U.S. tightens noose on Osama, Saddam ...

[diplomats]

according to Repuke Sen. Pat Roberts.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts said on Sunday the noose was tightening around both al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Roberts, who receives regular briefings on terror threats, said bin Laden apparently was hiding in a mountainous tribal region with peaks reaching 14,000 feet on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
"But that noose is tightening as well, as is the noose in regards to Saddam Hussein," said Roberts, a Kansas Republican.
Roberts, speaking on CNN's Late Edition, said bin Laden was using couriers and other low-tech communications methods to evade U.S. signal-tracking technology.

Did you lighten the color on that pic of dumbya? For the first time I can see he has a deficit where he was packing a codpiece a few weeks ago. Pitiful.

That's the original. He lost the sock then lost his balance (i.e. drunk off his ass) for the picture.

2. The trouble with

the briefings Pat Roberts gets from the neocons is that they all begin with:

Once upon a time...

8. Ooo! Ooo! I Have a Question!

"So, Senator Roberts, you say that the 'noose is tightening' around Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. Senator, why wasn't the noose fully tight last week? And, since you say that the noose is currently tightening, why isn't the noose already as tight as possible this week?"

9. I thought this was going to be from the Onion...

10. Maybe that's the problem ....

... trying to capture two terrorists with the same noose - won't kill either one.

[paulsbc]

Bin Laden has so many health problems. I just don't see how he could have survived in the mountains that long.
