CIA Rushing Resources to Bin Laden Hunt

March 05, 2007 3:47 PM

Brian Ross Reports:

Armed with fresh intelligence, the CIA is moving additional man power and equipment into Pakistan in the effort to find Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al Zawahri, U.S. officials tell ABC News.

"Reports that the trail has gone stone cold are not correct," said one U.S. official. "We are very much increasing our efforts there," the official said.

People familiar with the CIA operation say undercover officers with paramilitary training have been ordered into Pakistan and the area across the border with Afghanistan as part of the ramp-up.

Although never publicly acknowledged, Pakistan has permitted CIA teams to secretly operate inside Pakistan.

Pakistan officials say they are aware that CIA teams have increased their presence in northern Waziristan since last September when Pakistan withdrew its troops from the area under a much-criticized "peace deal" with tribal leaders.

Broadcating what we are doing will not help in any way.

We should pull this thread.

"Although never publicly acknowledged, Pakistan has permitted CIA teams to secretly operate inside Pakistan."

If it was a secret before, it sure isn't now! These "journalists" are morons.

Maybe this was intentionally "leaked" for some reason.

"Brian Ross and the rest need to STFU. I don't want to know anything about this until they have him, or his remains. Broadcating what we are doing will not help in any way."


How do you know this isn't PSYOPS to get him to think we're onto him and move?

But I still want to see his corpse.

Are you referring to Crazy Horse or ben Laden?

You know Crazy Horse's folowers hid his body -- same as ben Laden's. Got to keep the legend alive.

The MSM simply cannot allow President Bush the opportunity to capture or kill bin Laden.

These people are so liberal that they will sacrifice the good of the country for mere political gain.

I'll put my money on DoD getting him.

DoD is a big critter. Let's narrow down the field to the shooters in SOCOM. They want him --- bad.

Just think. If we get Bin Laden, we will no longer have any reason to be in the Middle East. The Nuisance of Terrorism will be solved. How do I know this? Democrats tell me so.

OBL is dead or he would have been producing real videos.
However, I would love to see Zawahri join OBL, Saddam, Zarqawi, Uday and Qusay.
For some reason it must serve our purpose to pretend he lives.

I agree but somebody's telling the journalist and they have been doing this all along. This pattern has no doubt cost many lives already.

Check for a leak out of one of the Intelligence Committees. (And remember, the democrats see that they gain if America and President Bush fail)

You might talk to troops on the ground....they've found lots of evidence that UBL is alive and healthy.

Of course he is not dead. He was most certainly alive in his last video - the "John Kerry endorsement" - in November 2004, as he referenced events made popular by Michael Moore's movie. It has been over two years since then, but he had gone almost three years prior without a video.

There is absolutely no evidence that he is dead, and plenty to say he was alive in 2004.

I have a difficult time believing that OBL (if alive) makes decisions about his movements based on anything he sees from western media.

"I have a difficult time believing that OBL (if alive) makes decisions about his movements based on anything he sees from western media."

I am not sure that is the real issue. Top me it's about providing the information to begin with. That's flat out wrong.

Is there a human being alive as stupid, arrogant and foolishly self-interested as a modern journalist?

Other than an actor or politician? No.
