No doubt. The guy seems to specialize in arcane statements and pointless criticisms.

Would you care to be more specific? Or, would you rather just stab me in back and stay silent...Hmmm?

People can read and decide for themselves.

Thanks for your response.

Now, what, in particular, is bothering you?

I will be specific not to you but to many on free republic that lie in wait to critique, grammar, spelling, or if something is posted somewhere else. Makes you look like a librarian with a red pen nullifying posts because you can’t read what others intend.

Just read and respond without trying to elevate yourself by commenting on how one writes rather than by what one writes.

"Interesting. How credible is Ray Robinson? Does anyone have a handle on him?"

FReeper 'jveritas' and I had difference of opinions with Ray on what some of the translated documents actually meant. I pinged 'jveritas' so maybe he can shed more light on this.

Why couldn’t Bin Laden go to Syria, or somewhere in Africa?

I can’t see him actually going into Iraq. Guy’s a rock star, and he’s got a huge bounty on his head. He’s a walking lottery ticket. Go to Iraq?

As for our leaders being misinformed: I don’t think information has anything to do with our leaders stand on any position.

Great read. I hope it’s true, but there is not a lot in the way of specific evidence.

He is probably the most responsible for turning the Taliban -- which he had a significant hand in creating -- against al Qaeda. Which means, believe it or not, on some level he may be working with the Pakistani government and possibly the US government, since he is purely an opportunist.

The author is not clear exactly what would lure Maulana Fazlur Rahman to work with the Pakistani or US government. Is he not a committed islametard? Seems like a crappy line of work, if you’re not really committed to the cause. Money seems possible, but again, I thought most of these top-level knuckleheads were in it for the afterlife virgins and whatnot.

secret plans are being drawn up to lure Usama bin Laden to Iraq where it will be much harder for him to hide.

Honestly, with that $25 million price on his head, he’d last about 13 seconds in Iraq. He won’t go there in a million years. He’d have a much easier time hiding in India, or Portugal, or Sudan, or Cleveland. Iraq is instant death for him.

In this article Ray Robison is correct. My take on Robison is that he badly misinterpreted two Iraqi documents and his misinterpretation of one of them was used by the media to dismiss the whole effort done by bloggers on the Iraqi documents.

Thanks.

I also wonder how much of this is the ineffable cleverness of our long range intelligence planning, and how much of it is good luck, as the Muslim players fall out with each other.

In any case, it’s good to hear we are exploiting it.

Baitullah Mehsud - (Big guy in Pak-Taliban) shows he is still on the side of AQ (and "good Uzbeks").

Baitullah Mehsud, a Pakistani Taliban leader linked to Al-Qaida, declared that suicide bombers would launch attacks on the former premier as soon as she returned, 'The Sunday Telegraph' reported.
