Aneglus Errare mentioned once that our forces posed as Pakistani troops once to capture an AQ guy.

With all these recent captures we must know the general location Bin Laden and his sidekick are hiding in.

This strike would make sense.....we will be going bird hunting in the border region to flush big game.

"With all these recent captures we must know the general location Bin Laden and his sidekick are hiding in."

Which implies that OBL is alive. I suspect you're right.

But more than that, this whole scenario suggests a strategic explanation for why OBL, and company, was able to "escape" our forces in Afghanistan in the first place. It could be that we essentially "sent" him/them to Pakistan to destabilize Musharraf's regime so badly that he would be forced to ask for our help in cleaning up Pakistan's own nest of Islamic terrorists. Without OBL's unwitting participation, we'd never have been able to justify open offensive ops in Pakistan.

The question I'd like to see an answer to is this: If this was the plan, how did we secure the Paki's nukes in the event that the plan failed and the Islamists succeeded in overthrowing Musharraf?
