CB uses an HF band, but it is at 27 MHz and is limited to 4 watts output, which means that it is not always reliable for long distance communication.
FYI, repeaters are only used by hams from 28 MHz and up. The aren't necessary any lower in frequency because the HF frequencies already have the capability to travel long distances via ionospheric skip.

But Rumsfeld was vague about prospects for capturing al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
"One would certainly hope so," said Rumsfeld, who held talks here with Afghan President Hamid Karzai as he wrapped up a weeklong visit to the Persian Gulf and Central Asia.
