin Laden to celebrate 50th birthday

Bin Laden to celebrate 50th birthday
Osama bin Laden remains at large and will celebrate his 50th birthday on Saturday.

Had things gone as US President George W Bush wanted, Osama bin Laden would have been taken in "dead or alive" five years ago as the Taliban regime collapsed in Afghanistan.

But on Saturday, the world's most wanted terrorist will in all likelihood mark his 50th birthday as a free man.

Despite a massive manhunt since he was believed to have fled to mountains straddling the border with Pakistan in late 2001, not to mention a US bounty of $US25 million ($A32 million) on his head, the leader of the al-Qaeda terrorist network remains at large, and if the Taliban insurgents' top military commander, Mullah Dadullah, is to be believed, Bin Laden is still alive.

"We know he is still alive. He is not yet martyred," Dadullah said recently in an interview with Britain's Channel 4 television.

2. I think he's still a CIA asset,
And his family's ties with the Bush bunch ensure his survival.

5. He will next be seen
When the Bush*t administration needs him. Im thinking around August 2008, if the Dem nod is leading the Repug Nod, Faux Noise will annouced that Bin Laden is dead.

8. I had no idea he was that young.
He must be like that dude from American Idol and the Ford commercials. The one who went gray early?
