American Special Forces to hunt for Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan

Pakistani newspaper reports quotes two American officials acknowledging that U.S. Special Forces have been authorized to follow and hunt for Osama Bin Laden within Pakistan.

Reports of such an arrangement first broke out on india-defence.com after General Abizaid's visit to Pakistan and the announcement of the Pakistan-Taliban ceasefire deal.

A comprehensive report on the hunt for bin Laden run by the Washington Post on Sunday says that Lieutenant General Stanley A McChrystal, the commander of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) operates on the understanding with Pakistan that US units will not enter Pakistan, except under extreme circumstances, and that Pakistan will deny giving them permission.

This is what happened in January 2006, when the JSOC troops clandestinely entered the village of Saidgai, two officials familiar with the operation said, and Pakistan protested.

"American Special Forces to hunt for Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan "

Why don't these papers tell him exactly where our Special Forces will be hunting for him while they're at it.

Acutally it would be fun to see the Rats squirm and the NY Slimes have to report in say late October that our troops nabbed Bin Laden.

It's easy to believe Pakistani assholes releasing this information on purpose to alert their "man"....

Before it's over -- We will have to deal some major blows to "targets" and "persons" in Pakistan.

Semper Fi

Probably trying to spook Osama bin Corpse to smoke him out and get him moving. That is, if he is still pumping oxygen.

Probably the NY Slimes feeding a lead to the paper in India so they don't have to take the hit on this one.

This appears to be the other shoe to the recent "peace deal" between the Pakistani government and the NWF Taliban.

October surprise, anyone?
