Hey, give the locals all the credit in the world, as long as our spec-op guys are safe, they can get their presidential citations at a quiet meeting at the White House later.
However, as a highly interested bystander, especiallly after all the interminable UN blather, I'm hungry for some scalps!

I really think that Osama became cave temp (his bits and pieces) in December 2001.
So catching him is not really relevant.
However, you are right. If we did capture him, the left wingers from Da$$hole to Osama Mamma Murray would be crying stop the slaughter of the innocent Iraqis and Iranians. We got the bad guy!
Also, 60 to 70% of Americans want GW to eliminate the Axis of Evil. They know that OBL was just a part of the terrorist problem. The other 30% hates America and cheered when 9/11 happened in the privacy of their closets.
I have a feeling that his sons have been splicing and taping his words to make him appear to be alive.

Crap. AP needs to check their facts.
To: JohnHuang2
In Washington, U.S. counterterrorism officials strongly disputed the claim. They said they had no information that would suggest any of the sons had been detained.
A U.S. official told an AP Radio reporter at the White House: "We, in fact, think it's wrong."

Here's a good one for ya:
The US military finally hunts down and kills Osama Bin Laden. Osama is lifted to the pearly gates.
There, he is greeted by George Washington. "How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!" yells Washington, slapping Osama in the face.
Patrick Henry comes up from behind. "You wanted to end the Americans' liberty, so they gave you death!" Henry punches Osama on the nose.
James Madison comes up next, and says "This is why I allowed the Federal government to provide for the common defense!" He drops a large weight on Osama's knee.
Osama is subject to similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James Monroe, and 65 other American patriots.
As he writhes on the ground, Thomas Jefferson picks him up to hurl him back toward the gate where he is to be judged. As Osama awaits his journey to his final very hot destination, he screams "this is not what I was promised!"
An angel replies "I told you if you died attacking America there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you in Heaven. What the heck did you think I said?"

Bin Laden Sons Said Hurt, 9 Killed in Afghan Raid 5 minutes ago
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Two sons of Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) were wounded and possibly arrested in an operation by U.S. and Afghan troops in Afghanistan (news - web sites) which killed at least nine suspected al Qaeda members, a Pakistani official said on Friday.
The operation took place on Thursday in the Ribat area, where the borders of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran meet, Sardar Sanaullah Zehri, home minister of the western province of Baluchistan, told Reuters.
"We have information that two sons of Osama bin Laden were injured," he said. "The people killed belonged to al Qaeda.
"We have heard that they (the sons) may have been arrested. But our information may not be 100 percent true."
The minister said he had no information that bin Laden had been in the area at the time of the raid.
A U.S. official in Washington could not immediately confirm or deny the report of bin Laden's sons' capture. "We don't have any information to substantiate that," he said.
Officers of Pakistan's paramilitary Frontier Corps told Reuters that Pakistani forces had launched an operation on Thursday, also involving a few Americans, in pursuit of al Qaeda suspects in the Ribat region.
It came after Pakistani officials said they had arrested Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a top al Qaeda figure suspected of masterminding the September 11 attacks on the United States, last weekend.
Zehri said Pakistani forces did not take part in the raid on al Qaeda, which occurred on the Afghan side of the border.
"It is an Afghan area," he said.

"...Mahammed Whatshisname Jim Belushi..." Chuckle.
You're probably right about the timing and hush-hush. Sometime soon we'll be privy to a big "post-game wrap up".

Amen DO as great advice for the 30% of whining left wing losers in America: Get a life. Get a job. Support your family. Support your local township and government. Quit blaming the U.S. for every ache and pain in life.

Exactly, our guys will get medals quietly.Until then our stupid idiotic media better start giving Pakistanian militia forces the credit they deserve.

If the US did capture bin Laden, they would probably want to keep it under wraps until they can move him to a secure location. So when it does happen, we would likely deny it until we have gotten a positive ID (his appearance has surely changed) and gotten him to a secure location. This may or may not be going on as we speak.

According to some sources, the al-Qaeda terrorist organization organized by bin Laden with his own money is now led by bin Ladens eldest son, Saad bin Osama bin Laden, the Arab newspaper Asharq Al Awsat informs with reference to sources close to al-Qaeda leadership.Decapitation. I love it.

Brit Hume had Pelosi on last night answering questions about whether she supported war and Bush. I couldn't believe it! I've always seen her so composed--she just stammered and hawed in the worst kind of way and she knew it. The look in her eyes was priceless! And she can't close them either, the skin's been too tightly pulled up!
