Osama bin Laden? Yawn.
My, my, the hawkish side o' the blogosphere is sure flip about Ol' What'sHisFace. The consensus seems to be that, despite being responsible for thousands of American deaths (As Goldstein might say, MUST WE FUCKING REMIND YOU PEOPLE? 9/11 DAMN IT! LICK MY DOG'S PENIS!), conservobloggers can afford to be cavalier about Mr. bin Laden because....
... he's not discussing Iraq TigerHawk: Osama Bin Laden has opened his pie hole again... After thirty months of battlefield defeats and political embarrassments, bin Laden won't even mention Iraq in one of his rare public utterances, and he rallies his troops to fight a war where American soldiers aren't. How humiliating. How delightful.
... he is discussing Darfur, thus proving how damn out of touch he is InstaTesticle: Meanwhile, Osama bin Laden -- who was already mad about the end to genocide in East Timor -- is now declaring war against the world over efforts to end the genocide in Darfur. I agree that this is, if genuine, an agitprop error. But it's hard to stay in touch with the currents of popular opinion when you live in a cave.
... he has modified his terrorist activities Dean Esmay: I notice that Osama Bin Laden has a new tape out. Frustrating that we haven't captured the vermin yet. But amusingly, Tigerhawk notes that a couple of years ago Bin Laden was promising to defeat America in Iraq. And he, uh, doesn't have much to say about that now. ... Whoopsie. Heheh.
... his format sucks Atlas Shrugs: Oh and btw, why an audio tape and not a video? He must look like real shit.
Geez. What's a guy gotta do to raise the ire of the GOP? Even Arlen Specter doesn't seem to give a fuck: "One day, we'll catch him."
SHORTER WINGOSPHERE: In lieu of catching Osama, we shall mock the shit out of him.
UPDATE: Oliver Fucking Willis! Sweet.

handy summary, this was. saving us lazier and/or time-constrained readers from having to actually scroll thru these #$!& sites. making TS = a value-added stop
bin Laden is dead someone is using him as a propaganda tool at this point.
what's with all the profanity - this site must just be here to make Conservatives look like jokers.
Anchoress? Is that you?
I have heard the reports of bin Laden being dead. I think that this administration is "resurrecting" him to keep the populace afraid of potential "terrorist" attacks.
Yes, I am a conspiracy theorist. So what?
Honest to Christ haven't you stupid ugly Americans ever seen Weekend at Bernies? Do you honestly think some ragtag raghead in a cave somehow made the US Military stand down during the wargames on 911? UBL = RIP
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
Osama bin Laden:
A dead nemesis perpetuated by the US government

1,681 days since GWB said he'd catch UBL 'Dead or Alive!' SNARK
It doesn't actually *matter* whether he is alive or dead.. or unfashionably in the wrong country.
OBL has done his job of creating a real-life boogeyman. A personal symbol that a Keyboard Kommando can easily identify and hate.
The Keyboard Kommando's will flags every now and then. Usually when mom complains about doing the washing up, or when the cheeto stocks are low. They need a symbolic reminder to steel their nerves against their own sufferings for why they fight in the War on Terror(tm)
OBL offers them that symbol.
