Bill O'Reiley - Zwahajiri Killed By US NAVY SEALS

Posted on 03/18/2004 5:09:08 PM PST by dictatorMA

Accd to Col. Hunt on O'Reiley, US NAVY SEALS believe they have killed Osamas right hand man.
Let's hope it's all true!
If so I wonder if the rats would be willing to go along with another special declaration in congress saying the world is a safer place with this guy dead and gone...

Giving Kerry the human benefit of the doubt, may it has something to do with his prostate cancer and skiing.

The Leftists won't let us use nuclear power as we should, either.

Consume oil, but don't drill for it. Buy it from dictatorships, so that there is a Kubaya give and take of American cash around the globe.

A good first step would be to eliminate the crazy patchwork of boutique gasolines. It's ridiculous for each state/city to have its own blend. It costs the refineries more to produce the custom blends, they can't ship the gasolines from surplus to shortage markets, they have to seasonally switch the formulas each spring/fall, etc.

If they could come up with a national standard that everyone can agree to, the price of gas would fall everywhere.

"O'Reilly gave some good logic why he thought this may be true. It would be foolish to say you had him surrounded if you were not damn sure you had him. Mussuafari would just look bad."

Musharaff previously said OBL was dead, and he was sure about it. He also promised that he wasn't in Pakistan. This time could be different, but who knows.

Don't. He is snowboarding like a kid. It couldn't bother him that much. He doesn't have the "gravitas" to be President.

I think O'Reilly is brainstorming for Bush's team, but he is doing it in such a way to actually provide media pressure on Bush to change, it will backfire on him if he continues it.

What about the Khan situation? Think that's got anything to do with why we're letting Pakistan "handle" this?

‘Task Force 121 likely to hunt Bin Laden in Pakistan’

Daily Times Monitor

LAHORE: Task Force 121, a conglomerate of American intelligence agencies and military personnel, will likely infiltrate Pakistan and try to kill or capture Osama Bin Laden if the flushing action pinpoints Bin Laden, who is believed to be moving in the country’s semi-autonomous tribal areas, a The Washington Times report said on Monday.

Task Force 121, the secret man-hunting unit formed for the war on terrorism, is a blend of warriors, aviators, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officers and deep-cover intelligence collectors who nabbed Saddam Hussein and now hope to catch Bin Laden.

“This is tightening the sensor-to-shooter loop,” said a senior defence official. “You have your own intelligence right with the guys who do the shooting and grabbing. All the information under one roof.”

The Pentagon refuses to discuss the group’s makeup. Its members avoid reporters. New information was obtained through interviews with knowledgeable defence officials.

Elements of 121 have moved from Iraq to Afghanistan for a US spring offensive, named “Mountain Storm,” against Al Qaeda now reorganising in Pakistan.

Task Force 121’s composition includes four major elements:

Grey Fox: a deep-cover organisation based at Fort Belvoir in Northern Virginia. Members specialise in spying and intercepting communications. They carry hardware that can tap into electronic-eavesdropping satellites and can splice fibre-optic cables. Grey Fox maintains a fleet of aircraft at Baltimore-Washington International Airport. On occasion, members enter countries on “non-official cover” using assumed identities. Created principally to combat international drug smugglers, Grey Fox has turned out to be the perfect unit for Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s demand for “actionable intelligence” to kill or capture Al Qaeda operatives and other terrorists.

The army once maintained Grey Fox, but after September 11 the Pentagon shifted direct control to Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) at Fort Bragg, NC. Ultimately, Grey Fox reports to US Special Operations Command in Tampa, Fla.

Although officials still refer to the intelligence unit as Grey Fox, a defence source said its code name was changed during the war on terrorism. The source asked that the new designation not be reported. Grey Fox has operated under a number of different code words. In the early 1990s, for example, it was called “Capacity Gear”.

JSOC: This is the headquarters for an elite 800-member group of Army Delta Force and Navy SEALs who specialise in counter-terrorism. Left mostly on the shelf pre-September 11, JSOC is today the most active it has ever been.

JSOC was the bulk of Task Force in Afghanistan that hunted Bin Laden, Mulla Omar and other high-value targets. It then reinvented itself as Task Force 121 in Iraq. Sources say it’s likely the task force will take on a new designating number now that it is back in Afghanistan.

JSOC and Grey Fox make up the “black” world of special operations. The “white” units — which operate more publicly — include Green Berets and civil-affairs officers. .

CIA Special Activities Division: These are CIA paramilitaries who can aid Task Force 121 by setting up networks of sources in Iraq and Afghanistan, and provide intelligence directly to the warriors.

The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment: This fleet of Black Hawk, Chinook and AH-6 “Little Bird” helicopters ferries the Delta Force and SEALs where they need to go, quickly, at night, at low altitudes. Saddam was loaded onto a “Little Bird” Dec. 13 and taken to Tikrit after Task Force 121 and a 4th Infantry Division unit found him hiding in a hole on a farm.

Task Force 121 would not be the first joint operation between the CIA and armed forces. In the Afghanistan war, the Pentagon transferred scores of special operations troops to the CIA’s Special Activities Division to infiltrate the country and set up links to anti-Taliban forces.

Elements of Task Force 121 are moving to the Afghanistan because of a planned spring offensive, and because the military and CIA are picking up better intelligence on bin Laden. President Musharraf has put thousands of troops into border area with Afghanistan against Al Qaeda. More boots on the ground means more contacts with locals, who provide information.

Meanwhile, the CIA and the US-led coalition task force based at Bagram, north of Kabul, has learned lessons from the hunt for Saddam.

That search showed the value of “link-analysis” — listing the names of every person who has contacts with the target, or contacts with friends or family of the target, and then finding them for questioning. The result is that the US believes it knows areas where Bin Laden has visited and to which he may return, said a defence source.

US military officers in Afghanistan have expressed growing confidence they will catch Bin Laden by year’s end. But Mr Rumsfeld told CNN, “I don’t know if he’ll be caught this year. If he’s alive, I’m sure he’ll be caught eventually. And when, I don’t know.”

I love David Hunt, he is wonderful....but his info many times does not always ring true. I hope and pray, however, this is true.

Take it for what it's worth...

I am friends with a General "retired" from SOF. He knows Hunt.

The words "Phony R.E.M.F." were very predominant.

His commentwas "I was offered the talking head circuit thing, but I was in the field...I don't want them to be able to ID me and trace me and my family."

He had nothing nice to say about almost all of the "Military Analysts", except Bevalaqua < sp? >.

What was O'Reilly talking about - Bush is continuing to SINK in the polls? I thought the last few days the polls were showing a turn-around. Larry Sabato was agreeing with him.

Maybe Charlie Rangel will rave about how Al Zwahajiri was "murdered" by our troops just like they "murdered" Saddam's demon spawn

If not Charlie Rangel then someone will. Sadly assuming that the Dems would whine that these 'poor' terrorists were denied 'due process' was the first cynical thing that crossed my mind.
