Cheney knows where bin Laden is hiding, but not exact 'address'
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2005-06/25/content_454570.htm

US Vice President Dick Cheney said that he knows where Al-Qaeda terror chief Osama bin Laden is hiding out, but not his precise location.

"We've got a pretty good idea of the general area that he's in, but I -- you know, I don't have the street address," Cheney told CNN in an interview, confirming comments by Central Intelligence Agency chief Porter Goss.

In an interview with Time Magazine published Sunday, Goss said he had an "excellent idea of where" bin Laden is.

But he added: "In the chain that you need to successfully wrap up the war on terror, we have some weak links. And I find that until we strengthen all the links, we're probably not going to be able to bring Mr. bin Laden to justice."

Goss said however that "we are making very good progress on it," especially in the area of human intelligence.

Musharraf: Bin Laden Whereabouts Unknown

http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5098231,00.html

Pakistan's president said Saturday there were no authentic reports on the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden, and anyone who believed the al-Qaida chief was in his country should give his location.

The comments by Gen. Pervez Musharraf came more than a week after U.S. Ambassador for Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad claimed that bin Laden and fugitive Taliban chief Mullah Mohammed Omar were not believed to be in Afghanistan.

Khalilzad did not say where the two were believed to be hiding.

``There are a lot of people who say that Osama bin Laden is here in Pakistan,'' Musharraf told reporters in Islamabad before leaving for an official visit to Saudi Arabia. ``Please come and show us where he is or tell us where he is. We will act on such information.

``He (bin Laden) could be anywhere.''

2. And Condi needed exact flight & seat numbers on 9/11
And their frequent flyer numbers. Then we "would have moved heaven and earth".

28. Hear, hear!
It's so unreasonable of Americans to expect their national intelligence agencies to do anything unless terrorists fax their precise itineraries to the Pentagon! And with plenty of advance notice, too - it's the height of the season, you know, show some consideration!

3. Just like Rumsfeld knew where Saddam's WMDs were
North and south and east of Tikrit, somewhat. And west.

Guess this is more of the Shrub malAdministration's "good intelligence".

5. Maybe I am a bit slow
Edited on Sun Jun-26-05 01:35 AM by Gelliebeans
but we found Saddam in a hole in the middle of the desert while at war but we can't find Osama, who is incidently on dialysis, when our own VP and the head of CIA know where he is located (just not an exact address). I wish Cheney would go cheney himself. :banghead:

6. Break Glass in Case of Emergency...
Fire extinguisher w/bin Ladens face on it. Thought they might use it during the run-up of the general election last November. 1, 2, 3,... Get ready, "terruh" level orange, bin Laden gets smoked out of his hole and now he's helping the newly elected Iranian leadership.

13. There is no proof that Usama has kidney problems.
He has denied such claims and no proof exists that he has this problem.

22. 12345 Bullshit Lane.
A quiet neighborhood, near schools. The only downside to the neighborhood is that it is neck deep in bovine feces.
