Is there any evidence Osama bin Laden was killed in 2001?

It has been suggested (see link) that Osama bin Laden was killed a decade ago, not recently as reported. What evidence is there that UBL was killed a decade ago? How does one refute the video and audio recordings reportedly made by bin Laden in which he mentioned recent (post-911) events and personages?

Update:

Bin Laden was killed in 2001.

The recent "killing" of Bin Laden was a hoax.

If you examine the videos of him, it's obvious that the first (where he's watching himself on TV), is an actor, and the others are digitally enhanced and manipulated.

Regarding what Israel should do; I think they should focus on peace with the Arabs, and not segregation and war.

Update 2:

I didn't believe the person who said something akin to, "you only get a few years once you are on dialysis,' so I looked it up. I found these facts.

How long can you live on dialysis?

We do not yet know how long patients on dialysis will live. We think that some dialysis patients may live as long as people without kidney failure.

[end quote]

George Harper, MEd, EdS, wrote, “I write to my fellow kidney patients as a dialysis old-timer. I wear that title as a badge of honor because, with my background, I expected to die in my early 20s. Instead, I have not only survived but have lived well with kidney failure for the past 26 years. There have been key people along the way who have helped me, the first of whom is Irene, my wife and home dialysis helper for the 21 years I was on home hemodialysis (HD).”

    This research you've done on kidney failure is very proactive and good food for thought. But here's some more of that food for you.

    George Harper lived in the USA and had available to him the best medical treatment.

    Bin Laden was constantly on the move in the Tora Bora mountains of Afghanistan and did not have the same medical treatment options available to him.

    George Harper contracted the illness when he was in his early 20's.

    Bin Laden was in his late 30's when he got it.

    George Harper mentions no other illnesses.

    Bin Laden's misery was compunded by the contraction of Hepatitus C.

    As for refuting the audio recordings, well that's easy. Have you ever spoken to Osama Bin Laden yourself? Do you know with 100% certainty that when the USA play you a tape, that the voice you hear belongs to OBL? If the only thing you've got to go on that the video/audio is authentic, are reports from western media outlets, then you must refute it lest you be made a fool of.

    Some of the video and audion could be genuine, but we don't really know how to verify that, do we? That's what THEIR saying but hell you gotta check a devil! You've got to check a LIAR!!!

    They made sure that no american nor anyone in Pakistan saw the body. They dumped him in the sea so nobody could dig him up later and do the DNA tests to prove it was Bin Laden. Nobody on earth can live 10 years on dialysis and yet they claimed he did. 3 years at most is all you get. A rare person lasts for 4 years, but its very very rare and somehow he lasted 10 years? There is a lot of proof he didn't die when they said he did. No telling when he really did die. They didn't want us to see his bloody head. However when Gadaffi died, they showed us his bloody head on tv hundreds of times. So there you go. can you handle the truth? I can't handle the truth but its shoved in my face daily anyway, so i've gotten used to it.
