Former CIA Operative: “Of Course Bin Laden is Dead” Warns war on
terror could be eternal Steve Watson Infowars.net Tuesday, Oct 7, 2008
An important news item that flew under the radar for the most part
last week was the assertion from former CIA operative turned
whistleblower Robert Baer that Osama Bin Laden is long dead.
The hugely respected intelligence & foreign policy expert told Terry
Gross, host of National Public Radio show Fresh Air, “Of course he is
dead, where are the DVDs? Bin Laden wouldn’t dye his hair, all these
things can be manipulated.”
Baer, who has has previously publicly questioned the official story
of the 9/11 attacks, continued “He hasn’t shown up, I’ve taken in the
last month a poll of CIA officers who have been on his trail, and
what astounded me was not a single one was sure he was alive or dead.
They have no idea, I mean this man disappeared off the side of the
earth.”
Baer, who’s previous book See No Evil was the basis for the film
Syriana, asked “When in history has a country fought another country
or another entity when the leader may be dead?” and warned that the
so called war on terror could be an eternal war if the goal continues
to be to capture Bin Laden.
Baer also warned that the war is shifting into Pakistan, a dangerous
precedent that could see the vaguely defined conflict move anywhere.
Last July it was revealed that Pakistan has an agreement to allow CIA-
operated Predator drones fly over the country and strike targets in
the so called “hunt” for Bin Laden. Since that time many strikes have
taken place, killing civilians in the process.
In addition, details of a secret Pentagon plan to send U.S. special
forces into the wild tribal regions of Pakistan to find Bin Laden
have also emerged. The plans have reportedly not yet been implemented
due to White House in fighting.

There is voluminous evidence to suggest Bin Laden is long dead.
According to French newspaper Le Figaro, Bin Laden was on a kidney
dialysis machine after he had one shipped to his base in Kandahar
Afghanistan in 2000, and when the CIA personally visited him in a
Dubai hospital. Other accounts suggest he was also suffering from
Hepatitis C at the time and had only two years left to live.
Journalists who met Bin Laden before 9/11 later proclaimed their
disbelief about the fact that he didn’t appear on video after
December 2001 to brag about the fact that he had not been captured.
Since that time, every single Bin Laden video tape released has
contained vague non-specific messages and in many cases the footage
is old and re-hashed.
“With an ego the size of Mount Everest, Osama bin Laden would not
have, could not have, remained silent for so long if he were still
alive. He always liked to take credit even for things he had nothing
to do with. Would he remain silent for nine months and not trumpet
his own survival?” wrote the New York Times‘ Amir Taheri in July 2002.
A very good reason for Osama remaining silent after the end of 2001
would be the fact that he probably died on December 26 of that year,
according to a report in the Pakistani Observer, which cited a
Taliban official as stating that Bin Laden died due to an untreated
lung complication and that he had attended his funeral.
In 2002 CNN reported on the fact that Pakistan’s president Pervez
Musharraf believed Bin Laden to be dead:
[A Bush administration official] said U.S. intelligence is that bin
Laden needs dialysis every three days and “it is fairly obvious that
that could be an issue when you are running from place to place, and
facing the idea of needing to generate electricity in a mountain
hideout,”.
Others have gone on record insisting they believe Bin Laden to be
dead, they include:
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, FBI counter-terrorism chief Dale
Watson, Israeli intelligence sources, the late former Prime Minister
of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto, Bin Laden expert Professor Bruce
Lawrence, head of Duke University’s Religious Studies program.
In addition, a leaked French secret service memo in September 2006
concluded that Bin Laden had died of typhoid poisoning the previous
month. The memo cited Saudi Arabian secret service sources who were
convinced that Bin Laden had died in Pakistan.
“The information gathered by the Saudis indicates that the head of al-
Qaeda fell victim, while he was in Pakistan on August 23, 2006, to a
very serious case of typhoid that led to a partial paralysis of his
internal organs,” states the French memo.
Judging from all the available evidence, the White House knows for
certain or at least strongly suspects that Bin Laden is dead and has
been for many years, but they have chosen to maintain his myth for
the purposes of political propaganda and as a hook on which to pin
the advance of the imperial Neo-Con agenda.
