"We've got a pretty good idea of the general area ....Osama bin Laden is "

[sabra]

Cheney: "We've got a pretty good idea of the general area where al-Qaida mastermind Osama bin Laden is hiding"

Goss: "excellent idea of where bin Laden is."

Are the statements actually doing them any good? I know they are invoking the 9/11 angle, but how can declaring that you know where the 9/11 mastermind is, and not capture him, be something positive?

[leftofthedial]

1. Rummie knew exactly where the WMD were

in the area north, south and west of Baghdad

Maybe bin Laden is there too

[spooked911]

3. Good point. In other words, he's imaginary, it seems!

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

2. He's in Tikrit . . .

guarding the WMD.

[underpants]

4. Well if he was up your ass kicking footballs you'd know where he was

now wouldn't you?

[porphyrian]

5. Osama's been in Pakistan the whole time.

There's no mystery, just political posturing.

[aden_nak]

6. Yeah, he's somewhere on this map.

Or, you know, maybe in the surrounding area. Generally.

Or maybe Pakistan. Maybe.

Excellent.

[Roland99]

7. He's in the area north, south, east, and west.

[sam sarrha]

8. they couldnt find their own ass with both hands.. too busy jerking off

[maxsolomon]

9. screw musharraf

if he's anywhere, he's in pakistan, and musharraf is too afraid, or too canny, to do it himself.

you've proved you don't give 2 shits about attacking soveriegn nations, so go get him you pussies. or drop a 500 lb. bomb on his house. don't tell me you don't monitor that area with satellites every goddamn day, all day.

do it now. get him today. do it.

[MrBenchley]

10. We also got a good idea of where more than 100,000 US troops are

and its someplace Osama never was....and isn't now.

Great job, GOP!!

[doublethink]

11. He's wherever they want him to conveniently be ....

when they need to bring the boogie man out of the closet. I suspect they will place him in Iran ... soon. These Idiots and their little subliminal messages, pulling facts out of their ass to further their policy. :grr:

[sabra]

12. Iran

Osama bin Laden 'in and out' of Iran in recent years - US lawmaker
06.12.2005, 02:27 PM

WASHINGTON (AFX) - Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, who has been the subject of a worldwide manhunt since the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001, has been in and out of Iran several times over the past few years, said US Representative Curt Weldon, a Pennsylvania Republican.

Weldon is the author of a book on terrorism using an Iranian source dubbed 'Ali,' whose credibility was questioned by a Central Intelligence Agency agent.

Bin Laden 'has been in and out of Iran, and now we have military generals telling us that,' Weldon told NBC's 'Meet the Press.'

'Interestingly enough, the CIA totally refuted that when I first went to them. And by the way, the person who gave me this entire lead was a former Democrat member of Congress,' he said.
