I certainly hope they get him. It surprises me how he has been able to evade capture for so long.

i saw this early this morning:

US scotches reports on bin Laden's capture

Quote:
The US has scotched reports coming out of Pakistan that its forces have captured Osama bin Laden.

''That would be news to everybody in this room. No, I haven't heard anything -- haven't heard anything like that,'' spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters at the White House here yesterday.

Asked to clarify what prompted President Pervez Musharraf to say a couple of weeks ago that Pakistani forces would have bin Laden by the year-end, the spokesman said, ''I speak for the President.

Obviously, I don't speak for President Musharraf.'' As for whether the capture of bin Landen would signal the end of the war on terrorism, McClellan said the war on terrorism would continue.

More info
Quote:
The Pak Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has however denied that bin Laden has been boxed in. "I do not have any such information." Another official said that Laden was not the immediate target of the operations that were being mounted but "they would hopefully net clues that would ultimately lead to the 'biggest evil'."

i knew it was false hype by the media, thats why i never posted it, no need for misinformation.... :shrug:

I reckon he'd blow himself up if there was a real chance that he was about to be captured. Exit one Bin Laden, Enter one "martyr".

Re: bin laden cornered
 
When they have him in custody then I will believe it and be prepared to comment.Until then this is just speculation.

Yes I totally agree with on this. I will believe when I see it. You can't trust the media. :)

I agree. He is as valuable to his cause dead as alive.

Re: bin laden cornered
 
here is a little light relief on the subject
Quote:
Dozens of the fiercely independent Pashtuns tribes live in the region. Most of them are tall and bearded. They wear the loose trousers and long shirts that bin Laden adopted when he moved to Afghanistan in 1995.

If bin Laden is hiding among them, as US officials operating across the border in Afghanistan believe he is, it will be difficult to single him out from other bearded tribesmen, all of whom carry guns.
:D

Nah, they won't capture Bin Laden yet, not until the week before the US Presidential elections... :cynical: (damn, no smiley for that!)

I dunno, something tells me he's not that much of a believer himself, he's a leader for the power it gives him, just a few things people who have met him have said.
But then, he's known to be quite unstable so he may do it, but I expect "oh bugger" to go through his mind just after he activates the bomb

This is interesting."
Quote:
In the years before the 11 September terrorist attacks the CIA carried out a secret but ultimately unsuccessful manhunt for bin Laden," writes Mr Coll. "It was based at first on a band of Afghan tribal agents and later expanded to include other agents and allies, especially the legendary guerrilla leader Ahmed Shad Massoud.

"But the search became mired in mutual frustrations, near misses and increasingly bitter policy disputes in Washington between the Clinton White House and the CIA."

One plan to snatch bin Laden from a farm where he was known to spend time with one of his wives was abandoned because of fears innocent by-standers could be killed or injured during the operation.

More news

Bin Laden aide warns of more attacks on US
DUBAI: A top Al Qaeda leader warned US President George W Bush in an audiotape broadcast yesterday to prepare for more attacks on the United States.

Quote:
Admirers of Bill McRaven like to tell a story of his courage and grit. Not against the enemy, but against the legendarily ruthless Dick Marcinko, a gung-ho Navy SEAL commander in the Vietnam era who used to swallow sacs of cobra venom and boast that "killing is my mission." Marcinko once ordered McRaven, then a young lieutenant on the super-elite SEAL Team Six, to perform "some questionable activities," recounts a former Special Forces commander. McRaven refused and "would not back down." (Marcinko did not return phone calls seeking comment.) "McRaven was a hero among all the junior officers for his stand," says the commander. "It was considered a career-ending move."

Not quite. William H. McRaven, it seems, was too good an officer. Today he is a rear admiral, and his new job is one that could not rank higher on President George W. Bush's to-do list in election year 2004: nailing Osama bin Laden. It is a job that will require much ruthlessnessâ↡¬â€a good deal more of that, perhaps, than personal honor. NEWSWEEK has learned that McRaven is heading up Task Force 121, a covert, miniature strike force with a command structure so secretive that McRaven's role hasn't even been reported until now.
