SO I hear today that the NY times says Bin Laden is in Pakistan
and doing well, directing his organization from there and waiting to attack at some future date. So it is not if but when he will attack, right?

1. Yup, when
Pakistan, a military dictatorship that violates human rights rather routinely ,with nuclear capabilities and a delivery system is our ally, while Iraq, a socialist nation without any such weaponry, was the enemy, go figure,huh!

Bin Laden is probably on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border, among very sympathetic Muslims, in country so wild and impenetrable that he may never be seen much less captured. Bush is almost guaranteeing another attack on our nation by AlQaeda or some such group, its what he needs to control the masses through fear.

2. Don't forget that
Pakistan was selling off nuclear secrets to the highest bidder! And don't forget about all that Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in Kashmir, or the multiple wars which Pakistan started with India.

11. Right you are
So ,obviously both Bush and Rumsfeld realy meant to invade Pakistan but those damn maps are soooo hard to read, and you cant even get them refolded!

Meanwhile the real war is being fought in Ohio.......appended to state that I do not overlook or demean the sacrifices of our troops who deserve our respect.

3. My guess is
he's in a fairly large Pakistani city.

I only guess that because that's where the other more important leaders have been found.

None of them have been found in the tribal region where everyone thought they would be.

6. Bin Laden would not be in Pakistan
Edited on Mon Dec-13-04 11:03 PM by jmatthan
Anyone with sense will know where Bin Laden is (if he is still alive?) - he would be in territory that he knows he is safe in, and where America and Pakistan cannot touch him.

My belief is that US intelligence sucks. No WMD, No bin Laden, useless orange and red alerts, .....

Actions and results speak louder that words.

12. Perhaps you are unaware
of the widespread support for bin Laden in that region of Pakistan and the topography that makes finding him very unlikely. He is probably safer there than most other places on earth.

10. But I thought we would make "no distinction between
the terrorists and the countries that harbor them"?

Which is why, of course, we went after Iraq because... um... ahh...
