Osama has been strangely silent lately. I must be difficult for him to pass up such an easy opportunity to spin the current economic distress as systemic weakness of the west. This is the first election in recent memory that went without a message from him.
If he is still in the tribal regions of Pakistan like many suspect, he may be more than a little preoccupied by the build up in anti-Taliban, anti-Alkeida local militias that are working with the Pakistani army to gain government control of that region for perhaps the first time in recent history.
Who knows maybe he's physically failing? Even bad guys don't live forever. Kim Jung Il appears to be living up to his name and Fidel turned over the reigns to a somewhat less onerous Raul a while back.
