Where’s Osama?

Glenn Reynolds made a good point tonight–why haven’t we seen video (or even audio) tapes of Osama bin Laden expressing solidarity with Saddam Hussein and urging Muslims to fight on his behalf against the Great Satan? It is hard to think of any explanation other than–he’s dead. A living Osama would surely have risen to the occasion, no matter how carefully he may be hidden. If the war ends without another peep from bin Laden, I’ll go back to my original view–as Mark Steyn said, he’s been laiden six feet under.
