Bush Confident Bin Laden Will Be Captured

[maddezmom]

KABUL, Afghanistan - President Bush, on an unannounced visit to Afghanistan, said Wednesday he remains confident Osama bin Laden "will be brought to justice" despite a so-far futile five-year hunt.

Bush also suggested that the United States and India, where he was headed next, have still not reached a deal over U.S. help for India's civilian nuclear program.

"People all over the world are watching the experience here in Afghanistan," Bush said as he stood side-by-side with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Amid extremely tight security, Bush made the surprise visit in Afghanistan at the onset of a scheduled visit to India and Pakistan.

2. Some surprise visit--he just happened to be the neighborhood

As for capturing Bin Laden, that won't end the war on terror--the insurgency will not lay down their arms. Oh, and aren't there riots going on in an Afghani jail?

not to mention all the others in between. :)

"People all over the world are watching the experience here in Afghanistan," ROTFLMAO - People all over the world are hearing two extremely loud screeching monkeys.

9. It will be soon...I predict it will happen when the approval gets below 30

[HuffleClaw]

10. 'surprise visit' my ass

how they expect anyone to believe their constant onslaught of poor propaganda i do not know. its become farcical.

[Evergreen Emerald]

24. I agree

It is farcical, comical, and tragic. How anyone can continue to believe the obvious lies is beyond me.

[Robeson]

11. And at this point, so what if he did?.....

...we've created generations of terrorists in Iraq. You think they will ever forgive the U.S. for blowing up their homes, mothers, daughters, sons, fathers? In other words, all they love and identify with? How many of us would forgive someone for doing the same?

12. The technology of the satellite system that can read a

license plate number cant find the tallest man in the Arab world pulling behind him a dialysis machine.Perhaps he went over there to capture him single handedly..and save the 25 mill.

[arewenotdemo]

75. no, you've got it all wrong

The terrain over there is very RUGGED. They have MOUNTAINS, very steep MOUNTAINS. He's most likely in some LAWLESS, TRIBAL area of Pakanistan where even the Pakistanis couldn't go.

[INdemo]

82. why dont you go

and suck up to your freeper buddies....and take advantage of your Rush Slimebaugh subscription.....

[arewenotdemo]

84. I guess I should have used the sarcasm smilie.

I'm on your side, bro!

To me the whole thing is completely absurd....they even say they know (roughly) where he is, and yet they won't go in and get him? They and Musharraf speak as if finding him is a next-to-impossible task, which is utter bullshit.

AFAIC, fuck the Pakistanis! If they don't control the area, the U.S. had an obligation to go in and take OBL out. I just can't believe the stupid American public let the Cheerleader-in-Chief off the hook on this matter and let him instead launch an illegal invasion of a nation that had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.

It seems now that Bush never intended to catch OBL. He took care of the family by flying them back to Saudi Arabia and then waited several months before sending even Special Forces in to Afghanistan.

[INdemo]

92. Sorry,guess I jumped to conclusions

and I was probably having a bad day.......
Well you are correct,Osama should have been caught already..they outsourced that job to former Taliban troops.
I would like someone to tell what are we fighting for in Iraq now,the elections are over etc,etc.....(OIL?)

[underpants]

13. I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees

and we aren't going to get involved in an Iraqi civil war.

Anyone got a credible source to quote from?

[mwooldri]

14. What is it GW? One minute you're not concerned about him the next...

... you're stating that he will be captured?

How do you spell f-l-i-p f-l-o-p ? Ah, I know!

B-u-s-h L-i-e-s !

15. Osama more welcomed in Pakistan than Bush

Lahore - When President Bush lands in Islamabad later this week, it may be the closest he ever comes to being in the same neighborhood as Osama bin Laden. His nemesis is probably only a few hours drive away in Pakistan's Pashtun belt, now considered to be al Qaeda Central and one of the world's most dangerous regions.

During the past 12 months or so, CIA and Pentagon officials have quietly modified the line they employed for three years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks - that bin Laden was hiding out "in the tribal areas along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border." Now the same officials say with some confidence that he is "not based in Afghanistan." Whatever ambiguity there was in the past is gone: Bin Laden is in Pakistan.

What's left is the question: What are the United States and its ally, Pakistan, doing about it?

Not enough, according to high-ranking Afghan, Pakistani and Western officials I've spoken to here. Indeed, the disastrous policies of the United States and Pakistan, starting with the aftermath of the war in 2001, have only hastened the radicalization of northwest Pakistan and made it more hospitable to bin Laden and his Taliban allies. The region has become a haven for bin Laden and a base for Taliban raids across the border back into Afghanistan which they had fled.

He's Welcome in Pakistan

Few Afghan Pashtuns would have dared to betray him then. But times have changed in Afghanistan. The majority of Afghan Pashtuns now want the benefits of peace - economic development, roads and schools.

Pakistan's Pashtuns, by contrast, have become more radicalized than they ever were before 9/11. And the bloody Taliban-al Qaeda resurgence now under way has relied on Pakistan's Pashtun belt for most of its recruitment, logistics, weapons and funding.

Bin Laden's new friendship zone stretches nearly 2,000 miles along Pakistan's Pashtun belt - from Chitral in the Northern Areas near the Chinese border, south through the troubled tribal agencies including Waziristan, down to Zhob on the Balochistan border, then to the provincial capital Quetta and southwest to the Iranian border. The region includes every landscape from desert to snow-capped mountains. Sparsely populated, it provides bin Laden an ideal sanctuary.

[arewenotdemo]

78. "The region includes every landscape from desert to

Sounds very nice.

16. George didn't personally capture him with his souvenir

One Moment in Time
Our age of revolution.

.....This historical moment is not easy to understand, since we are in transition from a relatively stable world, dominated by a handful of major powers, to something we cannot yet define, since it is up to us to shape it. It seems clear, however, that there is a greater rapidity of change, accompanied — inevitably — by the passing of the leaders of the old order. This is particularly clear in the Middle East, where seven key figures have been struck down in the past six years: King Hussein of Jordan in February, 1999. King Hassan of Morocco in July of the same year. Syrian dictator Hafez al Assad in June of 2000. Yasser Arafat of the PLO in April, 2004. King Fahd of Saudi Arabia in May of last year. Ariel Sharon of Israel was incapacitated by a stroke in early January. And, according to Iranians I trust, Osama bin Laden finally departed this world in mid-December. The al Qaeda leader died of kidney failure and was buried in Iran, where he had spent most of his time since the destruction of al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The Iranians who reported this note that this year's message in conjunction with the Muslim Haj came from his number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, for the first time.

70. Egads! Can you believe they're still hawking "Useful Idiots"?

Someone gave me that book for Christmas a couple of years ago; I only leafed through it so see how Mona Charlatan would explain away the fact that the first 9/11 blame-America salvo was fired by Falwell and Robertson. Sure enough, she mentions it quickly deeming it unfortunate and then resumes blaming the left for blaming America.

[eridani]

88. The Egyptians say he died in December 2001 of lung failure

See the bin Laden research link.

[tenshi816]

89. That's OK, if OBL is dead,

and if a "capture" ever happens, they'll just substitute a lookalike they find somewhere.

[raccoon]

19. Isn't it amazing the way the feds knew within 24 hours who did

the 9/11 hijackings, yet 4 1/2 years later they "can't find" the anthrax mailer not Osama Bin Forgotten?

[hatrack]

20. Let me guess - there's "no doubt in his mind"?

:puke:

[C_U_L8R]

21. Sorry George..

your numbers still suck.

lets see if you finally thaw out OBL so you can return with his head.
That might get you a point or two.

22. Anyone want to buy my bridge?

Who in the hell believes this shit? Here we are nearly five years later and no closer than we were when we started this little fuckup.
It wouldn't matter if they dragged his rotting corpse through the streets of DC, his ideas and hatred live on, fuck you georgie*.

[jamesinca]

23. I am sure of it too

Scooter rolling over a little harder on Dick, DeLay jailed for his shenanigans, the House and Senate in Dem control this time next year, impeachment papers served, war crimes being pressed on you by congress and an approval rating at -3% (that is in the allowable +/-3% MOE). Karl being marched out of the WH in cuffs for something, not sure what thing he will be jailed for yet. He will be found about that time. That is when I think it will happen.

[abluelady]

25. Didn't He Say He Wasn't Giving bin Laden much thought?

WTF is the matter with our fellow Americans. How can we allow this moron to stay in office?????

[sinkingfeeling]

26. Maybe that's why Chimp took 5000 security people with him...he's

going to capture bin Laden himself.

[Radio_Guy]

27. There is no "Osama bin Laden"

Bush's Saudi friends allowed him to use that name for a make-believe bogeyman so SuperBush can keep fighting "terra." Reminds me of my niece watching Spongebob. Dick Cheney and George Bush playing the parts of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. :hide:

[apnu]

28. If Bush isn't worried about his poll numbers why pull out the Bogey-man?

Again!

Methinks he doth protest too much.

[corporatemedia]

29. "He can hide, but he cannot run"

[Nightwing]

30. * doesnt want to capture his best freind

Who has done more for the idiot than Osama?? So why the hell would he want to capture and excecute the man??

[Virginia Dare]

31. The Chimpy show has jumped the shark...

They need new writers, or maybe a fresh new charactor, like some lovable fat oaf who moves in next door to 1600 Pennsylvania or something. Perhaps he and Condi can finally consumate their simmering love for one another a la Ross and Rachel.

[tenshi816]

90. Or how about a Cousin Oliver,

or maybe they should bring in Ted McGinley, the patron saint of shark jumping.

32. Bush Says Osama bin Laden Will Be Brought to Justice

Bush Says Osama bin Laden Will Be Brought to Justice

March 1 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush, on a surprise trip to Afghanistan today, said he was "confident"" the fugitive al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden will be "brought to justice."

Bush made an unannounced detour on his way to India and landed at Bagram Air Base amid heavy security at about 1 p.m. local time. He met President Hamid Karzai in Kabul, where the two leaders held a joint press conference.

"I am confident he will be brought to justice," as well those who plot with him, Bush said when asked about progress in hunting down the mastermind behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. "It is not a matter of 'if' they are captured but just when they are brought to justice."

Bush later landed in New Delhi, where thousands of demonstrators were gearing up to protest his visit...

42. "I truly am not that concerned about him."

Q But don't you believe that the threat that bin Laden posed won't truly be eliminated until he is found either dead or alive?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run. I was concerned about him, when he had taken over a country. I was concerned about the fact that he was basically running Afghanistan and calling the shots for the Taliban.
