Nato official: Bin Laden, deputy hiding in northwest Pakistan

[Rochester]

Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri are believed to be hiding close to each other in houses in northwest Pakistan, but are not together, a senior NATO official said.

"Nobody in al Qaeda is living in a cave," said the official, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the intelligence matters involved.

Rather, al Qaeda's top leadership is believed to be living in relative comfort, protected by locals and some members of the Pakistani intelligence services, the official said.

This is encouraging. Maybe now's the time we finally catch him.
I won't hold my breath though.

1. And themedia will lap it up for the Thugs

who whines that they are right, when later it is discovered that it is yet another CIA fabrication ordered by Poppy and Cheney (while Chimpy was coked up on crack and his beloved J & B). Who laps it up the most? Stupid freepers and teabaggers.

And who benefits? The Thugs, God of War.

I am not buying this crap this time.

They've already cried wolf too many times. Osama Bin Laden has been dead since Tora Bora in 2002, and has NOT been confirmed or independently verified to be ALIVE.

So shove that fucking boogeyman up your asses, Thugs. You're not fooling me one fucking bit.

3. I am not one who believes that he is dead, but

this is still so 'duhhh...' If you don't think he is dead, then you know he is assuredly in Northwest Pakistan in someone's house, and has been for quite some time. No particular reason to believe he is in a cave.

If the 'socialist' Obama manages to be CIC when an undead bin Laden is captured, it will be funny (but sad) to watch the absurdities of the Right as the spin begins. "He's fucking up the prosecution! It should be a military trial! Just like Bush would have done. With Saddam!" Or some such. :eyes:

13. Indeed. Then the right would want it Texas style.

Quick and swift execution.

And for whose benefit?

I honestly feel that Osama ghost yanking everyone's chains just before All Hallow's Eve... And it's just all bullshit.

I think they're just scraping the bones....

2. Oh gee. I'm so glad to be reading about that on CNN

That will be real helpful toward catching him.

4. I doubt very much that the report is true

But, if it was, you can be sure he is long gone from there.

8. Every Christmas eve NOAA tracks Santa on radar

and still many don't believe Santa is alive despite this proof. Oh, doubting iamtechus, what will it take to convince you?

:evilgrin:

5. Tell us something we don't know. nt

6. I thought he was hiding out on the

French Riviera along with Ken Lay waiting for things to cool down a bit,or the call to star in a fear monger commericial.

Maybe he's in Windmere outside of Orlando FL, they don't give out residents names due to security reasons.

7. What a pile of horseshit? CNN is crap. Pure crap.

This is news?

Para 1: are believed to be
Para 2: declined to be named
Para 3: believed to be
Para 5: likely to have
Para 6: believed to have
Para 9: would not discuss how the coalition has come to know any of this information

Useless information from a useless official by a useless propaganda, I mean news, organization.

[Yeahyeah]

9. So sad that Bush and Cheney haven't stayed close like Ayman and Osama.

[boston bean]

10. We must invade Pakistan. nt

[DirkGently]

12. I think that's the real message. Get ready for War No. 3. Gotta keep the ball rolling.

11. Retro News day Circa 2002

And next they will print Republicans make gains in off year election.

[gateley]

15. Do we really WANT to catch him? Hasn't Al Q essentially exponentially

grown and no longer turns to OBL for guidance? Is he as powerful as he once was?

So much of that part of the world hates us already for what we've done in Iraq and Afghanistan, what would happen if we really DID capture him?
