Osama's on the move again (asia times)

[lumberjack_jeff]

KARACHI - Osama bin Laden is on the move, and Tuesday's terror attack on the US Embassy in the Syrian capital, Damascus, could be a tangible result of this.

Exclusive information obtained by Asia Times Online shows that the al-Qaeda leader recently traveled from the South Waziristan tribal area in Pakistan to somewhere in the eastern Afghan provinces of Kunar and Nooristan, or possibly Bajour, a s mall tribal agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Area of Pakistan in North-West Frontier Province.

----------------------------------------------

I guess it was getting a little too comfortable in Pakistan.

1. Winter's coming

probably a good time to head to Qatar where the weather is better.

[Monkeyman]

2. Na a beach in FL. LOL

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. I hear Katherine Harris

needs a new campaign manager.

[Monkeyman]

7. Now thats funny she use him too LOL

[saigon68]

24. Osama is in a lounge chair on Miami Beach this morning.

[Ripley]

4. Asia Times usually has pretty decent analysis of US Imperialism and

failed policies. This is so dumb. If they know where he is in such specificity, why don't they tell Condi.. I hear she says he can't be found because he doesn't want to be found. :eyes:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

Of course he is, it's an election year and he's out stumping for the

republicans again.

[VegasWolf]

5. Bush ordered NORAD to put bin Laden on the Santa Claus-Reindeer

radar display to prove to the "people" that he is on the job.

[Auntie Bush]

10. If bush put NORAD after him...he's a goner.

NORAD couldn't even intercept 4 high jacked planes in a couple hours.
NORAD will let him go too.

[Klukie]

6. the Bush regime...

is getting him in place for a capture sometime in October.

[kimmerspixelated]

8. That's logical in a way

..however, if OBL(if still actually alive is caught) , wouldn't that change the dynamics of the PNAC? They want to take over the world, and they can't do it unless fear and terrorism is alive. Osama is the poster boy.

[Klukie]

11. True....

But I think that Iran and their nuclear capabilties have got them covered.

[KansDem]

19. I wonder if OBL will be "captured" and held in some foreign prison...

...just before the election, and after the Repubs win due to the "OBL captured and will stand trial" campaign claptrap, he'll mysteriously "escape" this foreign prison before the Americans could arrange for extradition...

The Repubs will have the Election2006 victory and their boogieman will still be on the loose...

[susanna]

33. Well, now, think about it...

He WAS the poster boy until we invaded a country with no ties to 9/11. Now we have a brand new insurgency to focus all our energy on even if OBL disappears to Cuba or is vaporized. That might work out better for the trainwreck-in-Chief since he is desperately waving his arms trying to prove the mess we made in Iraq is relevant to the war on terror...OBL might have outlived his usefulness.

Help me; I think I am starting to think like "them." :grr:

[napi21]

9. I hate to be a real bi*tch here, but how does the Asian Times

know what Osama's movements are and where he is and we don't?

Is it really true that our intelligence community is THAT BAD?

[warrens]

16. Asia Times has a lot of good sources

I use them a lot for business news. They have reporters in places like the remote parts of Paksistan. Unlike, say, The New York Times. Or the CIA.

[The Wielding Truth]

17. You really think that *Co cares? That is the question.

[napi21]

20. Perhapse you're right. I have NO faith in ShrubCo, but I did have

at least some faith in the Intelligence Community! Ihappen to believe a lot of the people deeply involved in intelligence are non-political and very dedicated!

I'm guessing ShrubCo won't let the info be released!

[anakie]

12. osama is dead

and only his image - like that of Goldstein - is what is left.

[Pastiche423]

35. I agree

He is now our Emanual Goldstein. He couldn't be if he were alive.

[underpants]

13. I heard the Loch Ness Monster is going to swim to his meeting with Bigfoot

That's what I heard

[lumberjack_jeff]

21. It's a good thing...

... the administration is running out of #2 guys to cheer about.

"Bigfoot, Osama Bin Laden's #2 comrade was recently arrested in a dramatic raid on the offices of the National Enquirer, it was revealed today, bla bla bla"

;)

I'd be surprised that OBL would leave Pakistan, unless it's gotten so cozy that it's now a suitable base for operations.

If Pakistan (which recently stopped looking for him) is a less-desirable locale than Afghanistan (which we, ostensibly, control) then the GWoT is worse than a sham.

[Tight_rope]

14. Well...Bush says he doesn't know where OBL is...

and just not concerned about his where abouts.

[truthisfreedom]

15. i say the f*cker doesn't even exist.

he's a CIA construct.

[rodeodance]

28. my gut keeps telling me he died a while ago. Just his ghost is keeping

afloat.

[bamacrat]

18. What a jet-setter, next he'll be clubbing with Paris.

If we know hes moving and we still dont take him out, then wtf are we doing?

[lumberjack_jeff]

22. That's good. I read that she needs a designated driver.

[indypaul]

23. Probably in the cave next door to the anthrax mailer

they can't seem to find him either.

[lumberjack_jeff]

25. You mean the Washington DC office of the anthrax mailer? n/t

[kineneb]

26. Nah, Osama has a cozy room in the WH basement.

After all, BushCo had to pay him back somehow for helping get the regime "reelected". They have known all along where he was "hiding".

[rodeodance]

27. nah. He just had to stretch his legs.

I guess it was getting a little too comfortable in Pakistan..........

[BootinUp]

29. No way he went back to Afghanistan.

I don't believe it. MAYBE a few 10s of miles across the border at the most.

[xchrom]

30. so this means u.s. intelligence is still a piece of shit?

[lumberjack_jeff]

31. yeah, probably.

They would be scared to be caught reading the Asia Times.

[Anakin Skywalker]

32. *YAWN*

[IndianaGreen]

34. Bin Laden will be spotted in NYC a couple of days before November election

and after a red alert, and the usual terra bounce in the polls, OBL will disappear from view until Bush needs him again.

[lovuian]

36. Looking in the Cheney & Bush Crystal ball -Osama will strike

before the 2006 elections and it will be crippling the nation to postpone the elections and Marshall Law takes over...

I hope I'm wrong but the third awakening is coming...Its about Good vs Evil
