CIA has 'excellent' idea where bin Laden is
Now we're getting somewhere!!! 1,367 days after the attacks on the WTC, Porter Goss has an "excellent idea".

I have one too, Asswipe...
take the entire Bush administration to wherever the hell your excellent idea leads you, and go get him yourselves.

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - CIA Director Porter Goss said he has an "excellent" idea where Osama bin Laden is hiding, but the al Qaeda leader will not be brought to justice until weak links in counterterrorism efforts are strengthened, Time magazine reported on Sunday.

In his first interview since becoming head of the CIA last year, Goss also told the magazine the insurgency in Iraq was not quite in its last throes, but close to it.

Goss did not say where he believed bin Laden was hiding, but intelligence experts have said the al Qaeda leader who has evaded an extensive U.S.-led manhunt is probably in the border region of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

"I have an excellent idea of where he is. What's the next question?" Goss said in the interview..."

2. Well I bet he's moved by now since you've told the world you know
where he is - idiot! When the police are closing in on a fugitive do they put it in the papers so the guy can get a running head start?

I think he is full of shit.

4. Mastermind behind Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto was killed by US 1 yr 5 mo. later
In September it will be 4 years since bin Laden's attack.

From Wikipedia:

To boost morale following Guadalcanal, Yamamoto decided to make an inspection tour throughout the South Pacific. In April 1943, U.S. intelligence intercepted and decrypted reports of the tour. Sixteen American P-38 aircraft of the 339th Fighter Squadron, US Army Major John W. Mitchell commanding, flew from Henderson Field, Guadalcanal to ambush Yamamoto in the air. In the early morning of April 18, his G4M "Betty" transport aircraft was shot down near Kahili in Bougainville by the P-38 flown by Captain Thomas G. Lanphier, Jr.; Yamamoto was apparently killed in the air by a machine-gun bullet which struck his head, although there is still some controversy over whether he was killed immediately.

5. Assuming the man can walk 10 miles a day,
which is frankly a pretty sedate pace for a man in decent health, he could have walked 13,670 miles from the border region between Aghanistan and Pakistan since September 11th.

Since the earth is about 25,000 miles around, he literally could have walked ANYWHERE ON EARTH at a slow, slow pace since the time we sent the army in after the dude.

Yeah, we're got a pretty good idea he didn't leave the planet, so that sure narrows it down.

10. Hell, that's easy
he's busy getting blowjobs from Pakistan "strongman" Pervez Musharraf in Islamabad. That's a hell of a lot more interesting than hanging out at the shrub's "ranch" in Crawford gettin Laura's warmed up meatloaf every Tuesday.

11. CIA has 'excellent' idea where bin Laden is.... HE'S FREE!!!
And the adminastration knows where all of the WMD's are too.

HA!


The government is lucky if they know where 1/2 of their money is these days.

I have a feeling that Bin Laden will not get caught any time soon.

15. A while back the CIA said that
Osama migrated to one of the islands of Indonesia. Would he really stick around on the border of Pakistan?

17. Goddess-dammit, they have known where he is since Minute One
of Day One! They know where he is right now and they've got a pretty good idea of his Social Calendar for the week. They can read yer dang license plate from 22,000 miles in space, for Hank's sake, yet we're supposed to believe they "can't find" bin Laden? Cattle cakes and horse biscuits!

It serves the bu$hco agenda better for bin Laden to be perceived as "on the loose," ready to jump out from under your bed and eat your babies AT ANY MOMENT with NO ADVANCE WARNING. A nervous population is more easily manipulated. If it becomes more politically profitable for him to be "captured," you can BET he will be paraded down Fifth Avenue in shackles.

So I suppose they're going to release him from the prison cell they've been covertly hiding him in for the past few years?

28. That's new-speak for "we don't know where he is"
Much like Rumsfeld's "north, south, east and west somewhat" regarding the location of Saddams WMDs.
