U.S. Closing in on Bin Laden?
The U.S. military in Aghanistan has "narrowed the search for Osama bin Laden to just a few caves -- possibly as few as six," reported Fox News Channel late Thursday.
"Military sources are not giving specific locations of the handful of caves bin Laden could be hinding in, but say the cave complexes are under 24-hour surveillance," FNC's Bret Baher explained.
"Today the Pentagon released new gun-camera video of U.S. attack aircraft hitting caves near Kabul with laser guided bombs. The decision now is whether to launch a commando raid on the suspected hide-out caves or to drop penatrating bunker-buster bombs into them.
"The problem with the latter option is that military sources say the U.S. needs a confirmed kill on bin Laden and they may not get that by dropping bombs into those caves.
"Pentagon officials say the troops are ready for commando raids and they also say they know that bin Laden, from intelligence gathered, is surrounded by a lot of protection -- making the mission extremely dangerous."
Details as they become available.

He and hid kind are responsible for killing enough US citizens, I think we just make sure he is dead and I'm satisfied.

Could be just disinformation meant to rattle his cage. If they do find his cave throw in some killer bees trained to attack arab stink.

"military sources say the U.S. needs a confirmed kill on bin Laden." That's why our system of government has three branches not four (Defense being the 4th). We want Ben Laidout and broke but we don't want anyone to know it until we've we've eliminated the rest of the vermin.
If the general American public were to think Laden were dead (or "brought to justice") the opinion would switch overnight to "this war is over."

We need an identifable kill on the bastard. Drop some blonde babes around the caves. When the Arab mongrels see blonde women, they'll run out of the caves. That's when we blast the bastards to Allah. Thank you Hugh Hefner!

We should ask him and his gang to supply DNA samples to Al-Jazeera tv, if he wants his body identified. Of course, the entire gang deserves to be vaporized like the WTC victims.

Fox News just said a few minutes ago that the US ARMED FORCES ARE WITHIN 6 caves of his HIDING PLACE!!!!
To: Nateman
MY favorite IDEE is simple... Find say 10,000 skunks.... Let them loose in the caves after the ventilation system has been destroyed and ALL ESCAPE ROUTES BLOCKED AND I can assure ALL that finding OBL will NOT be all that DIFFICULT!!!! ROFL

If that is true, It sucks to be Ben Ladin.

On the Discovery channel one time I saw a show about "tomorrow's weapons" (some of which we are using in the current war.)
One of the interesting weapons on the show was a robot with a rotor on top and a big machine gun on it that could be flown into enemy territory. The robot would act as a sentry and could recognize tanks or personnel and take them out as it saw them.
Could be pretty handy to have a few of these in this situation.

Either OBL is already dead and we know it .... or we are governed by idiots. Who would make such a statement only to have it shoved up his butt when we DON'T get him?
