This sounds plausible, but it would be equally valid to conjecture that Bin Laden is in Iran with his son Saad, another son, and Ayman Al Zawahiri.

I've been saying Iran for the longest time now.

Well, either Iran or San Francisco.... /sarcasm

Perhaps we need to stir up trouble in Kashmir again, escalate things a little, and let the Indians launch a pre-emptive strike against the Pakistanis.

While they're pre-occupied over on the East side, we can send troops into the northwest region and get that SOB.

F'em. Don't we have Navy Seals for this sort of thing?????

Goss began. "We have some weak links"

This Administration is the weak link. 3,000 dead and all they care about are diplomatic niceties. Disgusting.

pointing to "the very difficult question of dealing with sanctuaries in sovereign states."

What did Bush say about those states which support or harbor terrorists? If going after Saddam was justified because of his links to terrorists and his lust for WMDs (and I believe these were legitimate reasons to oust Saddam), we have ample and similar justification to topple the fanatics running Iran.

[Yasotay]

We did let 500+ Pakistanis, advising the Taliban to be airlifted out of Afghanistan, during the fighting in Afghanistan. They still have too be pretty mad at us .... but it makes more sense to me that OBL is in Iran.

[Anti-Bubba182]

If this is true, we need to support India's claims in Kashmir,
cut off their aid and give Pakistan an ultimatum.

It's frustrating, but we have to pick our battles, and we can't fight everyone at once. Pakistan is a rat's nest of terrorism and extremism. Musharref is keeping it relatively under control, and that's probably the best we can do while we deal with other countries.

The only plausible alternative I can see is to go in and do an extermination job, killing millions of Pakistanis and sending them back to the stone age.

Let's keep in mind that they have nuclear warheads and delivery vehicles, courtesy of bill clinton and the Chinese. So if we went in, we would really have our work cut out for us making sure those things weren't used. It's probably not possible to tackle such a demanding job while we have so many other things on our plate.

his son Saad

Wasn't he the one appointed head of Alqaida, following the death of OBL, early in 2002?

Have at.

Since the Govt efforts are not working I think there should be more privatized efforts. We should create individual little partnerships to fund single persons (ex-special forces or survivalists) to attempt to find OBL. I think 60K would be enough to last for a year. The partnership could be written off as a business expense, so the investors could get at least a tax write off if the effort fails. The partnership would pay for a round trip ticket and cash available in Pakistan. At least this way, you could direct your tax deductible dollars in the manner you seem fit. The creative energies of capitalism and free markets can have a suprising and powerful effect.

I'm with you on this one. Iran is the spot. I think OBL has fashioned his AQ after the OLD MAN Of the MOUNTAIN.the following is an excerpt from The Brothers in Blood, (The International Terrorist Network) by Ovid DeMaris. It was published in 1977, but is amazingly prophetic in it's assessments

The traditions of terrorism in Arab society can be traced all the way back to the Old Man of the Mountain and his Assassins. Even the term used by Arab terrorists during the 1950's, fedayeen, meaning "one who sacrifices or goes on a suicidal mission"goes back to this Ismailic sect, which produced the Assasins of the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries.

This Group was an offshoot of Shiite Islam, recognizing Ismail, who died in 755 as the 7th Imam and diriving it's name from him.

.......Hasan was a native of Khorasan and a Shiite, who developed his own following of the Ismailitic doctrine that called for the assassination of enemies of the faith. He attracted a considerable following and formed them into a secret cociety with Headquarters in a strong mountain fortress, the Rock of Alamut, in Persia (IRAN)

He became known as the Old man of the Mountain. Under him were three "grand princes" who ruled the three provinces over which the Old Man's power extended. Next came the priors, who were fully initiated into all the secret doctrines and the responsibility of spreading the faith. Under these were the initiates, fifth, were the fida'is, or "the devoted ones", the actual assasins from whose name we get the current fedayeen. The last two classes were the novices and the common people....

It goes on to explain how he provided the assasins with every pleasure and they smoke hasish to enhance the illusion of paradise mentioned in the Korn. Wine Women and song. They were permitted to indulge in every pleasure until the Old Man dicided on a target and summoned one of them to him.

This should sound familiar to any that want to face the reality. Your sweet little Americanized Islamofascist neighbor, enjoying the pleasures of an open society, amy just be waiting for a call fro the OLD MAN.
