Hunting with the Hounds | Time Running Out for Musharraf

...All these would indicate that even while there are regular public declarations of appreciation on the part of US administration about Pakistani efforts in the war on terrorism in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region, there is immense pressure on General Musharraf to show results in terms of the actual capture and liquidation of Osama bin Laden, Ayman Al Zawahiri, Mullah Omar and other leading cadres of Al-Qaida and Taliban.

This was to be expected. President Bush is under increasing attack for not paying adequate attention to the Al-Qaida threat before 9/11 and for moving away from concentrating attention on that threat with the diversion of attack on Iraq. That campaign was not adequately thought out and the consequence is the mess in Iraq.

Meanwhile, because of increased Taliban activity in Afghanistan, president Karzai has announced the postponement of the Afghan elections. In these circumstances, president Bush needs to demonstrate to the American electorate that he is a better wartime leader than the Democratic contender, John Kerry...

4. Osama bin Laden is not a priority"

Bush 9-13-01--"The mostimportant thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden.It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."

Bush--3-13-02--"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."

5. Surely in all of Pakistan they have somebody who could serve as a "double"

for the wily Usama. If not, I'm sure the Saudis could be of assistance. There must ve a bin Laden cousin somewhere that the family would like to get rid of.
