Getting closer to Osama? what will be the effect

[elfin]

on the primaries and election?

IMO they are getting closer due to the big increase in Afghan and Pakistan activity....

"ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Jan. 30 ? At the start of the month, Pakistan massed several thousand troops in and around the town of Wana, near the country's mountainous border with Afghanistan. Using a harsh century-old British method, officials handed local tribal elders a list and issued an ultimatum.

If 72 men wanted for sheltering Al Qaeda were not produced, they said, the Pakistani Army would punish the tribe as a group, demolishing houses, withdrawing funds and even detaining tribe members.

Several days later, several thousand tribal elders held a jirga, or council, and agreed to raise a force of their own to find the wanted men. In the last two weeks, the tribes have handed over 42 of them. Tribal members bulldozed and dynamited the homes of eight men who refused to surrender.

The most wanted fugitives, including foreign Qaeda members, remain at large, although as an added incentive, Pakistani officials have promised not to hand over any fugitive Pakistanis to the United States."

Also - add in the increased ambushes/deaths in Afghanistan these past few weeks and the newest warnings of overseas Brit and French flights..... may be signs that it just might be happening.

If they do get him - well, that's good - but is it not so good for Dems??????

2. It would be very hard to imagine them finding UBL

Whatever else he may be, he is very definitely illusive. They have emptied the US treasury going after him and his buddies, with nothing to show for it.UBL knows this.
