<p>Usama Bin Laden Is Living Comfortably in Iran, Documentary Asserts By Ed Barnes - FOXNews.com Usama bin Laden gets up each morning in his dark, damp cave in northern Pakistan, gripped by fear, listening carefully for the telltale sound of a drone that is searching for him... An Iranian who supplied falcon camps says he saw and met with Usama Bin Laden six times since 2003. His eyewitness accounts adds to a growing body of evidence that the world’s most wanted is living comfortably in Iran. Usama bin Laden gets up each morning in his dark, damp cave in northern Pakistan, gripped by fear, listening carefully for the telltale sound of a drone that is searching for him. His isolation is almost complete. Only a few trusted associates know where he is, and they visit rarely -- bringing food and news, but careful not to fall into a routine. There is no radio or other electronic device whose signal might be followed. He can’t go out in daytime for fear of satellites. It is a grim, lonely existence. At least, that is the picture that has emerged of the life of the world’s most wanted man since he fled Tora Bora in 2001. But a new and vastly different picture of the Al Qaeda leader's life has been emerging over the past few years. In this scenario, he wakes each morning in a comfortable bed inside a guarded compound north of Tehran. He is surrounded by his wife and a few children. He keeps a low profile, is allowed limited travel and, in exchange for silence, is given a comfortable life under the protection of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The idea that Bin Laden is in Iran got a strong boost recently with the premiere of a documentary called “Feathered Cocaine.”</p>

The inability of theologians to admit their collective cluelessness makes giving kudos to Islamic madmen painful. Yet I am forced to acknowledge that jihadist psychopaths have the minor advantage of uncertainty. While promoting their mass murder, they routinely utter “Allah willing,” a sign that they understand God’s will is both uncertain and indeterminable. Which is why it is safe to say that Allah has abandoned Usama. ... Usama bin Laden’s latest radio rant is further evidence that Allah is unwilling to help Usama or his cruel cause. While claiming to be behind the failed “underwear bomber”, and to be the...

BATRIK — bordering Afghanistan's Nuristan province, inaccessible Chitral district has long been thought to be a refuge for Osama bin Laden. With the high peaks of the Hindu Kush range and narrow valleys, ... easy to dodge through secret mountain routes between Pakistan and Afghanistan. home of the Kalasha, a unique pagan civilization that's lived in the area for 2,000 years or more, boxed in by an increasingly militant Islam. According to locals, bin Laden lived with a Kalasha family in Chitral for some time during his first Afghan jihad, . With his now much more severe ideology, the al...

A banner once displayed in front of an abandoned Al-Qaeda safehouse in Iraq has found a new home at a US military museum.The three-meter-long (10-foot-long) black flag, recovered by a battalion of Marines in Fallujah in November 2004, is now on display at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Virginia.The flag "is believed to be the same banner seen in the atrocious videos broadcast all over the world displaying the torture and executions of many innocent civilians by insurgents and terrorists," according to the text accompanying the exhibit.The flag was found, the narrative went on to say,...

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Republican presidential contender Fred Thompson said Monday that while Osama bin Laden needs to be caught and killed, the terrorist mastermind would get the due process of law.

Is there any method to bin Laden’s madness? After years of not being seen in public, he is apparently surfacing on the eve of the 6th anniversary of his Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Intelligence agencies have stated that Islamic terrorists like to mark anniversaries with attacks. As religious fundamentalists, they may even be motivated by Islam’s interest in numbers or numerology. While the number 6 has little religious significance for Islamics, this Sept. 11 will mark an important number: 72. That’s 72 months since the 9/11 strikes of 2001. Could there be significance in that number? We did some research...

The War on Terror is not a hot agenda item for the Democratic presidential candidates; in fact, one would be hard pressed to conclude that there even is such a thing. The only time we hear about terrorists from the Democratic candidates is when they open their traitorous mouths, proudly voicing their cut-and-run strategy. In their view, Iraq will magically become an earthly Shangri-La as soon as the last of our troops fly out. My, my, my – it is exactly what clear-thinking conservatives have been writing about – the perception that everything is going to be just wonderful as...

The bottomline verdict on yesterday's election is that the majority of American's no longer believe that our democratic republic and western culture (whats left of it) are worth actually fighting to save. It is a terrible shame that we have managed to squander our entire political and cultural inheritance in less than 20 years. But it is the simple fact of the matter.Whether the whore's names are Bush or Clinton really doesn't matter. Our children's birthright has been sold out, lock, stock and barrel for Saudi/Wahabist treasure. Money talks, BS walks.Usama's Wahabist vision of the future of the USA/West is...

Bill Clinton's Rage As He Angrily Defends His Handling Of Bin Laden: Did He Do Enough To Get Al-Qaeda? http://www.vote.com/vote/60412193/ Yes: Bill Clinton said in an interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace, "I tried and I failed to get bin Laden. I regret it, but I did try and I did everything I thought I responsibly could." Blaming Clinton for failing to get Osama is a right-wing conspiracy! NO: Fox News' Chris Wallace asked former President Bill Clinton a legitimate news question about bin Laden and Clinton freaked out. It’s obvious from the attacks on the U.S. on September 11,...

Pakistan not doing enough on terrorism, U.S. saysSat May 6, 2006 7:08 PM ISTBy Yousuf AzimyKABUL (Reuters) - Pakistan is not doing enough to help root out Taliban and al Qaeda leaders who have found safe haven in its lawless tribal lands along the Afghan border, a senior U.S. security official said on Saturday.Most al Qaeda and Taliban leaders are in Pakistan, and while the United States did not know where Osama bin Laden was hiding, he was probably on the Pakistan side of the border, said Henry Crumpton, State Department coordinator for counterterrorism.Pakistan, a vital U.S. security ally, has...

I have said it before, and I will say it again. We are currently engaged in WWIII. The war was started in the early 90’s as Al Qaeda attacked American interests around the world and gain full blown WAR status with September 11. The Left lives in denial by thinking the Iraq war is an isolated conflict started for the wrong reasons. Iraq is the chosen battlefield for the global war on terror, aka WWIII, and the foreign fighters fueling the insurgency there are the evidence. In addition to this we have Hamas assuming power in Palestine. The Israelis have...

The 9/11 Commission tells us in detail that the terrorist attacks on America on 9/11 were set in motion in December 1998. They report that interrogations of the plot's mastermind, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, demonstrate that the plot was set in motion in "late 98 early 99" at a meeting in Khandahar, Afghanistan. This also happens to be the time period that Iraq came under bombardment by the United States. The timing is no accident. They reported that the only time Osama bin Laden was in Khandahar during the time period of "late 98 early 99" was between December 18 and...

I've set out to create a sort of information clearinghouse of post-war information on Iraq's WMDs, ties to terror groups, ties to Al Qaeda in particular, Russia providing aide to Saddam, etc. I wanted to have post with a lot of background so as newly released documents continue to roll in and get translated and liberals whine "so what, this is just one document", we can always link back to this post or find older links in it. It started out mainly just for my personal use, for when I post on developments as they come, I will always link...

EXCLUSIVE Sue Osama Bin Laden Terror chief ... Bin Laden     By DAVID WOODING Whitehall Editor BRITISH tourists maimed in terrorist attacks abroad have been refused Government compensation — and advised to sue OSAMA BIN LADEN.  Scores of victims left penniless and unable to work have had their claims turned down by ministers because they were injured overseas.Trevor Lakin, 56, whose son died in an Egyptian suicide blast, was officially told to seek damages from “the perpetrator”. He said last night: “It beggars belief. How do you sue a suicide bomber?”The grieving dad was appalled by ministers’ response when he begged...

Prevarication by the Pakistani government cost America the chance to kill Osama bin Laden in an airstrike near the Afghan border two years ago, the Sunday Telegraph has been told. A CIA lead that the al-Qaeda leader was hiding in a remote province was squandered because the Pakistani government delayed giving permission for the attack on its soil, according to a senior Western diplomat.By the time US officials got the go-ahead, bin Laden had left the suspected hideout in Zhob, in the Baluchistan province of south-west Pakistan.The near-miss was cited by the diplomat as the reason why America chose not...

...Michael Scheuer, a former CIA officer who tracked bin Laden for 10 years as part of a unit he created, told CBS News anchor Bob Schieffer that this latest threat should be taken "very seriously." (video) The important thing about bin Laden, Scheur says, "is that the coordination between what he says he's going to do and what he does is very nearly 100 percent over the past decade. He's a very deadly serious man." Scheuer said the offer of a truce is "very similar to one he made to the Europeans about two years ago. They paid no attention...

<p>In Massachusetts, an organization known as the Citizens Energy Corporation (CEC) provides low cost heating oil for the state’s disadvantaged each year. On the surface their mission seems laudable; however, the reality is far from valiant. This organization has been used for years by its Chairman, former Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy II (son of the late US Senator and Attorney General, Robert F. Kennedy,) as both a tool for the implementation of his personal political aims and for Kennedy’s own personal financial enrichment. The CEC operates as a non-profit corporation but despite Kennedy’s personal wealth, which is reported to be in the millions of dollars, he receives compensation from his charitable endeavor of $400,000 a year based on CEC financial reports from 2003 (the last year upon which such reports were available).</p>

Four years after President Bush launched a war to oust Osama bin Laden from his hideout in Afghanistan, many are mystified how a polite son of a millionaire construction magnate in Saudi Arabia could turn into the world’s most wanted terrorist. According to many experts, a clue may lie in the life and works of Sayyid Qutb, an Islamic ideologue who was radicalized after an overwhelmingly negative experience in the United States and later imprisoned and executed by Gamal Abdel Nasser’s regime in Egypt in 1966...Qutb’s journey to radicalism started in 1948 when the Egyptian government sent the young school...
