I hope they catch him dead.

**"The area is swept by fierce snow storms howling down from the 3000m-high mountain peaks. Donkeys are the only transport."**

Send in Geraldo to find him! </sarcasm off.

[IronJack]

Uh huh. Just last week, I saw him running a shoe-shine stand at the Des Moines airport. And the week before, he was in Cannes for the Film Festival.

I'll believe it when I see him crawling out of a hole with lice in his beard.

[Imperialist]

I can't wait for our Forces to bring this bastard in.

[Enterprise]

"It will be an even bigger bonus than getting Saddam."

I agree. However, if he is caught, the Democrats will say he wasn't much of a threat anymore because he was boxed in, and they will start pointing at North Korea as being the real danger to America.

[Salvation]

I see Kerry's numbers falling to the basement if bin Laden is captured!

Anyone else?

[kcar]

But let's keep this a little "internet secret" so as not to alert the quarry.

[ServesURight]

Already posted.

[Reelect President Dubya]

I hope they delay his capture for a late October Surprise.

[lambo]

This right here was the whole reason for writing what, on the surface, is supposed to look like a positive article:

"The US special forces are 'absolutely confident' there is no escape for bin Laden and are waiting for the order to snatch the shadowy terrorist leader.

"The timing of that order will ultimately depend on President George Bush, the report says.

"'Capturing bin Laden will certainly be a huge help for him as he gets ready for the election.

"'It will be an even bigger bonus than getting Saddam.'"

[F16Fighter]

One word: NAPALM.

"The area is swept by fierce snow storms howling down from the 3000m-high mountain peaks. Donkeys are the only transport."

I know a few "Rondack" hunters they can send in to plug Old Osama. (bet they would jump at the chance to go over and do it, too)

Revelation 6:15-16

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

Not exactly the end of the world but fitting never the less.

Osama bin Laden is Already Dead (since Ocotber 7, 2001)

[cake_crumb]

Really? D@MN. I was so hoping he was dead. If this isn't one of his lookalikes, let's pray he's killed in the action and that none of our forces are.

BBC News, about Quetta, two weeks after 9/11

Tuesday, 25 September, 2001, 23:46 GMT 00:46 UK The wild border town of Quetta

At least 10,000 Afghan refugees are waiting on the Afghan border near the Pakistani town of Quetta - a place which bristles with weapons and struggles with grinding poverty, writes BBC News Online's Daniel Lak. [snip]

Quetta is, and has been, a rough town. Its ethnic and tribal fault lines are often violent.

On the main Jinnah Avenue, Bata shoe shops and jewellers advertising Rolex watches sit alongside arms and ammunition dealers, each emporium of death replete with a contingent of turbaned tribesmen checking out the merchandise.
Quetta is awash with weapons [snip] Kandahar, just 200 km (125 miles) away over the Afghan border, . [snip]

Even so, a young man did confront me, wanting to know if I thought Osama Bin Laden was behind the World Trade Center bombings, and whether the US would provide proof of that. [snip]
A government official had told me earlier that Bin Laden had a following in Quetta: "He is very popular here." [snip]

Around the corner from the posh Serena Hotel, now overflowing with international media, is the local office of Al Rashid Trust, the charity whose bank accounts were frozen by President George W Bush for alleged links with Bin Laden.
A lurid sign hangs over the door, a painting of one hand gripping a sword, another with a Holy Koran.

[HEY4QDEMS]

The article goes on to say bin Laden's movements are continually monitored by a US National Security Agency satellite positioned over the land in which the wealthy Saudi is trapped.

Stationary orbit is around 26000 miles. There is no way ground images can be taken at that distance.

Recon satellites operate at a low orbit and therefore cannot "position" themselves over any area.

I'll wait until I hear this from a US news source before I give any weight to a story that only gives amunition to that fat slob Michael Moore.

Capture of Osama (dead or alive)= Bush landslide

[My2Cents]

Thank you, Weekend Australian, for announcing it.

[frithguild]

It's Bush's fault.
