Daisy Cutter panics Al Qaeda into comms, CONFIRMS BIN LADEN at Tora Bora
ABC Nightly News ^ | 12/11/01 | John McQuethy

Posted on 12/11/2001 2:44:10 PM PST by John H K

This isn't up on the ABC website yet, but it led off the ABC Nightly News..McQuethy at the Pentagon..don't know if the other networks had it.

Apparently after the detonation of the Daisy Cutter yesterday, there was a massive amount of panicked radio AND satellite phone communication, whic confirmed that Bin Laden WAS at Tora Bora..this isn't random Afghani BS, but McQuethy apparently quoting US Intel sources. They then fled in two groups, one of which contains Bin Laden, and each group is being tracked by a Predator.

On the NBC news, they showed the "Moonscape" were the Daisy Cutter went off. Very impressive to say the least. The Afghan leader was saying that Al Qaeda wasn't so brave now : )

If thermal imaging Predators are tracking them through the forests, I imagine more Daisy Cutters are going to fall on them one minute after the surrender deadline passes.

When is that deadline anyway?

In baseball you have to follow up a pitch that is near a guy's head with another to get the desired effect.

Maybe a few daisy cutters should be warming up in the bullpen.

I've noticed that the "Where in the world is BinLaden?" speculation has ended. I half expect that his remains are undergoing DNA testing now, hence the strange delay without any news to fill the void.

I read on another thread that US bombing may have a silver lining, by revealing new mineral deposits.

Afghanistan is famous for gemstones, including emeralds, tourmalines, sapphires, rubies, and lapis-lazuli.

I have wondered all along: exactly what did Bin Laden think a half-billion dollar cave was gonna buy him? It would protect him from a bunch of other mohamedans on camels, but from the might of the USA?? I don't get it.

maybe we'll get this guy before the fires at the WTC stop burning. That'd be nice.

I feel the situation has changed in Pakiland for Bin Laden. He's no longer the hot item he was a month ago. He is not fleeing to a safe haven.
