I find it amazing that after more than 5 years of searching for Usama the American government now tells the world that he is helping set up terrorist camps in Pakistan. And I'll be Babe Ruth is there with him. Why do you people continue to fool the world with these false accusations. UBL has not been in Pakistan and left Afghanistan just before Tora Bora, now you have to guess where he is and he is not sweeping out tents for his new recruits in Pak

So . . . if our CIA knows where he is (I think they have known for quite a l-o-n-g time), why don't we get busy and blast him straight to Hell's Gates?!? What are our politicians waiting on now?

So, wouldn't it now be appropriate to take action against these new camps? Did someone at the CIA forget about its paramilitary division?

Nah, Its just a bunch of people lying again. Bin Laden doesn't even exist. Remember...Bush lied!!!!!!

If they knew where he was he would be gone. They know nothing. Disappointing but true, sad but even sadder they say where he is and they don't have him. Slackers

So if the CIA has the intel that he's there, why can't they seem to catch him?

guess i was wrong! i thought he was sitting in some Saudi palace making business deals over the phone with the Bush's.

Let's take this in context though. Al-Qaeda is not one man, nor a country. It is in 50 countries and they do not fear death. Nor can we bomb their cities or infrastructure because their infrastructure is in 50 other countries. Our only chance of defeating them is staying on the offense, cutting off their funding, and STAYING UNITED!

Let me get this straight...we will invade a country in the middle east who is suspected of harboring nuclear or chemical weapons but we wont initiate an airstrike or special forces activity against a country that is harboring public enemy #1. Also a country that is the second largest receiver of American Aid. Doesn't make much sence to me.

Why are they admitting in public they know where he is? They must really NOT want to catch him.

AHH~! Interesting, Just as Bush and Cheney
get ready to confront Iran, Osama shows back up with his training camps. I just don't buy it!!

It is certainly a shame if political considerations (respecting Pakistani territorial sovereignty) are preventing us from really fighting the war against Islamic terror. If we know where Bin Laden and Al Zawahri are, they should be taken out and then we can apologize to Pakistan.

Jeez, if we can take a damn picture of bin Laden or Zawahri why can't we send a cruise missle to the area?

These recent statements by the CIA are nothing but BULL! Anyone with an ounce of "intelligence", has known that Bin Laden died of kidney failure in the early part of 2002. The Bush regime have to keep this "boogy man" "alive" in order to justify the phony war on terror and the real war on liberty. Oh, and the trillion dollar defense contractors need to be kept happy as well.

It's time to drop the daisy cutters.

So, why not look up his address, knock on his door, and arrest him?

OsamaBin laden been dead since 2001

"I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."

...Compared to "I am not a crook" and "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," where does this presidential lie rank?

Why arent we hitting it if we know where he is and what he is doing?

Good get them all in one spot so you can get them all at once....

Our government is funding Sunni-Al Qaeda groups according to Sy Hersh, on CNN.
Billions of US dollars missing in Iraq may be being used to re-establish and rebuild these terrorist camps.

Want another 911? continue to ignore:
-Afghanistan and Pakistan in favor of Iraq
-our covert funding of terrorists.

How is it that the intelligence hunter-gatherers know so darn much about Osama and where his boys are hanging around, and what they are doing, but darn it, they just can't seem to drop him.

Really, how many caves does this cat own? Just flatten the whole darn mountain or range for that matter.

I am starting to believe the propaganda machine representing the West in this dog fight actually needs bin Ladin.

Tragic.

If they can take his picture why didn't they shoot him?

Sooner or later the US will have to do something about this, one way or the other. Either Pakistan works with us or we go it alone. We cannot allow al Qaeda training camps to be re-established. The Dems ought to worry more about this situation than anything else. Hopefully, Bush can deal with this situation with President Pervez Musharaff's cooperation. Delicate situation calls for finess first. I have greater faith that Bush or Guiliani could handle this situation to a satisfactory result more than any Democrat curently running for President.

Osama Bin Laden is not in Pakistan. That is to obvious.

Osama Bin Laden is living quite comfortably in the family home in Saudi Arabia. Our esteemed leader knows this, however, he has business ties with the Bin Laden family worth billions. I leave it to you to work out.

Pakistan is a country that feeds, pampers and calls its mercenaris and militants as "Freedom fighters". where else will all these crazy lunatics go?

UBL is in Pakistan, and he has been there since 2002. Now for those who say we should go get him, I say, why don't YOU go get him...to you it all seems so easy.

CLEARLY, Pakistan is the current home of Osama bin Laden and his No. 2 man, Ayman al Zawahri. And clearly, he has been hiding out there for years. It is also very evident that Pakistani officials have covered up, denied, and otherwise naysay this reality while all the while nurturing this relationship. I have just one question: How many BILLIONS of taxpayer DOLLARS has the USA paid Pakistan to perpetuate this ongoing slap in our face. Check my math, but in human terms, this little war is also costing us thousands of US servicemen’s lives.

To the point: WE CAN NOT TOLERATE BEING LIED TO ANY MORE! THE USA MUST DO WHAT IT MUST TO BRING JUSTICE (and yes, revenge) TO THE SURFACE. Show the world that we are nobody’s fool ! What is it going to take to have America wake up to this treacherous scam.

Bush said during the debates he wasnt concerned about Bin Laden and it looks like he was right. If we had concentrated on finding him and cleaning up Al Queda in Afganistan instead of going into Iraq the world would be a lot safer and the US would be held in higher regard around the world.

These comments posted on this website indicates the stupidity of people we have in America. Stupid remarks such as why has not U.S. military caught OBL? False accusations...Bush lies?...This one is my favorite---And I'll be Babe Ruth is there with him?..I mean just re-read your comments and you'll know who is making "false accusations", or if "Bush is lying", Where do you people get your information? The left-wing lunacy? Let's be realistic, The CIA knew and speculated that Osama has been hiding between the borders of Pakistan and Afghanastan.That is no surprise since the media spoke of this since 2002. Secondly, another problem exist, The U.S. military and CIA may not be able to execute Osama because of conflictual(War)implications with other dangerous countries such as Pakinstan and other countries as well as an "All-out-War" with the "Islamofacists" terror groups. Meaniong an attack U.S. embassy and also Israel is certain.People Think before you say something because we so-called Americans "Think we know" everything but we don't. Remeber, your enemy will defeat you in every corners of your life if you do not know your enemy. And Please George W. Bush is not one of them. God gave us a brain, so let's use it wise.

Get a clue folks. We have been bamboozled and led astray. Bin Laden's been dead for awhile. And 9/11 was an inside job.

Most of you are pathetic. You see conspiracies where there are none and you hate based on political party not intelligence or reasonable, logical conclusions.

To those on the left - do you think you and your party are without "sin"??? What would you have done after 9/11? Specifically. What would you do NOW? Specifically? Details, please.

To those on the right - you are fallable as well.

It's time everyone realized - we all make mistakes, we are all human, and we all must live together. Instead of bitching or condemning, why not help solve the problem?

Bin Drinking....and Bin Smokin have been found in Pakistan.......their cousin Bin Workin has lost his job.....are we not fed up with this already?...

The reason why we are considered idiots to the world is because we are! We can never win this fight. That region has been at war for years and will continue to be for many more. These people are irrationale and ignornant and I mean both the goverment and the locals. We are truly wasting our time and putting our troops in harms way. Lets leave now and start putting billions into our security..borders, local police, ports, airports, etc. In other words lets stop being to stupid!

Please end this madness. He said, she said, I can't wait until this administration packs and leaves Washington forever, I really miss the Clinton scandals, they were more fun, don't you think..

There is a disconnect for any person that lives in america when they here about bin laden supposed location. just because they think they know where he is, they cant just call the local police and get him. these countries are desolate and about 1000 years behind us in infrastructure. people are so quick to say get out of Irag and get bin laden. We would have 50,000 dead soldiers if we went inot the mountatins of pakistan.

It is all too late. Look at all these posts here, most of them are negative about the war on terror. We all wanted to fight this war when the towers were burning on our TV's. When we were seeing people jump from them to escape being burned to death we were all thinking somebody has to be bombed.

Now, the war is going on for longer and longer because we are seeing that it is a WORLD WAR! We have no help from the world at this point and now it is us against it. Please people remember our people who died on 9/11. Keep that fight against EVIL going. It is truly Biblical in nature. Don't be deceived. Fighting against evil is what we should be doing. That is Terrorism, Iran, etc. We must do this, it is our calling of freedom.

If we do not fight them now, our homes will begin to be bombed, as well as our streets and schools. Then everyone will cry for war again.

If there is 100 houses and we do not know which exact one to hit, Don't you think Osama and his lenchmen will be on the run now from the latest news? Go Mr Bush. Do us proud. IRAN have you noticed your new neighbors on your East and West???????

Convenient. That's what this is. What amazes me is this is the only issue where conservatives and liberals agree- not finding Bin Laden is BS. Of all the things our military can do, how smart those guys are (yes, John Kerry, they're smart), the amount of intelligence we have, hell we can take a picture of a glof ball from space...and we can't find this guy? If they say he's training camps, why aren't we stopping him? HOW do we know this, but we don't know how to catch him? I'm afraid to tell all the people that want Bin Laden's head on a pole, marched down 5th Ave. that it's never gonna happen. The longer he goes free, the less important 9/11 becomes. And if he's dead, where the hell is his body? We can pull Sadam from a rat hole and we can't find Bin Laden. If bin Laden is so much smarter than us, why isn't HE our president? (Heavy sarcasm there) This is embarrassing to me as an American, the World's Superpower and we can't find one guy. They tell us we know, but we do nothing, indicates we know nothing.

If it weren't for the endless politics of Musharaff, who seems to be holding back (maybe for more money), our soldiers could stop tip-toeing thru the tulips of Pakistan and finish the work. Zawahri has a well defined spot of a target smack in the middle of his empty skull forhead. How hard can it be to blast him and that other SOB, bin Laden, into smithereens? Pakistan needs to get its act together already.

What I don't understand is why is the American Government more concerned about defending Poland and Czechoslovakia than supplying American kids in Iraq proper body Armor -- this just doesn't make sense.

I am also hearing murmurs about the size of the Chinese army and its attempts to knock out sattelites from space which presumably cannot be consistent with its desire to peacefully become a world power.

I think if we hear anymore lies coming from OUR gov't we go ahead with a regime change here !

Sounds like just another "right-wing conspiracy theory" to me.

These reason for soft peddling Pakistan is that Musharaf is a tenuous leader at best but is not a radical like most of the country. The fear being that a major strike by the US in Pakistan would cause the rest of the radicals to revolt because Musharaf allowed the US to make an attack in Pakistan or the radicals would revolt because Musharaf didn't declare the US an enemy after making an attack on UBL in Pakistan. Either way, there is a real danger that the radicals in Pakistan kill or oust Musharaf and gain control of Pakistan's nuclear weapons, a scary thought. Musharaf is far from perfect but he rules over a real powder keg and UBL knows it and that is why he is there. In addition, Pakistan's version of the CIA the ISI is big buddies with UBL and Musharaf does not have complete control of the ISI. It will take some amount of juggling to create a condition to allow for UBL's destruction without igniting the Pakistan powder keg. Remember the vast majority of Al Qeda members aside from radical Saudi's are Pakistani like the London Bombers. We want Bin Laden but we don't want a radical revolution in Pakistan with nuclear weapons and missiles.

The games "three card monty" and "hide the pea" come to mind. As Eisenhower said,"beware the military industrial complex". Without these wars, where would the U.S economy be now? If we had taken just half of the money these incompetants have squandered on the war against terrorism and invested it in cutting our dependence on foreign oil (mid east)the funders of America`s enemies would be swimming in their own oil and headed for the poor house. The U.S. symbiotic relationship the U.S. has with Pakistan is but one example of the hipocracy which rules Washington. We American should be able to thrive without making bed fellows of our enemies. Let`s show some resolve to be done with Bush and his war based economy.

Bin Laden "Intellingence" is just the CIA's way of taking the heat off of him where ever he really is. (Probably Saudi Arabia, or already dead) They just have to drudge up this crap every so often to rally the people behind a "war" that we're all starting to see the cracks in. Next they'll say he's in Iran. (not really but you get the point)

Pakistan's done more against the Taliwags than any other country.They do not want the U>S>A> in there country.So I believe our oxymoron intelligence will say or do anything to try to ex-cert their will power over Pakistan who are doing a great job.

OBL IS DEAD! HIS CARCASS IS ROTTING IN A CAVE UNDER TONS OF RUBBLE AND WILL NEVER BE FOUND.

If he were alive he would've appeared on video. others have and it is NOT harder to get a video out than it is to get a audio tape out .(PERIOD!)AND video does NOT give away his whereabouts . (PERIOD!) Please refute if you are able...otherwise, I say he is dead until it is prooven otherwise.

im often amazed on how misinformed and uneducated these comments are. perhaps those of you that are wondering why we havent gone in there if we know for certain these guys are there should learn a little about that area of the world especially these tribal regions and the stance of the pakistan government.

OK, so let me get this straight. You whiny liberals wanted us OUT of Afghanistan and to stay away from Iraq, Iran and North Korea. You have, in fact, labeled the U.S. overthrow of Saddam as "illegal."

So now, you lefties WANT Bush to invade Pakistan to nab Osama?

Really? Why is Pakistan any different from Iraq? Riddle me that, liberals?

Or can you?

Another lie.
Remember for Irak. M. Bush did not hesitate to lie to the American people and to the World.

Most of you folks speak as if you fell out of a tree yesterday. Pakistan is an unstable MUSLIM country with at least a handfull of nuclear bombs run by a fairly benevolant dictator who has NO control over the Afgan border. For the USA to cross their border and take military action would probably be the tipping point, helping the radical Pakistanis remove Musharrif and install someone like Ahmadinejad who will then have readily usable nuclear devices with a few different delivery systems and the world's 8th largest army...As sworn enemies of India and Israel, the only question is who they would attack first and when. Perhaps before this they would link up with the Taliban, Hezbollah and Iran to take control of 60% of the world's known oil supply and cripple the West's economy and strategic means of countering their aggression. Study the implications and you will realize that it is not all about killing one goofball who got through our domestic defenses while we were preoccupied with other things more important, like sex and money.

Why do you guys think Bush and the U.S. have put so much pressure on Pakistan to clamp down on terrorism? Unlike Iraq, Pakistan is a United Nations member and has nukes.

But what you would rather have the U.S. do? Invade Pakistan? But isn't invading countries the reason why the U.S. is so "allegedly" hated by the world, and have Democrats crying in their bowls of Cheerios?

You can, or can't. There's no in-between...

It is a good thing that Bin Laden is building training camps for Al Qaeda recruits in Waziristan. Once they become established, we can locate them and bring fire upon them. Now that Waziristan has established itself as an autonomous area, Pakistan will not feel compelled to object when we go after the bad guys there.

The bottom line is all about money, oil, and oh yes more money and keeping the pockets of the Bush's & Cheaney's lined for generations to come....DId we all forget that this whole scenario happened on Bush's watch....and it all started when.......gee the majority of AMERICA voted for someone else...and we "HAD" a surplus of money but now that each of us got an extra $135 dollars we are soooooooooomuch better off for it now right!!! PUHLEEESE

I thank God that all of you have a day job and just like to gossip, because for not having anymore information than what the media gives you, you sure seem to have alot of "resources" and "assets" at your fingertips to gather your own intelligence and perform your own analysis......wow, unbelievable where some of you are coming from......

UBL is just another pawn in this really sick game that we america are playing in this world and yes we are all to blame because we continue to vote for the lyeing jerks that run this country. be it dem's or republicans. It reallt is time for change the biggest threat to our country is not UBL it is us.

Daisy Cutters is right...good comment

How many of our Marines and soldiers do we have to maime and kill before we realize we are not going to win this thing? Exactly what is it we are doing in Afghanistan? How can one, high profile man like this continue to hide from our CIA? Do they really even want to find him? I'm confused by the whole Afghanistan and Iraq fiasco. I find it ironic that this article comes out the morning after Bob Woodruff's show last night. I'm a life long Republican but am starting to think I'd rather see a president in the white house having consensual sex with an aid than a president who sends our boys to a war that is senseless. Anyone remember Vietnam?

The truth is Osama is always between Iran and Pakistan's tribal areas. When it gets hot he runs back to Iran protection, but to admit that publically would open a whole can of worms - but until we do we can't kill the worms - no matter who protects them lets do it already

Ssmith - tell the 3000+ families that were torn apart on Sept 11, 2001 that this war on terror is "phony"...bet there are many who will vehemently disagree with your assessment...

All the simpletons here think we should just show up and kill Bin Laden. If you don't think that literally hundreds of Americans have dedicated themselves to this single goal, for years on end, with every available technology and money, then you are a complete fool. Of course we are, and of course, we will get him.

It is a matter of time.

This whole issue of Osama being in Pakistan is as big of a joke as the current Administration which is so called running this country. Isn't it convienent at a time when Bush is asking for additional funding for the war that Osama is spotted in Pakistan? What a joke.

Bin Laden, if he is indeed still alive, is on the Afghan/Paki border. Here you will find 10mm Pastuns who support Taliban and fundamental Islam. They also have a custom of "protecting" those who seek shelter. This area is in reality the "Wild West" and the Paki government has virtually no control over it. Hence, you are seeking the needle in the haystack. How do I know? Been there, done that.

How quickly the details become obscured. Remember; Osama bin Laden is an old business partner of G W Bush, and Bush believes in personal loyalty above all. He won't allow an old friend of his and his family's to die on his watch. Secondly, you overlook the now discovered fact that Bush is again funding Al Qaeda, as his party did before him (his father, Reagan, et. al.) in order to further the Republican vendetta against Shiíte Muslims in Iraq (people we say we're protecting), and Iran (vendetta going back to 1980). I realize it keeps getting confusing, as the Republicans in power shift back and forth paying and paying off the same people it claims to be at war with (as in Iran-Contra), but it has been the basic Republican pattern thus far.

The oddest thing; there are days it seems that the Bush Administration is trying to see just how outrageously they can behave before Congress or the American public reacts. Now that we condone bombing civilians in Baghdad and have returned to funding bin Laden, it appears we don't care, and will allow our Executive to do anything he pleases.

To MATT, who said we should just go get him if we think it's so easy...
We train people do do that job. I am a trained professional, and I do my job very well. Shouldn't they?
And let's not forget, we managed to send people to the moon on the computing power of a calculator. I DO NOT ACCEPT the notion that there is anything we as a nation cannot do.
I'm well aware that it's not easy, but I'm tired of people saying it's impossible. Just do the job!

Now that we know OBL's address, perhaps the USA could end this whole WOT early if we sent Oliver North over to Pakistan with a nice birthday cake for him, along with a check.

The CIA created bin Laden for their own purposes and they're keeping him hidden and equipped for the same reasons.

Read Seymour Hersh. Open your eyes. The military-industrial complex is actively funding al Qaeda to keep the jobs and money flowing to themselves.

The reason he remains free is because we don't want to offend Saudi Arabia.

Such pea wits! Finding Bin Laden was an INTELLIGENCE problem, not a military force issue...and given that he stepped over the border into Pakistan, creates diplomatic questions with that ally. Going into Iraq was legal, and doctrinal enforcement of resolve. Activists forget that Saddam was shooting down our aircraft (including one on 9/11/2001!!!). It doesn't matter it the public "doesn't get it", us professionals do.

I am surprised that Bush did not claim Osama is in IRAN.

Who knows what to believe. The Bush Administration has been repeatedly dishonest with the American people. I have to assume everything they say is a lie because I don't know when they decide to be honest or if they are ever honest. Dick Cheney has the credibility of a used car salesman.

The reason why we haven't sent troops or missles into Pakistan to get Bin Laden, even though we KNOW he is there, is actually quite simple: If we invade Pakistan, President Mushariff will very likely be overthrown for allowing us to invade or failing to stop us. Although he is an imperfect ally, we need him in power because his moderate regime is the only thing between Pakistan's nuclear weapons and the radical muslims who want to overthrow him. Mushariff's precarious political situation is also the reason why he only pretends to look for Bin Laden even though we pay his government billions of dollars to complete the task.

Just when you need something you reach into your pocket and pull out a saber-tooth tiger and scare everyone in the room. Nice trick, but sadly an old pathetic trick.

News flash up-date, Osama Bin Laden is DEAD and has been for years. As for the other guy Ayman al Zawahri - My message is simple, now is the time for him to become room temperature.

satellite photos spotted him - a tactical missle wasn't deployed. hmmmmm. is this preparing us for a reason to go into Pakistan? hmmmmm. Osama doesn't exist! a boogyman! another day another buncha lies courtesy of the CIA industrial military complex.

get a clue lemming!

When Newt gets in , he will take care of the situation. Man of action. Bunch of neer do wells in wash right now.

gata

If OBL wer to be caught, then who would Bush and company rally around to continue fighting a money making war for himself and friends (i.e., Haliburton, etc)

President Cheney obviously doesn't care about fighting terrorism. (Bush is of course a moron who must receive instructions via radio when speaking in public). Osama is a great bogey-man to frighten Americans with but obviously Cheney could care less about brining him to justice. Cheney is using the bogus "war on terror" for political advantage, and to distract us from other more important issues like trade, immigration, fiscal policy, etc. You have a better explanation?

Sure is easy for us to do the 'monday morning quarter backing' while we're sitting in our comfy homes in front of computers complaining. Have any of you taken a look at the Terrain our military personal have to endure? Have you taken the time to learn about the different war lords and religious clerics who rule the people and the land that our military personal have to endure? It isn't as easy as some of you folks think it is. Why didn't Clinton kill UBL when he had the chance in the late 1990's, maybe 9/11 would NOT HAVE HAPPENED!! Have a great day all!

Why don't they just send in DOG the Bounty Hunter?
When are people in this country going to realise that OBL is considered a folk hero in the middle east? Allowing OBL to be captured would be like America handing over Davie Crocket or Daniel Boone.

Oh my God people. Bin Laden is dead. This is being used as propaganda to support an invasion of Iran. Next we are going to hear that Iran is funding Bin Laden. Then there will be a "terrorist" attack so that the administration can blame it on the "Iranian backers" of Bin Laden so that we can invade. Please, people, wake up!!! You guys are falling for globalist controlled neo-con brainwashing. :(

For all you people asking the seemingly obviousquestion: If we know where he is why don't we go in there and kill or capture him? THe answer is simple. if you follow the events of the last week, (i.e. Vice Pres. Dick Cheney's impromptu visit with Pakistani Pres. Musharef, you can understand that this is neither political or opportunistic on the Bush Administration's part. All news accounts yesterday stated that Cheney showed proof of the Administration's claims and delivered a strong message that Pakistan cooperate more.

Besides this, if our intelligence is not precise, up to the second, we run the risk of innocent civilians dying and the backlash from people who already view us as the enemy. In order to root out Al Quaeda's No.1 and No.2 leaders, we need Pakistan's help. Afterall, they are a sovereign nation.

Cheney did not go on tv to make the claim about Bin Laden being in Pakistan, rather he went directly to Pakista's President with proof in a private meeting.
Because of the blinding vitriolic hatred that the left has for Bush, every policy and every move is under unreasonable scrutiny just because they have been conditioned by the media to do so.

The rugged tribal area is quite expansive, likely no house addresses posted! The article only stated that people in the intelligence community have "speculated" that there "may" be surveillance photos of one of the two, or perhaps both. That is not the level of intelligence a government should operate on. If innocents were killed during large scale bombing attacks, which it wou
