Bush has reportedly ordered US agencies to step up efforts to catch Osama bin Laden amid accusations by Democratic presidential frontrunner John Kerry that the White House has neglected the al-Qa'ida leader to the US's peril.

This kind of makes it sound as if the Prez is only going after him hard now because of the prodding by Kerry. ......so Kerry should get credit if we do catch him.

Reprehensible.

Plus, Senator Waffle Kerry also has his own exit strategy - last paragraph - if GW gets OBL, still " would not end the war on terrorism".

Bush has reportedly

Oh yeah, from who?

According to The New York Times,

That's how it read to me, too.

Of course, the facts we know and the additional details offered in the piece after that bouquet thrown Jean Kerry's way, make it clear it's a convergence of intelligence, weather, strategy and so on, that explains any "stepping up", if it can even be properly termed that. The idea that bin Laden's apprehension has ever been on the Bush backburner is absurd.
