To: The Great Yazoo

According to the October issue of the Atlantic Monthly, Bin Laden did not die at Tora Bora (as you seem to be implying) but escaped to the Parachinar region of Pakistan. The decision to rely on local Afghans to do most of the fighting plus the failure to cut off the escape routes into Pakistan contributed to his escape. The reports of his having a fatal Kidney condition were exaggerated. None of his current disabilities are fatal. Like Rudolf, he has the support of the local population. One possibility is that he is in the Pakistani occupied area of Kashmir. Another is that he is in one of the large cities of Pakistan. Rudolf was on the run for about 7 years.

'Rudolf was on the run for about 7 years.'

And who was helping rudolf? Bin laden is being helped. You are ignorant; many nazy war criminals ran for decades before being caught, even when Israel had people doing nothing but looking for them. Those who think that a war in a place like afganistan is won quick and using conventional methods is a dork.
