For the past 48 hours there has been a consensus among senior US officials that bin Laden has gotten away. However, while on the run he is vulnerable -- it should be an interesting chase.

Mike Scanlan needs to focus on the new RS government that will be formed soon as PM Ivanic is none too pleased with recent shenanigans slowing the privatisation process. Everybody knows Dodik wants back in the game in the RS -- apparently it will be up to the State Department to finesse the downfall of the SDS -- with or without him.

Where in the world is Osama bin Laden? They could make a TV series with that.

Note what the article says about Iraq attempting to delay the "next strategic move" of the U.S....will the neo-cons have their way and get the U.S. to invade Iraq to oust Saddam (doing Israel's dirty work yet again)?

Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel.

Right!

Him, his fourteen wifes, his 50 kids and couple of goats. No one even noticed when they crossed the border.

Elvis has left the building. He's probably headed wherever we've decided to bomb next.

[porte des morts]

If true, this would be very good news......let the hunt begin.

[droberts]

I'm prepared to bet we never find him (at least not any time soon), either because he does not exist as portrayed or he is much too convenient to have around as an enemy.

It is the end of Nov. the heavy snow at high altitudes is already there. He left before last week. If his caravan is still traveling in the mountians they should not be hard to find. I think he took a plane or was gone by 9-11.

[Cleburne]

How does he keep leaving when he's left so many times before? Does he keep coming back, then slipping out again? It's downright confusing. How does he do it?!

[RLK]

He got away a long time ago.

[holman]

OBL is probably dead.

If not and if he were smart, there's only one place he can go . . .

Baghdad

Pure speculation. I can just hear Donald Rumsfeld, "Since didn't know where was yesterday, we don't know if he is still there."

With all due respect to J.D. Hayworth we absolutely do not need to catch Bin Laden before getting Saddam. Bush could come on TV any night and announce that we are must stop Saddam from getting WOMD and bombing began 15 minutes ago, and the American people would cheer. And Bush knows that even if J.D. doesn't.

This source stinks to high heaven. On the entire internet, the ONLY reference to an "Albania Briefing" with a "Dority" authoring is on Free Republic.

[beckett]

Looks like a phony report from beginning to end. Where is the source URL?

[Hoplite]

Sorry bud.

The curtain is coming down - I don't suppose you've ever heard the tale of "Deep in the Hurtgen Forest" on FR, have you?

[IronJack]

I suspect our intelligence community knows a lot more about Osama's location than they're telling anyone. Including Osama. No point in tipping him off; he'll meet the Reaper soon enough.

[SBprone]

Hey bud, how goes it with the Chechens? Did your guys know they were surrendering when they marched to that prison? They sure got whacked when they changed their minds, didn't they.

[poopsie2]

He left in a "caravan" of at least 21 people...and we missed him. Uh, yep, we can read a license plate from space and zero in on one square foot. That's what they tell us.

[AmericanInTokyo]

And all this time I thought there was a bullshit filter installed in FR. I guess this one 'article' kinda' slipped through.....

read this FR post: Osama bin Laden is Already Dead

Osama plus any decent size entourage would be easily spotted, night or day.
