CIA Rushing Resources to Bin Laden Hunt

Does ABC News want to politically bust the Pakistani government’s chops?

If true, this should not be in the news. Shame on you ABC News.

So what’s the deal? Are we close to catching Osama or not?

Yeah! right! I will belive it when OBL and Ai Zawari is killed or captured. Remember ISI (Pakistani Intelligence) is the mother of Taliban and Al-Quida.

Why on earth would you post this on the web? These people need to be found and killed. Why on earth you would do this we’ll never know.

The very well-documented on-line video “Loose Change” very convincingly proves that Osama Bin Laden was, and has been, very well-protected by the CIA even before 9/11. More than that, he most likely had less to do with 9/11 than our own gov’t officials who set up the “terror attack” to scare people into supporting the Patriot Act and giving up many of our civil liberties. I’m sure OBL is still being protected by the CIA in return for him being Bush’es scapegoat for 9/11

If it’s in the news, it was meant to be. ABC is just complying.

I agree, shame on ABC news. Responsible journalism has become an oxymoron

For sure it would be great to get these people – but how many of our young people will to die to accomplish this goal. I don’t believe the 3172+ lives lost in Iraq justify the gains of the mission. I no longer trust the motives or the decision making abilities of the Bush/Cheney White House.

Great…..glad we broadcast our war plans…again. “CIA sources close to the operation”…That term should never be used.

Outstanding! No need to keep this closehold, otherwise he might not get away….

Bin Laden’s dead. This is just misinformation.

Really getting tired of our press outing this information to the enemy.

Bryan Ross has a history of exposing these things. The American people do not need to know this.

Yet more irresponsible, anonymously-sourced reporting from our MSM.

So, why is this on a web site so everyone knows what we are doing. Whatever happen to the time when stuff like this would not be printed….
Tell us when he is in a body bag!

So lets tell everyone!!!!! Why not? So when it fails, the media can once again go after bad policy decisions and poor execution. Nice job ABC.

Now why in the world would you publish this story if you really wanted to catch him? Geeez. Nice work guys…..really.

If it would increase the likelihood that OBL will be caught I would rather not have this information until AFTER THE FACT.

Is this news?
Should I rush to the coffee shop and tell everyone that the big news of the day is that we are pushing resources into a hunt for Bin Laden? Should they be surprised? Or excited?
Probably, they’d look at me as if I was mad for bothering to tell them something so obvious.
Thanks ABC, for your interesting story (!).

Bin Laden? Who cares?

now let me see…this information came from the Bush Administration?…did it come off of an Aircraft carrier? Did it come from a military hospital…the commanding general of a military hospital…no! no! i’ve got it Karl Rove has come out of hiding…

I’d say Osama is with W(yes, Waldo!). He might even be with W’s administration since nobody there seems to know what anyone else is doing. Best wishes to our CIA and military in their prusuit and finally(hopefully) a successful capture or kill.

I agree. Shame on you to say the least.

So, the CIA has been hot-on-the-trail of Bin Laden? They’ve been looking for over 4 years now, so gettng closer is a relative term, but it makes good PR for the agency I guess.

There is such a thing as “need to know,” and neither we (Americans), or UBL need to know CIA planns prior to his capture. Let us know after the fact please.

why is this being put out? If there is truly a chance to catch these murderers, why are you printing it? THINK!!!

Great – and now that this news will reach them either the Pakistani government will have to withdraw its support for our penetrations of the region or the locals will clam up and OBL and Zawahiri will go deeper underground.
Great job, ABC News. The same news organization that will complain when we don’t capture them after they report on us closing in.

Why would you put sensitive information out like this.
Is there any way this can help our country catch UBL?
Obviously you are more concerned with appearing to have a “scoop” than winning this war.
Are you also trying to warn these people so they can be extra vigilant? Do you ever think of the consequences to the men who are risking their lives over there when you put something like this out? Do you think they don’t see what’s on the internet? Inexcusable.

To Steve – US gov’t could very well want this to be in the news (to observe certain people’s reaction). Chances are this was a planned leak

Agreed, and shame on Drudge Report for putting it in huge type across the home page. Is Drudge against America and its war on terror?

This is good news if true but possibly so good that the public shouldn’t be knowing about it advance. Catch my drift Mr. Ross?

ABC,
Why are you publishing this information? Completely reckless. And don’t give me the standard “Freedom of Press” line. This is just stupid and irresponsible.

Thanks for letting OBL and ALZW know about the CIA Leads/Leaks. ABC and other outlets are half the problem…why don’t you put your effort into investigating OBL’s whereabouts and actually give him to us….oh I forgot, u r the news media. Gotta make a buck.

Why do they tell us that we are on his trail when he can move after he reads it? No wonder we cannot fine him because he is always warned before the capture. Tell us after he is captured. Neither the press nor the people need to know this before it happyens

Why would any American newspaper print this information?
Why would Drudge put it on his website?
What’s going on here?

Well if they were going to sneak up on OBL you gave that away just to get a headline. ABC What is wrong with you people did you forget about 911

Tell the director of ABC News the people don’t want to here about the chase. WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE CAPTURE!!!!!!

If it wasn’t for the effort against Iraq we would have Bin Laden by now…

If this were true it ould not be disclosed to ABC.
Remember in a war the first casualty is the truth and the news channel are just willing participants in the repeated killing of the truth.

No kidding. Pretty hard for the CIA to operate secretly in Pakistan when it’s right here for the world to read. When did the media all become such complete morons.

The real problem is how to get OBL without toppling the Pakistani government into the hands of ISI. Pakistan, as you know, has nuclear bombs + missiles. If catching OBL by CIA directly leads to riots that topple Musharraf and hand the nukes to Gul et al, it will be a very pyrrhyc victory

Any pressure on the Pakistanis to cough up Bin Ladin 5 1/2 years after his atrocity is welcome, whether it comes from the CIA, Cheney or ABC News.

The CIA “WAS” secretly operating in Pakistan. Did the official who gave out this information do so annonimously because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about classified information.

Again we just don’t get it, you guys are giving out information that needs to remain secret.
They now know we are on a new search for this bum.
Remeber they also have access to ABC, CNN, FOX, NBC, and all of our other news sources.
Sometimes it’s better to KEEP YOUR MOUTHS AND PRINT SHUT!

He is dead. He died over five years ago.

What ever happened to loose lips sink ships? You and the rest of the media have got to stop. History is going to judge you harshly.

There is so much that we do not know and will never be told. Secret groups operate completely seperate from most levels of oversight so that knuckleheads don’t tip off our enemies. There is much we shouldn’t learn till well after. Surprise or lack of wins or loses battles, wars and operations. We don’t need to know everything until the advantage of secrecy is gone.

Or it could be a calculated ruse to flush out more info……I’m just sayin’..

Agree…Shame on ABC News to report anything on this. Reporting of this nature should be reported on after the fact!

Why don’t we just ask director James Cameron? If he can find Jesus I’m sure he can find Bin Laden and Jimmy Hoffa.

Agreed. God forbid a news agency ever bites their tongue on matters of national security!

Don’t blame the news. If the info is top secret, blame the leak source and only the leak source. A free press is an absolute cornerstone to a free world.

This is not a credible report. The Pakistani govt never withdrew any troops from Waziristan and Bin Laden is not stupid enough to be hiding in “hot zones” like that which even media can point to.

Now, now Steve, no reason to get all over abc news. CIA operations are more than likely old news in waziristan. And above all, it was all put out by “US Official (unnamed)”…

Shame on ABC News? What about our own government official who was quoted in the story?

I only hope they capture him and give him a fair trial to prove we are not the savages they are.

yeah right, abc knows crap, this may have been planted out there on purpose for a reason…

Too bad our troops are “surging” where OBL isn’t.

yeah right like we don’t know where Bin Laden is.
how about the Dubai hospital on 9/11 for starters with a cia agent or two guarding our asset in the continued fight against terror?

The press is just a tool for the government to use when it is useful.

Why don’t you just tell them what day and time we’ll be there as well? It is ridiculous to be putting this information out for all to see.

For all we know, this information could be days old. I think if bin Laden were captured, the public wouldn’t know about it for some time. I agree with limitation of information in regards to military operations, but we don’t know how current this information is.

I agree with Bush, Rice, et al that it doesn’t make any difference whether bin Laden is dead or alive. Why waste money trying to find him unless the CIA is trying to deliver his back pay?

I have to agree with Steve here. It’s a great thing to let the American people know what’s going on that has to deal with us, but it’s not like our enemies can’t see this. They know full well what we say because, guess what? They have the internet too.

Oh I see, its OK if American operate on foreign soil…good I like that…that means foreign troops can operate here.

He’s in Dick Cheney’s bunker

Talk to me when they got him. Until them I do not believe anything said, only end results.

between satalite photos and drone recon flights,we should map every square inch of land suspected as an OBL terrorist training camp…once identified,send in armed drones,cruise missles and several special ops units to disinfect the area.

Leave it to ABC to publish our CIA intelligence secrets

I agree. What good does this do us to publicise the hunt for this madman? All I want ABC news to tell me is that the search is on and then tell me when they found him.
Might as well give him a GPS with their location on it.

What the heck? This totally shouldn’t be news if it is true. Report when he’s dead don’t hinder the efforts to bring him to justice.

Brian: great scoop and cant resist reading it but why the heck did you run it? It doesnt need to be in the news. We are still at war.

Agree with Steve – articles like this are simply irresponsible. I know the media strives to make bush look bad, but this is too much

I’m sure Osama sends his thanks for the heads up. And Pakistan is pleased that you revealed their covert dealings with the US. Remember, just because you have this info doesn’t mean you should print it.

As for the subject of whether or not it should be on the news….maybe they want it to be in the news.

Steve,
I fail to see why this shouldn’t be in the news. Based on the sources it seems like an intentional leak from top government officials.

why would you blog this ?

I agree with Brian. This should not be in the news. How ignorant can you get? Thanks for giving away our intelligence!

We’ve heard it all before. (yawn).

Here’s a thought, how about you guys at ABC hold that info and let us know when they catch or kill OBL?
You’re basically tipping the enemy to our moves.
Stupid and irresonsible. Especially when American lives are in jepoardy to find the man.

Bin Laden has been dead for years, this is right out of 1984…

I disapprove of every almost every action by the Bush admin. But why is ABC news reporting this? Sensationalism, Greed, $$$, profit, publcity. The politicians and news people in this country make me nauseous.

Yes, why can’t this secret news remain secret?

ABC should not be releasing info like this. Leave it to the media to try to ruin a good thing.

It really angers me that this kind of information is pursued and published as a news story. Why tip our hand? We need every advantage attainable, and seeking and publishing any details of secret missions, such as this, reduces our advantage against OBL and his network. I agree with a previous poster: “Shame on you ABC News.”

No better intelligence for our enemies than the U.S. media.

How can you expose CIA agents and put them, their operation, and their contacts, and a friendly and helpful government all at risk? To tell us nothing? So what? Are you purposely trying to undermine them or do you just not get it?

The story was probably placed by the CIA to get Bin Laden or his operatives/supporters to change their patterns to give our operatives and spys some clues.

Am I the only person who thinks there is absolutely no chance Bin Laden is even in the Middle East? I imagine him somewhere such as Sweden or China far away from any manhunt.

Cheney must have twisted Musharraf’s arm to the splintering point last week.

“We love death as much as our enemies love life”.
Now count your days, UBL.
The terrorist now lives with terror.

Why have they not caught him already? Just follow the dialysis machines in Waziristan, for god’s sake! How hard can that be?
The only conclusion I can come to is that the hunt for BinLaden would have been a distraction from the “War on Terror”.
Why does this feel like a game of “Where’s Waldo?”

Why do we let the world know we have undercover personnel going in? Isn’t that the point of them being undercover?

Shame on Drudge Report for linking this site and publicizing this information.

A little birdie tells me the end is coming soon for the coward Bin Laden. You can only hide in the dirt with gophers for so long. Here’s a guy who wants other Muslims to die, but is too spineless to come out from hiding andf fight with them. Good riddance to this bum.
Frank

Nice work, be sure to let them know we’re coming….and don’t forget when and where. Idiots.

So lets just tell the world and OBL
of our plans. Good going. Ever think that this may be the reason we never seem to make any progress?

Agreed Steve. This is information we do not need or want. We want the story after things have been taken care of. This nonsense pre-reporting does nothing but undermine the effort. Sure I want the news but I want it after the mission has proven successful. Until then – lips should be tight.

wow…this is great news reporting, ABC!
Now, how about publishing the date, time and place of the next target strike?

No way will we ever catch Bin Laden with Bush in office. These idiots cannot do anything right. Maybe we should send Cheney in to Pakistan on a hunting trip, hell he shoots everyone else. I am sure he will be greeting with Flowers and Chocolates just like Iraq.

Less talk… More action.. Quit reporting about possible leads.. Instead report about his capture.

Ditto to the last comment.

I agree it should not be in the news, but it may mean that getting Bin Laden, Inc is a Slam Dunk! I sure hope so!

Where is Bin Laden? Probably in the basement of Langley being tortured.

If true, shame on the U.S Officials leaking this to ABC News. They’re the one’s who are breaking the law.

If we keep hearing how the terrorist are using the internet, why is this in the news? Why are we basically telling htem that we know where Osoma is? It does’nt make sense! Use your head people!

Steve-wake up! This is a controlled leak, not a breach of national security.

Osama is in the hearts of 95% peoples of the world,He is anywhere finding him is when he comes out from the hearts of peoples.

This is news to ABC? Sheesh, this story (minus the McConnell admission) has been running on The Fourth Rail since the Warziri Accord last fall.
If this story is news to you, you better find a better way of getting your news. You’ve been snowed, my friend.

Bin Laden is in Pakistan. Well…. duuuuuh. This is why americans are idiots. The war on terror is a joke. BinLaden has been in the lawless tribal areas of Pakistan since 2001-2 . Glad to see your government might actually be doing something right for once. But then again, no BinLaden = No war on terror = No bags of money for the military industrial complex. The USA is circling the bowl!

It is in the inerest of both
ABC & LORD “BUSH” to promote such news.
The failure to catch LADEN & ZAWAHIRI prompted Bush to get busy in IRAQ(a la hurt ego).It will be costliest exercise ever to Americans even if they withdraw within 3 yrs from now.

Why don’t you just tell OBL and Zawahiri that we’re on our way so they can continue to try and elude US efforts to catch them? Why don’t you help us catch them instead of helping them to get away?

I must agree with Steve. This should not be broadcast for the world and OBL to know. However the shame lies with “government officials” in this administration for putting out this information for political purposes. Once again, this shows that few politicians can be trusted with intelligence. It’s kind of hard to sneak up on the enemy with politicians telling them your moves just to make political points.

Ahh, the CIA has finally learned what the rest of the world has considered common knowledge for the past five years…. bully for us. Lets have another press release when they figure out where Cheney is.

Great news. Was it an ease up and see where they run tactic and all the recent Cheney Pakistan meetings planned? Not likely, governments doesn’t seem that smart or Machiavellian.

Come on Steve…do you actually think that if they knew where he was that they would tell us? You wonder why People think Americans are idiots..sheesh

At least he _was_ in Pakistan…

Completely irresponsible reporting. I’d love to see ABC spend this much energy getting to the bottom of all of our success since 9/11!

Even if true, doesn’t this undermine our country’s fight on terrorism? This is like shooting yourself in the foot?

How did this ever get into the press? Why don’t they just send Osama a notice? As Lincoln said, the chicken is the wisest of all animals. It only cackles after it lays an egg.

Agree with Steve, this SHOULD NOT be in the news.

Loose lips sink ships. I can only think of a few reasons one would report this.

Remember one thing, OBL does not exist. He was cooked up by the feds for you to ‘focus’ your fear upon.

so anyone who reads this can go warn him now? Thanks ABC. Couldn’t hold off the story until after they at least had a strike against him?

Who’s really guilty for 911 – Osama Bin Laden or George Bush Sr. and his continued efforts to control OPEC.
I do not believe one word coming out of Washington.

Where is Osama Bin Laden. He’s probably at the Bush Ranch down in Texas. Try looking there.

I agree, if this is true, I don’t want the whole world to to know until after it’s over. Just plain stupid to announce it.

And why on earth are you broadcasting this information to the enemy???

OBL is dust in a cave in Afghanistan

Well,well It looks like our old nemisis OBL is coming back into action “curiously” in time for the presidential elections campaigns. What about that?

Loose lips sink ships!

24 news is such a moral setback to our society. I agree with Brian, if true what kind of idiot thinks it is a good idea to post this for our enemies to read?

Wow! Incredible timing. Just as president Bush is rolling out his new terrorism speaches we get anonymous sources telling us that we’re hot on the trail of Bin Laden. Watch as the president delivers his speaches this week — the smart money says he’ll mention “recent news reports” that we’re on the trail of Bin Laden. This story is not much more than a whitehouse press release. Really, what does the story tell us that we didn’t know before. It makes one vague claim with zero offered for proof or confirmation.
I hate to be so cynical, and I really like Brian Roos, but I feel like I’ve seen this movie before.

Got to “love” this report. OBL & his Lt. are in either one of two places. Kashmir or Iran.

ABC News: Aren’t you blowing our cover, since we are in Pakistan UNDERCOVER with SECRET CIA teams?

I agree with Steve. I don’t want to hear any intelligence info in the news. Let our guys do their jobs without jeopardizing them, ABC!

He was cleverly disguised
but I’m sure I recently
saw Bin Laden on an episode
of ‘Dancing With the Psychos’

I agree with Steve. ABC should not be reporting this information. It has national security implications and could place our men in jeopardy.

Maybe this is disinformation designed to flush out UBL or move somewhere else in march.

I really hope this is some kind of ruse. I can’t accept that the CIA is stupid enough to let this hit the news if it is really true.

Do people really think that the most powerful army and the most sophisticated intelligence apparatus on the planet have truly been unable to locate and catch former CIA asset Bin Laden? Wake up from your deep slumber!
Those in the highest seats of your own government murdered your fellow citizens on 9/11 in order to start this profitable and permanent “war on terror”. The evil is directly within these borders.

Steve –
Why should it not be in the news? Unless the public has the media to keep tabs (the balance)on what our government does (1st Amendment), we could lose our democracy. That is what our forefathers designed.
Good job ABC for bringing (reporting) to us only a fraction of what is going on … the truth is very important to us.

Why would ABC rat out the Pakistani government like this? Aren’t they HELPING us right now???
Sheez. I will never understand you people…

Great, now thanks to ABC, Bin Laden will know it’s time to move again….

Don’t worry Steve. No one believes what they read/hear/see on ABCNBCCBSNPRCNNMSNBCNewYorkTimesWashPost…

>> If true, this should not be in the news. Shame on you ABC News.
Bull crap.
The Bush admin is so crooked (thousands of americans dead over WMDs lie) that anything they say should be questioned and carefully looked into.
All this “you better watch what you say” crap is their way to silence critics.

osamma is dead. he has not been seen since tora bora, he has either died from disease or was killed. if he was alive, the photographs would have been published showing the dates or proof of the time.

Bin Laden is in the US.

If the Pakistan goverment was really cooperating with the CIA Bin Laden would have been captured long ago. Musharraf will never jeopordize his dictatorship being over thrown.

This is not information it is propaganda. Why else would a ‘U.S. Official’ give this story to ABC news in the first place. The News agencies are doing this FOR the administration.
Most of the un-named ‘US official’ statements are coming straight out of the Vice-Presidents office.
So the real question is why would the Bush administration tipping off Bin Laden?
If the offensive were real, they wouldn’t, so we can only conclude that this is just more BS from the Bush administration to cover there own buts/failures.

If this is in the news, it is becuase it was meant to be… This is government realeased info. Everyone already knows we have operatives in Pakistan, that is not new information.
Would any of you truly be suprised that we already have operatives in Iran ? guess what… we do !

I wonder why everyone is jumping all over ABC for reporting what the Vice Presidents office leaked to the news media, but no one is jumping all over the Drudge Report for linking to this story?

With you liberals everything is a conspiracy, how sad.

How convenient. Always finding something new on people that don’t exist.

Thank you for the nice article. Now at least we know what they are NOT doing. Its nice to have a media. Whatever they say at least you know that is not what is happening, but probably the opposite.So at least we know he is NOT in pakistan and is about to head INTO pakistan. (Gotchas)

And as we all know. If you have no clue whatsoever, just pretend you do and se if this stirs the pot and something surfaces… ;)

Catching Bin Laden would be good however, more importantly would it have been better if we had gotten him BEFORE 911 – afterwords the damage is already done. Thanks Billy.

Even if they do find him, it doesn’t matter anymore, the fuse has been lit. They don’t need OBL to hate us all.
I’m a bit suspect about the timing tho, typical GOP diversion from Scooter Libby story. Oh….look over here at Pakistan and OBL, and not at us.

Of course we can’t find Bin Laden, he has most likely had extensive disguising surgery and now looks like a tall Moe Howard of the Three Stooges; either that or he’s now a woman…

How dare ABC kill the liberals’ buzz like this. Talk about rude.

How is it that so few of you no so LITTLE about the actual workings of the CIA ? Because you’re not supposed to, that’s why. CIA leakers…real CIA leakers…leaking actual covert ops details get killed for their trouble…as well they should be.
These “news” stories are pure smoke and mirrors…as well they should be. Only a paranoid fool would concluse otherwise.
OF COURSE we know that the enemy has internet access, just as surely as we know that a story hungry reporter can be spoonfed information that the money hungry media will be thrilled to spurt out. It’s a tool….and you’re a tool if you think you know a damned thing they, the spooks,don’t want you to know.

Both the Pakistan Observer and Fox News [Faux News or Fox Noise] reported the Death of OBL in Dec 2001. Given that no video image of this man has surfaced since DEC 2001 would not this be the logical explanation . He’s been dead. The so-called OBL “confession” video shows a right handed man with a big round nose. OBL is left handed and we all know that nose. What other International Celebrity has evaded the digital image for 5+ years. Certainly not the former president of Iraq……

For all of yall saying “Shame on ABC news..” how about shame on the official that leaked the info. Do you really think the terrorists don’t already know that the CIA is running around in the tribal area?
Steve’s comment seems to be a bull’s eye!
“So our beloved leader is under pressure because of the treatment of our Heroes when they come home needing our help.
So all of a sudden we think we might know where OBL and his henchmen might be.
I think Karl (I didn’t leak the identity of the CIA agent honest) Rove has been on the telephones again.
When OBL’s head is on a platter at the Rose Garden at the White House will i believe a word of these so called leaders.”

I don’t believe it.

“Leaking” is just part of the political toolbox. The information value of it is very rarely if ever to be obtained in what it says. What it says is implausible.
But if seen in the context of adding pressure on the Pakistani regime to comply in supporting the attack on Iran as Cheney’s visit a short while ago seems to have failed to assure, that does seem much more logical.

All you people telling ABC to stop giving information to terrorists NEED TO LEARN HOW TO READ.
“…U.S. officials tell ABC News.”
“‘We are very much increasing our efforts there,’ the official said.”
So it’s ABC’s fault that US OFFICIALS are giving them information, and then they are REPORTING THAT INFORMATION! GASP!
This “treasonous media” nonsense is getting about as thin “Restoring Diginity to the White House”
Scooter Libby Batting Avg.=.800

Some of you are SUCH idiots!!!
Not everything is leaked for a reason!!
If so, then why all the hubub over the Scooter Libby So called leak???
Some things are leaked for a reason, a lot are not. And a lot of the are leaked by enemies in the adminisration, trying to destroy it, trying to make it look bad, any number of reasons.
It’s YOU people that need to get a grip.
God there are SO MANY idiots here!!!

Why is this information any of our business at this point in time. Let’s let our operatives deal with OBL and his idiot friend, Al-Zawahiri, and then…by all means, feel free to let us know what and how it happened.

With the Walter Reed scandal in high gear, no wmd’s, no plan b, Scooter found guilty, and so many problems the admin can’t handle, this is BS propaganda. All the sudden, OBL, missing and ignored for 5 years. Apparently the readers are not aware of many intelligence officials have complained that OBL and crew were allowed to walk out of Tora Bora. Bush has said several time he didn’t care about OBL and recently a general has said he didn’t matter. What has been divulged in this article?

The news was leaked in order for OBL and company to read about it and make an escape. The CIA then watches who makes a fast withdrawl to Afghanastan. It’s called flushing out the rabbit. Scare them in to running and they may take the bait. It worked in Iraq.

For all you screaming “We are at war” you can not wage war on and idealism or a tactic. Doesn’t work that way. This is not a problem that can be solved militarily.

ABC has just reported that a lone sniper has OBL in his sights and is preparing to pull the trigger. So long as OBL doesn’t find out the cross hairs are on him and duck at the last minute, we will….aw, damn it!

Ummm. Wouldn’t Osama be assuming that the CIA was still after him and in Pakistan if he is still alive??? I would! Ohh yeah you yanks ave been very close to capturing him before and still no cigar! I’m beginning to enjoy this episode of the running man and his fat pursuers.

If you believe the Bush administration is suddenly serious about going after Bin Laden and Zawahiri, you were probably one of those who also believed that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and that Saddam Hussein had “links” to Al Qaeda.

Idiots…as if Al Qaeda didnt already know the CIA along with probably other intel services were already in Pakistan hunting them. Do you honestly think they didnt already know this? Why do you think they behead people accusing them of spying for the US. This article didnt reveal anything that everybody doesnt already know. Honestly, use your brain and stop blaming the media for everything.

Its hard to find Bin Laden in all that decomposing matter. HE’s been dead since 2001.
If this satatement is true we must be hunting Nostradamus because there are videos of OBL stating facts all the way up to 2006.

Your question: “So where is Osama bin Laden?” That is a dopey question. Nobody who has posted, myself included, has inside knowledge or knows first hand precisely where the hell bin Laden is. If we did know, bin Laden would have been captured by now. Again, a dopey question.

The American Dream = Living a lie. I’m just a guilty as the next guy. We all believe what we want to believe, and anyone who is against us is an “idiot”. The so-called news media in the US (and other places as well) cater to the controversy-hungry morons who need their reality dictated to them. If the internet says it’s true, then it must be true, right??
This story is a waste of electrons — almost as much of a waste as the message you are reading now. So, tell me to leave this great country of yours, and retain that anger you feel now. That’s precisely what articles like this are intended to do. There is no conspiracy behind 9/11, it is what it is. Embrace the dichotomy: If you think there was a conspiracy, you are a paranoid leftist. If you believe this atrocity was committed by OBL, then you have been ‘duped by the man’. You can’t argue this stuff people, you’re just venting your opinions in the ether…

My guess is that UBL is waiting to show himself pending a successful high profile global scale attack. This would further immortalize him to the masses and give a fresh dose to his megalomaniac tendencies. He’s insulated by several layers of protectors, difficult for our teams, the ISI, or a sharp eyed predator/hellfire to get at.
The more we trip up their operations the longer he will have to wait to retake the world stage via 21st century media.
Given his preference for a pan-national caliphate (Sunni) rather than the return of the 12 ‘hidden’ imam (Shia), you need a counter claimant to pan-Islam to steal his thunder and provoke him to make a rash appearance and slip up.

Noted above: “We will fight forever if we stay.”
And we will fight forever if we don’t stay. We will just be fighting them in our home country instead of theirs.
Right now we are on the attack against them. Quiting the fight only allows them to resume their attacks on us once we go back on defense.

If 911 was not a conspiracy, please explain how one person did all that damage?
bin Laden is a US psyop to cover those who really did 9/11 and to keep a “threat” open to scare gullible americans. The aware are not scared of ths propaganda.

to all budding conspiracy theorists. Its George Bush and you are exactly right on the surface I am a bumbling fool but really I am able to carry off the greatest conspiracy of all time perfectly. You guys are morons If you really believe the government could pull 9/11 off. you cant have it both ways either you hate the president because he is stupid or you hate him because he was so much smarter than everyone else in the senate and house of reps and was able to fool you into supporting him for a second term.

I think its all a big joke,as things are unfolding with Dick Cheney’s visit to Pakistan with a message to do more or no more money, things the US public are scared of start surfacing.Next they will take Suddam out of the grave so more money can be poketedtake.Its one way of keeping Pakistan funded so they can help with Afghanistan and Iran.This is the way the Amiricans stop thinking cause they have blood in there eyes and fund Bush blindly.
“If you believe the Bush administration is suddenly serious about going after Bin Laden and Zawahiri, you were probably one of those who also believed that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and that Saddam Hussein had “links” to Al Qaeda.”
comment i coped cause i liked it.A

Close doesn’t count. Either we get him or not.
Oh, and if we do get him, we had better expect massive retailiation. Every Soviet sabbotage nuke planted in the US during the cold war, and now under Islamic control, will be detonated.

If the CIA was interested in finding OBL they simply need a search warrant for the White House.

I’m telling you …. “Now batting….for the Baltimore Orioles……Right Fielder……Osama ..Bin Laden….!” The Crowd goes crazy!

The CIA already had Bin Laden cornered in December 2001. For some reason, we purposely let him get away. The CIA agent who led the undercover team that located him is trying to get permission from his superiors to blow the whistle but I doubt that will happen.

Hey guys, thanks for the intel.

If you think this is news, do an internet search for “Gary Bernsten”.
I wonder if the uninformed comments here are representative of the average American (very disturbing) or just the average ABC news reader.

Ignorance. A lot of opinons from the ignorant here.
This report by Brian Ross offers nothing, I mean nothing that hasn’t been common knowledge for a very long time.
You don’t know about the Warziri Accord, yet you think you understand the war on terror.
You think you know about Osama bin laden, but you don’t know his current role with al Qaeda.
You think all of the terrorists or going to die as they are sucked into the war in Iraq.
You think the Democrats are not at all to blame for the misguided war in Iraq.

Let’s be honest for a second, shall we? We’ve known where Bin Laden was for a long time now! Why we haven’t taken him into custody…? Who knows… I do believe this. If we do know where he is, he’s now a puppet for the United States of America and is well protected! Just like we put Saddam Hussein in power only to realize later he would cut his own strings; as will Bin Laden… If we do not learn from our past we are doomed to repeat it, kill Bin Laden and take no hostages!

Please be sure to let us readers know exactly when you find Bin Laden and plan on apprehending him, so we’ll know first hand of the upcoming raid!

For all the people scolding ABC and asking “why did you print this?”, the reason is simple. ABC printed this because it was told to print this. Haven’t you BBC, oops, I mean ABC.

Cheney has some influence huh? A few days after his visit to Pakistan and…oh…what’s this…there’s fresh leads on OBL…there are some other Al Qaeda agents in custody. Love him or hate him, the man has pull.
As for ABC news…SIT ON A STORY FOR ONCE! Intelligence agencies got made when the media reported on his Satellite phone use in 1998, and he stopped using them. Help, don’t hinder.

He’s probably running a 7-11 in Baltimore or working for the Post Office.

Firstly,I don’t buy that ABC was told to print this. In trying to search for similar stories on this very issue all my searchs brought me back to Brian Ross. That is to say it seems Brian Ross has the inside scoop. Secondly, I commend Brian Ross for reporting the news. I do not shame ABC, but shame anybody who does. Shame on you for choosing to remain ignorant to our global policy. Chances are OBL is already dead. It’s never a coincidence that success in the war on terror always seem to correspond with our whitehouses own shortcomings.

Its hard to find Bin Laden in all that decomposing matter. HE’s been dead since 2001.
If this satatement is true we must be hunting Nostradamus because there are videos of OBL stating facts all the way up to 2006.”
The videos are fake. Do some research. Video experts all over the world having been vetting these fake bin laden videos and audio clips as they get rolled out. Bin Laden first claimed he had nothing to do with 911 (real tape) then we get a grainy video with bad sound and a fat dude that’s OBVIOUSLY NOT Bin Laden taking credit for it. Now all we get are crappy audio clips. The videos have been outed by international experts. Won’t see it on FOX and Friends, therefore, it didn’t happen.

Oh my gosh…..a friend of mine just told me that OBL is hiding in the Lincoln bedroom.
Seriously though, I think the man is dead and we are just spotting a OBL look-a-like ever so often. He was not in the best of health to be living in caves.
But, on the chance that this new information could or might be correct….thank you to our Media
for bringing it to our enemies’s attention once again.

i think if we are gonna do it then we shouldn’t talk about it. The cia needs to keep somethings to themselves. You know they watch out tv so they know.American public don’t need to know everything thats what is wrong today our media is so noisey.
