ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Osama bin Laden, the Saudi millionaire accused by the United States of plotting bomb attacks on two U.S. embassies in Africa, has left Afghanistan, Afghan sources said Saturday.

Bin Laden's whereabouts were not known, said the sources who declined to be identified.

Taliban authorities in the militia's southern stronghold of Kandahar refused to either confirm or deny reports that bin Laden had left the country. The Taliban have called bin Laden their honored guest, a friend who helped the Afghan resistance fight invading Soviet soldiers in the 1980s.

The Taliban's ambassador in Islamabad, Saeed-ur-Rehman Haqqani, said he had not been told of bin Laden's departure, "but if it has happened, it will be a good thing."

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden, who openly supports Iraq against the Western powers.

I don't think all the lies and deception of either the Bill clinton or Democratic lying machines will be able to hid the fact that 9/11 would *not* have occurred if B.C. had arrested Osama when he had the chance.

Instead, he didn't want to cause concern that there might be an actual terrorist threat and possibly distract from his party's potential to retain power in the White House.

Do you think the Dixie Chicks will brave the AK47 and RPG fire in Baghdad and show their last respects to their hero at his funeral?

Bill Clinton is just as "connected" to this "cooperation" by his inaction and decision not to arrest Osama as a known Islamic terrorist when he was being given to him on a silver platter. The rest is history.

May God rain down his wrath from heaven against the lying and anti-American news media.

I think that Jules said it best in Pulp Fiction:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
