As a practical matter, bin Laden has been "finished" for some time, and being marginalized is as bad as being dead or captured. For that matter, I am agnostic on the premise that he may be at present dead, or alive. The world is safer because he is irrelevant. The electoral effect in the US is just a minor irritant.

They call him "has been Laden" in the tribal areas! The only reason the stinking corpse still appears in photos and on tape is so that George Bush doesn´t receive the kudos he so richly deserves! Anyway, the moribund El Cid wasn´t able to rally the Christian forces either when he rode out of valencia strapped to his horse! Bin laden is already dead!
