Osama bin Laden is holed up in Tora Bora. Reports say that bin Laden is near the precipice of his great demise. The cornerstone of his condominium is crumbling, and they predict he will fall. Think about it. Bin Laden was always one who was flexing his muscles, strutting his stuff, scaring people to death. Beam me up. I now officially deem bin Laden as ``bin hiden.'' This gutless coward from Tora Bora has no balsam, period. I yield back with a famous quote of Mohammed Ali. Bin Laden can run, but bin Laden cannot hide much longer.
