I've thought this for some time now:Some intelligence agencies are starting to think that maybe bin Laden hasn't been alive for a long time:
Questions about Bin Laden are being raised by intelligence officials who say that without a specific time mark with a photo of Bin Laden, his presence cannot be confirmed and the most recent statements could have been put together from older audio.Yes, and that has been true since Tora Bora. Haven't these people ever wondered, or speculated why bin Laden, who was second only to Senator Schumer when it came to being a camera hog, all of a sudden switched from video to audio about six years ago?
To me, the question is not whether or not he's alive, but why so many in the so-called intelligence community have been so determined to continue to attempt to convince us that he is for the past six years.
Not to be cynical or anything, but maybe this didn't come out before now because Bin Laden being alive made Bush look bad.

On the flip side of that coin, bin Laden being "alive" gave some additional merit to the argument for continuing the war.
That said, any so called merit wore thin long ago; I think your take is more plausible.
