KABUL, Afghanistan

[Ragirl]

I don't feel so goood!

[nobody_knows]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[aShepard]

This is as stupid a comment as Weaselly Clark telling us that under his Pres., no strikes will ever hit the US.

The only way that we'll get BinLaden is to do covert actions in Pakistan and other arab countries that will continue to harbor him.

[BlueNgold]

Bin Laden, chief suspect in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks...

Now even Fox is going PC ... sheesh ...

[RightWhale]

There is only one way they can be sure of something yet to happen.

[kjam22]

Just this gut feeling that we do.

I think so too. I think we'll have him and the WMD's in about September.

[VaBthang4]

Something is afoot.

First a serious security leak about a coming spring offensive and nobody in the DoD or White House freaks out about it...then these comments...

...I dont know what's going on, but I like it.

I have to admit, this would make it a little nice and tidy, as Albright intimated.

I hope Madeline is right on the money on this one. I want to see Osama shot out of a confetti cannon at the 2004 RNC convention in New York.

[Lael]

Just this gut feeling that we do.

Some talk show types with background [and contacts] are intimating that we are talking...

DAYS!!

If that is true, he may already be in "custody" and not even know it!

[isom35]

since we probably already do have him, I'd say announce it during the democratic convention. (or would that be a little too obvious?)

[Lael]

background [and contacts] = Intelligence background [and contacts]

Sorry.

[Cap Huff]

When military intel in Iraq began to concentrate on clan relationships and focus first on mid-level individuals within those clans there was evidently a quickening of the pace in narrowing down the whereabouts of Saddam. I suspect that "lesson learned" is having an effect in the Afghan/Pakistan theater as well.

IMHO comparing prewar intel about WMD from the CIA with current in theater military intel regarding target organizations is comparing apples to oranges.

[mystery-ak]

I bet it is happening as we speak...

[areafiftyone]

Keeping my fingers crossed. This would just crush the dems.

[DeFault User]

I have to admit, this would make it a little nice and tidy, as Albright intimated.

Please don't mention Albright and any form of the word 'intimate' in the same sentence.

[areafiftyone]

It would be obvious - snicker snicker - but I like it! Gotta remember Clinton's book is coming out in the summer I think. That is going to take away the Democratic nominee's thunder in a big way just like Hillary's book did.

[jimbo123]

Osama bin Laden - In Custody?

[PISANO]

Democrats are the SPIN masters. There are actually people who believe that Saddam was caught at the OPTIMUM time thereby it was planned and we knew where he was all the time. Of course NO ONE can explain how Dec 13/14 (?)was THE OPTIMUM time in comparison, say to, anytime in Oct or Nov prior to the election.

The people that believe this are simpleton followers of the WOMB TO THE TOMB democrats. OBL will be caught if he isn't already dead, but the CAPTURE/KILLING will NOT be TIMED for optimum effect.

[swarthyguy]

The cynic in me says that Mush, after 2 assassination attempts on AQ, gave up on the jihadis, being the Machiavellian master he is, has turned Osama over.

That's based on my thinking that Mush has known exactly where the boy has been all the time.

Now is the perfect time; Help Bush in the election; burnish his secular WoT credentials and give Mush time to set things up in Pakistan, plausible deniability, etc.

Some background to this tinfoil theory.....

The Al-Qaeda in Pakistan: clandestine guests or strategic trading cards?

[Dog]

Expert on Fox said the same thing today as you did.....something is afoot.

Heck I even heard the Pentagon confirmed the "spring offensive" and is siad to be placing troops and equipment nearby.

They don't confirm an operation until it is underway or complete.....something is up.
