CIA Says Osama Bin Laden Is Isolated, "alive and surviving"

There is no “old school” left with any real influence in the CIA. Plame-Wilson was the tip of the iceberg. Obama will make it worse. Everyone there is ultimately working for the left. And, even if they don’t know it, deep down inside they do. Any real patriot in the CIA should resign now.

[Mr. Peabody]

Well the experience of the USSR in Afghanistan wasn’t a pretty one. W chose a different battlefield. BTW, we won!

[ForbesFan]

“Osama became worm excrement - long ago.”

This is what I think happened as well. We got Saddam Hussein, so I think Osama bin Laden would have been captured by now as well if he were alive. No one has explained how he’s able to keep up with his dialysis going from cave to cave.

Thanks for your service 82nd. You’ve had alot of dealings with the agency and I’m glad they give you the support you need while you guys are supporting freedom. God bless you.

[lonestar67]

It was.

[woofie]

I think we could throw 5 times as much $ into Afghanistan and we wouldnt see much results. I think this is a danger for Obama...talk about a quagmire

Also Pakistan is not a country to mess with as it has nukes

[Uncle Miltie]

Yeah, and Kim Jong-Il is still in North Korea.

Whoop dee f’ing doo.

When was the last time the CIA was effective? 1970s?

Oh yeah, before the Dems gutted it.

[Uncle Miltie]

He needs a bailout, his cave payments are way behind.

[stentorian conservative]

It’s pretty sad when one can easily misread the name of the most wanted terrorist in the world to read the US President’s name. I thought for a second that something had happened to the prez-elect.

[Cheerio]

Is this the Clintoon CIA? The same CIA that put out a NIE that said Iran was no threat?

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Their collection methods and insight have turned the tide against Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Al Qaeda? In Iraq? This can't be.

[ikez78]

Thanks for your service.

[Eye of Unk]

I believe he was killed, OR has been kept under wraps all this time, though I hate to spoil the party but what if Bush parades him JUST before he leaves the office, a Kodak moment?

[Silly]

He just stood up in my soup!

[omega4179]

CIA advertising their inability again...

[ikez78]

I’d be interested in hearing more about the CIA folks you know regarding their thoughts on Saddam/terrorism. Please let me know if you can via PM or comment.

[taraytarah]

The plan: barry’s little terrorist friends will sell-out Bin Laden, and the obamabots will fall at the islamic messiah’s feet. Bush 8-year failure/obama 8-day victory - thus will zero the hero begin the dictatorship.

[enough_idiocy]

First, thanks for your service.

“was still not the main effort for the WoT”

Just because we had more troops in Iraq doesn’t mean there wasn’t/isn’t a signigicant effort in Afghanistan. We have more troops in Iraq because there’s less support for the effort there from other countries; hence we have to bear more of the burden. Because Al Qeada said the central front in the WOT was Iraq and they sent most of their supporters there, we focused there.

I’ll cover your travel expenses if you drive over there and whack his sorry ass.
