fyi
There should be news silence on going after OBL. It should be mentioned once the S.O.B. is captured alive or preferably dead.
I’m very skeptical about this report.
Actually sounds like “leaked” disinformation to get a response, but what do I know.
Must have had his liver transplant somewhere by now..
Send the B-52’s to K2.
Too bad the K2 mountains of northern Pakistan won’t be suddenly made the K2 Grand Gorge of northern Pakistan.
Well, at least we know that it won’t be a surprise attack...
If there was such a summit, Arabic TV wouldn’t know about it unless the US wanted it known.
Probably just false info to cover for operations somewhere else....IMO.
The US military can kill OBL on sight but if they get caught listening to one of his phone calls or reading his internet mail, they will experience the wrath of Reid, Pelosi, Leahy, and the usual gang of traitors.
I don’t even want to hear the word “captured”.
LOL!
I prefer captured and executed. But simply killed isn’t bad either.
OBL is not only in the mountains, he is inside the mountains.
From your link:
************************EXCERPT**************************
The Karakoram is a great mountain system in Northeast Pakistan and Northern India, near the Chinese border. It extends 300 miles southeastwardly from the Pamir Knot, and includes many of the world's highest peaks, and many of the world's longest glaciers. Among the high peaks is K2 (8611 m), the second highest mountain in the world. Its glaciers include, among others, the 47-mile Siachen glacier, the 36-mile Baltoro glacier, and the 76-mile combination of Hispar and Biafo, which connect at a pass. The Baltoro glacier is especially significant, as ten of the world's thirty highest peaks cluster around it, including four 8,000 meter peaks (K2 and three peaks of the Gashberbrum massif) that rise very close together at the northeast head of the glacier. The Karakoram closely parallels the Himalaya, but its peaks differ from those of the Himalaya in their sharp, angular forms. Their icy peaks are often surrounded by incredible clusters of towers and spires. The Karakoram also receives less monsoon activity than the Himalaya. In fact, many of the valleys deep in the range are very dry. The peaks, however, receive heavy winter precipitation, and, with or without monsoon rains, travel is made difficult by the run-off of melting snow and ice in July and August, which otherwise are the best months for mountaineering. The range is largely uninhabited, so approach to the mountains requires expedition-style planning.
Very funny.LOL

I think the B-2 can carry some loads that will do the job.
