Bin Laden 'boxed in' by US soldiers

The Weekend Australian ^ | 22 February 2004 | The Sunday Mail (Qld)

[AD from SpringBay]

I hope they catch him dead.

**"The area is swept by fierce snow storms howling down from the 3000m-high mountain peaks. Donkeys are the only transport."**

Send in Geraldo to find him! </sarcasm off.

[IronJack]

Uh huh. Just last week, I saw him running a shoe-shine stand at the Des Moines airport. And the week before, he was in Cannes for the Film Festival.

I'll believe it when I see him crawling out of a hole with lice in his beard.

[Imperialist]

I can't wait for our Forces to bring this bastard in.

[Enterprise]

"It will be an even bigger bonus than getting Saddam."

I agree. However, if he is caught, the Democrats will say he wasn't much of a threat anymore because he was boxed in, and they will start pointing at North Korea as being the real danger to America.

[Salvation]

I see Kerry's numbers falling to the basement if bin Laden is captured!

Anyone else?

[RoseofTexas]

Me too! This sounds too good to be true! Besides, loose lips sink ships! Why in the world would we even suggest we are HOT on his Trail?? So don't hold your breath here, nothing to see move along....:)

"the area is swept by fierce snow storms howling down from the 3000m-high mountain peaks"

Yeah..and it's so cold it fractures tool steel...and the Afghani warriers can live on snow and run through 20 ft snow drifts.

I guess that's why the talliwhakis got rolled up in a month

[Redcloak]

Don't be silly. Here he is...

[MegaSilver]

I agree. However, if he is caught, the Democrats will say he wasn't much of a threat anymore because he was boxed in, and they will start pointing at North Korea as being the real danger to America.

I say we'd better be careful not to execute him.

[kcar]

But let's keep this a little "internet secret" so as not to alert the quarry.

[ServesURight]

Already posted.

[Reelect President Dubya]

I hope they delay his capture for a late October Surprise.

[lambo]

This right here was the whole reason for writing what, on the surface, is supposed to look like a positive article:

"The US special forces are 'absolutely confident' there is no escape for bin Laden and are waiting for the order to snatch the shadowy terrorist leader.

"The timing of that order will ultimately depend on President George Bush, the report says.

"'Capturing bin Laden will certainly be a huge help for him as he gets ready for the election.

"'It will be an even bigger bonus than getting Saddam.'"

[F16Fighter]

One word: NAPALM.

"The area is swept by fierce snow storms howling down from the 3000m-high mountain peaks. Donkeys are the only transport."

I know a few "Rondack" hunters they can send in to plug Old Osama. (bet they would jump at the chance to go over and do it, too)

[IronJack]

Wait! Where's Tourist Guy?

[katana]

I would think it is to get him to move, sort of like kicking at bushes to spook a rabbit into the open. But I agree that this sort of thing seems odd to have been reported (with attribution to the sources).

Revelation 6:15-16

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

Not exactly the end of the world but fitting never the less.
