"They are far better than any other soldiers in the world. If you go into the mountain they will beat you. They will be faster. They know the routes. They are more hardy."

What a joke. This guy is delusional, if he really believes hat, and has no idea, *none*, of what American soldiers are like.

But this is good news... If Bin Ladin keeps moving, we'll get him. His only defense is to stay holed up. I'm hoping CIA has got him convinced (if indeed he's alive, which I seriously doubt) that it's safe to move... outwitting him in that fashion will provide a greatly satisfying blow to the collective Islamic ego.

Incidentally, one area in which Musharraf and I would probably agree is that the battle in the mountains of Afghanistan, and not the current squabble in Iraq, is the most important for us to win. The rug pilots are still preening over their success against the Bear in Afghanistan. They sit around their hookahs doping themselves with hashish and muttering ominously about what will happen if the Infidels dare to attack them in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan. They believe - rightly or wrongly - that that is the true test of their strength against us. If we can destroy them in that environment, it will send shock waves of dismay throughout Islam.

Fundamentally, this is a battle of Cro-Magnons against Neanderthals, of modern man against atavism, against cave men. Crazy as it sounds, demonstrating that modern technology is capable of destroying them in their caves, no matter how remote or how deep, will demoralize and disrupt them far more than anything else we have done thus far.
