Bin Laden in custody by Christmas
Bin Laden in custody by Christmas
http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,8522998%5E1702,00.html
From correspondents in Kabul -- January 29, 2004


THE-led coalition in Afghanistan is confident of capturing al-Qaeda terror network chief Osama bin Laden, who has long eluded determined efforts to catch him, by the end of the year, a US military spokesman said today

Lieutenant Colonel Bryan Hilferty said the hunt for militant remnants of the ousted Islamic fundamentalist Taliban regime, including its leader Mullah Omar, bin Laden and former Afghan premier and warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, was continuing.

"Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar and Hekmatyar represent a threat to the world and they need to be destroyed. We believe we will catch them within this year," Hilferty told reporters in Kabul.

1. They've got him, alright. That's pretty clear.

If you're searching for someone, you either have them or you don't. You don't know if you're 2 weeks or 10 years from finding them. You know when you catch them. They've got bin Laden in a cell somewhere.

5. Nonsense.
The constant efforts of a host of nations for the last fourteen years have failed to kill this man.
I seriously doubt they will have any luck any time soon.

7. I Think That The US Has Him....
Will parade him out in October. I also think that "we" are the ones making the tapes of OBL that keep popping up from time to time. "OK, Osama, George needs a little ratings boost. Just talk into the little microphone."

8. I'm dreeaaammming of a Guantanamo Christmas.....

I'm dreaming of a Guantanamo Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know (in 2002)
Where the voter polls glisten
And the media listen
To hear re-election reports in the snow

9. Absolutely! Without a doubt!
junior and the intelligent community must regain the respect of the the American people.

With CIA Director George Tenet and junior and the FBI Director Robert Mueller standing side by side how can junior lose?


The ticker tape parade is in the making.
