It may be that that Usama Bin Laden and Mullah Omar are dead. When such conjecture was at its strongest it was reported that Omar had escaped, unbelievably, on a motor bike. Clearly if both these figures are dead the justification for continued air strikes by the Pentagon becomes less plausible. Washington may want the duo to be alive in relation to its strategic interests. Washington has the power to maintain the images of these two figures as living real images as long as it wishes. This is the degree of power possessed by imperialist capital at the level of politics and image.
