Binnie is NOT in Afghanistan. UBL is eking out a survival on the Pak/Afgan/China/India border regions - Has he from time to time ventured into Afghanistan over the past 4 years? Most likely, yes.

As far as I can tell, we're not doing much to convince Musharaff to take control of his government and capture him. Sure, we get a bone here, a bone there, but apparently bin Laden and Zwahiri are surviving on cave water and dust for the past three years.

Translation: Bin Laden ran out of money to bribe a security guard...

In that case, your screen name would be most inappropriate. Rip Van Winkle would be more like it. ;-)

He's probably sorry he loaned those 245 "senior lieutenants" and 355 "top aides" to Al-Zarquari.

As far as I can tell, we're not doing much to convince Musharaff to take control of his government and capture him. Sure, we get a bone here, a bone there, but apparently bin Laden and Zwahiri are surviving on cave water and dust for the past three years. There is where you don't have a clear understanding of the situation then -
Musharaff cannot capture UBL, simply by wanting to do so - The border region of PAK is basically autonomous from the PAK Gov't itself - The Gov't of Pakistan has little influence over this region (and this has been the case for over a century) -
Furthermore the terrain in th Afghan / Pak border region is some of the most brutal on earth and makes sustained operations incredibly complicated -
Additionally, with your logic we should have captured Zarqawi in Iraq by now and the only reason we haven't is because we don't want to?? - The fact is we have over 150,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq (on Avg), we control 90% of the Country, we have new Iraqi Gov't that supports our efforts and yet the man still remains at large!
The fact is hunting a sole individual is extremely difficult! - And if you have an understanding of the terrain and tribal control of the Afghan / Pak border reigon you would understand just how incredibly difficult locating UBL in this region is (or for that matter Zawahiri or Mullah Omar, or an additional 5 other HVT's we are hunting who's names you probably wouldn't know).
But for you to naively think that UBL, Zawahiri, Omar and these other additional HVT's survive simply because Musharaff isn't doing enough.....is just wrong and foolish.
There is much more to it then that - And as I said, we have many whom are at the tip of the spear hunting these individuals and putting their lives on the line in doing so 24/7 - (You don't hear or know about 90% of their on going Ops).

The border area between Pakistan and Afghanistan is an interesting place. The tribal areas are a no mans land of sharp hills, rocky outcrops, snaking trails and twisting road. Thick areas of trees in a few locations but generally bare dirt and rocks with a few villages here and there.
Intel on warm bodies is whispered from one person to the next. Some is true and some is hype. The longer it travels the more convoluted it becomes.
Me? I cut the guys working the area a little slack.

Wake me when the President decides to actually do something with this information
Today the President will be holding up the New Orleans Levee's. On Friday night/ early Saturday morning, President Bush is then scheduled to push back Hurricane Rita. Sunday he is suppose to rebuild the refineries and get the price of oil down to $1 per gallon.
Maybe he will be free on Monday to get on a plane and capture Bin Laden.

This has to be true, because the headline is all CAPS! Exactly. They don't let untrue things on the internet, and they especially don't let untrue things on in all caps!

What a frightening collection of "mental midget big mouths" you have foisted upon us to ponder. They are a disgrace to their race and are certainly not role models. Compare them to Colin Powell, Condie Rice, Clarence Thomas and Lynn Swann the former NFL great who has just announced that he is going to run for Gov of Pennsy.
