Cheney, in last days in office, still hopes to catch bin Laden



Outgoing US Vice President Dick Cheney Friday did not give up hope of capturing or killing Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, with only 11 days left before Barack Obama moves into the White House.

"We've got a few days left yet," Cheney told CNN when asked why bin Laden or Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri continue to elude US capture.

Cheney was quick to say he was unaware of any impending strike on bin Laden, but suggested the Islamist leader was not effectively in control of his organization.

"We would like very much to capture or kill Osama bin Laden, but my guess is at this point, he's operating in an area that's very difficult, very hard to get to, that he's not an effective leader at this stage," he said.

Sure, it's a far-out notion, but don't think it couldn't happen.

Indeed, the Afterlife is notoriously difficult terrain.
But there are people who can help ya, Dick.

7. "he's operating in an area that's very difficult, very hard to get to.....

Well, that's true. If you go to Osama's current location to find him, you probably aren't coming back.....
