re: "Jihadunspun"
OPINION: I believe the 2 years in the White Mountains is just a reference to being stuck in the mountains on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border.
I pinged you on it, but want to add it to the collection in this thread. It shows why Pakistan and Musharraf is critically important to us -- and Bin Laden, and why they are so intent on assassinating him.
Analysis: Al-Qaida's second breath (Al Qaeda, Pakistan, Saudi) -- IMPORTANT INFO)
"But of far greater importance is the fact that Pakistan is a nuclear power and the country falling into the hands of the jihadis would make bin Laden a nuclear power"
Should he accomplish his objectives, with a finger on a nuclear trigger and control over the world's vastest supply of oil, bin Laden would greatly change the present world order."
