OBL Releases New Hit Single: "You can't catch me!"

Don't you find it odd that the media seems to have endless access to new audio and video tapes of this guy thumbing his nose at the world, but that the US government can't manage to catch him? What makes him so elusive? Could it be that he's DEAD?

Let's say, for argument's sake that he's still alive. Isn't it odd that the US government would not raise the "national terror threat level" beyond its current yellow, despite renewed threats on OBL's new tape and despite warnings from experts that "Bin Laden's threats should be taken very seriously"?

Do they know something that we don't know?

Isn't it equally odd that Richard Clarke, "a former White House security adviser who is now an ABC News consultant" would think it "unusual . . . for [OBL] to say something and not be able to back it up in some way?"

I wonder how Richard Clarke would respond if asked whether he thought it was "unusual" for George Bush to say something that he could not "back up in some way?"
