This sounds right to me

Matthew at Froggy Ruminations has some interesting thoughts on the status of Osama bin Laden and the presidential campaign. His argument is A) bin Laden is dead, and was probably killed at Tora Bora; B) we know it, and C) Bush isn't saying anything because to say he's dead would turn him into a glorious martyr, while to let his lifeless corpse be silent in the face of elections in Afgahnistan and progress in Iraq drains the life out of his supporters, drop by drop.

BTW, in case you are confused, "froggy" refers not to "Charles de Gaulle ass-kisser" but "blow shit up underwater."
