"Gone cold..."

The United States believes Osama bin Laden is still alive, but intelligence on the Al-Qaeda mastermind has gone "cold," the former commander of US forces in Afghanistan said.

"Our working assumption is that Osama bin Laden is alive," Lieutenant General Karl Eikenberry told CNN's "Late Edition."

But asked whether he knew where bin Laden was located, Eikenberry said: "The intelligence has gone cold on Osama bin Laden."

"The search for Bin Laden will continue because this man has committed mass crimes and atrocities against the American people,"
he said.

If we only had real leadership in this country bin Laden would have been dead long ago. Instead what we have is he's still alive and we are stalled badly in a country that was one of his biggest enemies. Go figure.
