Osama Bin Laden had already been dead for 10 years when they staged that fake raid in Pakistan. This was a PR stunt to save Obama from a political crisis. I called bullshit on the whole thing as soon as it happened. What really pissed me off were the crowds who gathered outside the White House to celebrate (either morons or actors).

How do you know? Why would Bush not announce it?

Why the hell would they? If they announced that Bin Laden was dead, then the public would conclude it was 'mission accomplished', and would expect the government to pull out of Afghanistan.

What hard evidence do you have he was killed in 2001?

Bin Laden had Marfans syndrome, a disease which severely shortens the subjects lifespan. He also had kidney problems and was on dialysis. By the time the 9/11 attacks happened, his health was declining rapidly.
