Special forces have "good intelligence" the al-Qaeda boss or a senior henchman is holed up in a Taliban enclave.

Two squadrons are on stand-by waiting for the go-ahead from reconnaissance troops on the ground in Afghanistan.

Specialist counter-terrorist soldiers in the rapid-deployment group are on high alert at the SAS's Hereford base.

The other team consists of troops serving around the world.

Commanders have insisted on waiting for news on the ground because of the cost of the operation, which could run into hundreds of thousands of pounds and stretch vital SAS resources.

A senior MOD source said last night: "Although this would cost a lot of money, if the intelligence was good the resources would be made available."

In a nonpartisan way, I would love if our US intelligence orgs could have a victory, a victory that can be made public.

Interesting how Pakistan's internet access just went out for two weeks...

We did tube a bunch of Talibunnies a week ago. Maybe Bush will set a mayonnaise jar on his podium with a bunch of goo in it then say, "this is what's left of UBL's heart, we've tested the DNA". He introduces an A-10 pilot who narrates the gun cam footage.

Four years into the "War on Terror" and this ghost and Zawahiri are still eluding our best? Souds like Emmanual Goldstein to me.

Flushing tactic?

Hoping and praying.

Having certain liberal members of the press embedded with the troops worries me.

[lugsoul]

I hope that's why it went out. Because that would mean we've finally figured out that AQ's biggest supporters are in the Pakistani military.

"It's not a problem if it's posted here. Osama is a DUer."

Oh yeah, Osama was a BIG supporter of the Kerry Campaign.

"Hoping and praying"

Is it wise for an "evil lawn gnome" to pray? I would not want you hit be an errant lightning bolt. LOL mean joke at your expense, sorry.

[rebapiper]

It would be nice but don't wish of speak too loud you'll
have a rush of the Communist left flying over there to stop
it or they'll send Geraldo over there to draw a map in the
sand to lay out their position.
I honestly think the Clintons and their communist party have got to do what ever it takes to keep Osama out of the
hands of our military.
I also think Soddom is living in a dream world, keeping his mouth shut about just who was getting and for what.
If Soddom lives till our next election and Hitlary gets
elected, Soddom walks.

[Darksheare]

Perfectly safe for evil lawn gnomes like myself to pray in this instance.

Hold up, you can't apprehend a good standing member of the Democratic Party!

Howard Dean Ping! Ping! Ping!

Unless the Mirror is delivered to the doorstep of the cave. :o)

By the time the Sun or Mirror or some other rag makes it to the holiday destination spots, they are several days old. So hopefully he'll be caught by the time it makes it there.
