Rumsfeld messed up and Bin Laden got away, but I'm confident that Obama will catch him.

1. You're not even trying

:smoke:

[IndianaGreen]

2. bin Laden is in Pakistan, not in Afghanistan

It is an odd way to go after your man by sending troops to the wrong country.

[LoZoccolo]

3. If people like you and I knew where he was, we would have caught him by now.

Obama probably has all this intelligence data that few people even know about. I have no idea how you could think you know better.

[IndianaGreen]

5. The Pentagon and the Brits say he is in Pakistan

and today PM Gordon Brown demanded more effort from Pakistan to catch bin Laden.

6. One each, General "Peaches" Petraeus states in the video cited below, "al Qaeda are ALL ...

now in Pakistan." Even the Generals admit that al Qaeda is no longer in Afghanistan.

Therefore, they dusted of their Orwell and created Mission Creep: "We've always been at war with the Taliban because they let al Qaeda CAMP in their lands." :crazy:

Anything to justify GIFTING another *trillion* of our hard earned tax dollars over to the MIC. If we don't have "nations to bomb" then those corporations won't be paid.

13. Bin Laden is in Hell, not in Pakistan

Been there since about 2002. Bush might have actually tried to invade Hell, but I hope Obama's smarter than that.

16. Is that you, Sen. McCain?

Tell us where he is, now.

[IndianaGreen]

17. Gen. Petraeus and just this Sunday, UK PM Gordon Brown, said he was in Pakistan

Don't wait for the next message from the Ministry of Truth.

[ShortnFiery]

4. Yes, but in the interim, how many INNOCENT tall Afghani farmers will we ...

bomb to kibbles and bits and bits? :eyes:

[saracat]

7. Why?????

[QC]

8. He has mystical powers. n/t

[Kermitt Gribble]

9. Yeah, I heard Obama has a much bigger

butterfly net than bush and rummy. Probably frolicking through a Pakistani meadow right now in pursuit...

[Yupster]

10. My guess is he'll eventually be killed by one of his own

supporters.

Probably some kind of family dispute.

Would we ever know about it though?

[bigjohn16]

11. How many US Soldiers are you willing to lose for one man? nt

[nevergiveup]

14. I have long thought he is dead.

I have no secret intelligence or sources.....just a crystal ball.

[treestar]

15. At least he'll try to track him down

Unlike Bushco

[IndianaGreen]

18. By sending troops to the wrong country? Boy, that's some smarts!

19. Is OBL Luckiest Man in World or Just Have Friends in High Places

Is OBL Luckiest Man in World or Just Have Friends in High Places

“Fewer than 100 American commandos,” there were only a couple dozen American troops at Tora Bora in December 2001, and there were more journalists in the mountains than US troops. Is it any wonder that OBL and several hundered of his closest friends walked out of the mountains unmolested and into the friendly confines of Pakistan? The many military blunders of Tora Bora have been widely known since the battle and can be found in the following articles:

Christian Science Monitor, "How Bin Laden Got Away," March 4, 2002:
htttp://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0304/p01s03-wosc.html

Newsweek, "How al-Qaeda Slipped Away," August 19, 2002:

Knight Ridder, "Tora Bora a Lost Victory," October 20, 2002:
http://web.archive.org/web/20030804035648/www.tallahassee.com/mld/tallahassee/news/nation/4324811.htm

These investigative articles were typically written by reporters at the scene of the battle who interviewed various parties involved and basically concluded the following facts:

1. The US knew that OBL would likely try to escape Afghanistan to Pakistan from his old Tora Bora base that the CIA helped him build in the 1970’s and 80’s.

2. On November 13th, OBL and about a thousand other al-Qaeda members escaped from nearby Jalalabad to Tora Bora in a several hundred car "convoy" while the US bombed the nearby Jalalabad airport but left the convoy unscathed.
