1 indeed, several assorted limbs, and other appendages (assuming that they even exist)

2 DonÂ’t under estimated these pig shits. The reason that the US canÂ’t intercept his communications could be that he is passing written notes as they are doing in Iraq. http://washingtontimes.com/national/20050926-122308-1054r.htm It doesnÂ’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the US has all kinds of spy-ware. But, itÂ’s pretty hard to read a note thatÂ’s in a terroristÂ’s pocket with a spy satellite.

3 JohnMc, I don't know whether this is true or not since I saw it on 60 Minutes last night on C-BS. The Pakastani General in charge of capturing and killing terrorists in the Wauristan area of Pakistan claims to have infiltraited Bin Laden's courier network. He claims this penetration of Bin Laden couriers has pretty much cut him off from all contacts with his networks. We'll just have to see.

4 I don't want to hear that he is isolated. I want to hear that he is dead or in custody. Until then STFU and go capture that rat bastard.

5 Jesusland Joe, I donÂ’t trust the Pakistanis very much because I understand the catch 22 they are in if he is captured on their turf. But, at least it sounds promising. Boy, what a huge boost it would be for Bush and the Hawks if we were to land the sumbitch.

6 Heh. He's got us right where we want him. He probably keeps the few sycophants he has hanging around by telling them that things are going according to plan.

7 Sgt Beavis, I understand the desire to get the 'rat bastard', but sometimes, militarily, it is better to isolate and contain rather than capture. That is the case with an enemy leader that is really not very good. The problem is that if you remove him from his command, someone better may take his place. Bin Laden is in way over his head since 9/11 escalated the efforts against him a thousand fold. His job became far, far more difficult and he is clearly not up to the task. Hell, my grandma could have planned 9/11 - it really was not that difficult (and OBL did not do most of the real planning anyway). But that was then, and this is now. Dealing with the forces allied against Al Qaeda now is a different story all together. I would prefer Al Qaeda have the least capable, most understood (and so predictable) leader possible. OBL fits the bill better than anyone else I know of. When he is captured and/or killed we can expect two things to happen: 1) He becomes a symbol/martyr for the cause firing up his fellow lunatics all over again; and 2) he is replaced as leader by someone who will probably be more capable than he is. We don't want either. The best time to capture the enemy's leader is just before you deliver the final blow to the enemy forces at large. Cut their head off, and attack the body while the wound is still gushing blood. Don't give them time to relace their head - especially with what might be a better head.

8 I always felt OBL has been dead for some time - but without concrete proof what good is it. To his followers, a martyr is only good for awhile - but a ghost is like a myth that keeps going and going. The MSM needs a body, but given the munitions, terrain, caves (any idea on what it would take to dig out a cave after dropping the mountain down on it) etc. The dude's dead and cheap grainy audio or video cassettes that show up every once in a while after passing thru so many hands doesn't cut it.

9 No Bin Laden is not isolated ... He's gotta a lot of empty space to run around as he live in your head

10 I agree with Hondo. The prick is either dead or in Iran hiding with the mad moolas. Odds are he's dead. As the little piece of shit should be. Osama Bin Laden has a strange complextion because he drinks piss for breakfast. Then he eats human excrement cooked on a camel dung fire for dinner. He baths in pig shit and smells the same. He is the antichrist. A filthy, subhuman piece of garbage. Too cowardly to do his own killing. What a worm. Anyone following this low life should be exterminated like any vermin. Their entire lineage should be destroyed for the good of the future world. They are like polio. Kill them all before their treachery infects more uneducated, stupid, jealous creeps. Time to stamp out this disease. We should show no more mercy than they.
