Search for Osama bin Laden continues: top US general
snip..........


"What I can tell you today is, we will continue to search for him just as it was with Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)," General Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told reporters during a visit to Kabul to mark Thanksgiving with US troops.


"A day before we absolutely captured Saddam Hussein we were not able to tell you precisely whether we had tracked him or not. We will continue to track OBL (Osama bin Laden) until he is brought to justice."

snip..........

The general ruled out claims by some US military officials earlier this year who had forecast that the Al-Qaeda kingpin would be captured before the end of 2004.


"I think no one should ever predict the capture of any particular individual anywhere in the world. There is no way to be that precise," he said.

1. Yeah right, like they have any reason to find him now.
Pulling him in before the election (which Bush lost) would have had some value for these imperialists, now, however, he is more valuable as a phantom to scare the people with.

2. Too bad Hussein had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the 911 attacks
and that the man who IS RESPONSIBLE for 911 is still loose.

Too bad bush is such a BLEEDING HEART LIBERAL that he had to "FREE" the people of Iraq (even though Iraqis could always have just LEFT IRAQ if they didn't like their government and in fact OPPOSED the INVASION & OCCUPATION of their country and in fact 98% view USA as INVADERS and NOT as liberators) instead of focusing on THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF 3000 PEOPLE IN THE 911 ATTACKS.

But BUSH SAYS HE DOESN'T CARE about OBL.

5. It's so reassuring
they put out a story like this every three or four months.
