SECRET AL QAEDA ESCAPE HATCH

Three Marines from the 15th Expeditionary Unit scan the horizon yesterday from their Afghan desert base, Camp Rhino.

December 10, 2001 -- Osama bin Laden's cohorts are trying to use a mule-trail escape route into Pakistan to board tiny boats hidden off the southern coast - and the U.S. military fears some have already succeeded, Pentagon sources said.

Saber, it rather sounds as though they don't have any real concern that OBL can escape, eh? I wonder why....

A few scenarios come to mind...

• Yours, that OBL is already dead.
• Another, that there are still a lot of OBL true-believers in the ISI and Paki military.
• Another, that this story is more of the disinformation and bad information that we have to wade through in this war.

"Osama himself has taken the command of the fighting," the spokesman, Mohammad Amin, said. "[They] have now dug themselves into the forests of Spin Ghar after we overran all their bases in Tora Bora."

Which, translated, means that bin Laden is watching it on CNN at a Cairo, Egypt hotel, in the company of a few (temporary) virgins....

Like cancer, if you don't catch it early enough, it spreads everywhere, lodging in vital organs.

And standard cancer treatments today are:

Radiological
Chemical
Surgical

With non-conventional being

Biological
Alternative Medicines/Therapies/Magic Bullets

Soooo, the RX is: We irradiate, poison, infect, excise, explode, burn, cut, slash as needed, therapy to be continued until symptoms have totally disappeared. LOL

Let the fish eat his remains.

A hogfish of course. And there is such a fish.

[gfactor]

Good, now we have an excuse to make those countries do what we want

Now you're beggining to understand the usefullness of a never ending war on terror. And why some countries don't buy the "you're with us or with the terrorists" line.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Hogfish, pigfish, jewfish. Take your pick :)

[NC Conservative]

jewfish.

How does a fish get to be named a jewfish? Does he not eat unclean food? Clueless. Is there a fish person in the house?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Jewfish are enourmous. Get around 400 - 600 lbs. Slow and cumbersome. You can actually pet them when diving.

Two camps are believed to be in Indonesia - one in Aceh, in northern Sumatra, the other in the eastern Moluccan Islands.

What to do for next summer's vacation:
go over there and kill me some Taliban.
Insha'Allah!

Who does Osama bin Flintstone think he is, Osama bin Festus??? Even Ruth can't help him out of Afghanistan! LOL!

Tell me if you want OFF or ON my ping list - don't be shy. . .

"Why, for goodness sake, did they wait so long to do this? It should have been done before we started bombing two months ago."

Nothing is what it seems.

[MeekOneGOP]

Hey, Sabertooth! Question for ya, on a little different subject. What do you think about that 40 minute tape our guys found where ObL's verbiage basically implicates himself as having prior knowledge/planning the WTC hijacking attacks? It's been checked out and deemed a legitimate tape. Should it be widely distributed or does it have yet more hidden/double meanings aimed at his Terror networks???? That seems like a tough one to me. . .(I would be willing to keep it SHUT if our intelligence thinks it would be enabling to the terrorists).

btss

[EyesWideOpen]

he's getting funding past his fortune

Bin Laden is a front. For who, we don't know yet. I suspect the Saudis

Have you seen this?

[ipatent]

My bet is that OBL cools his heel in Pakistan, unknown to the Musharraf Government for a few months (Years?) until the heat is off. He knows that US Forces won't be allowed full reign in Pakistan, and he has protectors in the ISI.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads up!

[My Favorite Headache]

Totally...but like all fair contests run by the rules all family members and direct employees of Al Queda are not eligible for the prize.

A directive has been sent to shipping companies in the Middle East, warning that any refusal to allow U.S. troops to board vessels will result in "the destruction of the commercial vehicle," one Pentagon source said

nothing like respect for Law of the Sea is there ?
