This is a polite way of describing what General Musharraf is doing, or in this case not doing.

This wouldn't be a very difficult thing for Mushy to do. Just send some guys to the bungalo where Binny is relaxing, bag him, and hand him over to us on the Afghan border, then we can just say we got him, and Mushy could save face.

Then we will have no more use for Pakistan, and then... ;)

Musharraf has a big problem, Pakistan is on the verge of civil war. The so-called threat from India is an organizing and galvanizing tool to keep internal order. Bin Laden is in Balochistan, but Balochistan is an "A" Agency within Pakistan with its own paramilitary sovereignty. Rumsfeld's comments about sovereignty obstacles preventing the capture of bin Laden actually referred to this double layer of sovereignty in Pakistan, and not to the national sovereignty of Iran or the rest of Pakistan.

Musharraf has pledged to turn the "A" Agencies into "B" Agencies and operate freely. Well that is so much loose talk, he knows the Baloch are a fierce enemy in a very harsh land and his military lacks the ability and determination to fight the Baloch, much less dig out bin Laden who is paying big money for the rat hole he's in.

Meanwhile Musharraf can't even militarily face the madrassas cranking out hundreds of terrorists each month. Pakistan is the center of world terrorism and that won't change until Musharraf's dead and we garrison Pakistan. There will be another 9/11, probably an attack on our homeland again, in my opinion, a public ferry. Too many nut-case, freak Muslims and they are all going to Pakistan.

Many will be amazed to learn of OBLs "vaporization" over a year ago up in the Mountains of ToraBora. The AlQeada-Taliban were not about to announce the vaporization of their leader. Thus he exists only in the memory and in the deeds of his fellow thought-travelers.

The revered OBL is dead, finis, a martyr. His Islam shall rule the World is still very much alive.

You're so sure? Here's what the administration is saying;

SF Chronicle | Excerpt: Musharraf remains "a good partner in the global war on terrorism," White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said last Friday after President Bush's latest telephone conversation with the Pakistani leader, a former career military officer who came to power in a coup. "He recognizes the enemy and the nature of the enemy that we are up against" and has taken steps to "go after those who espouse this extremist ideology that preaches hate (and) violence against innocent civilians."
