#1 "No one is certain where the 'Zone' is" > well now, I wouldn't go that far. Many anti-American agendists, Global-crats Commie-crats Retreat-crats + Waffle-crats etal. certainly have a stake in making sure that Kindo is never found - what will Whitney say???

#2 Send up a swarm of long duration surveillance drones. Arclight anything that remotely resembles bin Laden. Use spatulas to collect DNA evidence for subsequent confirmation.

Yes, I'd love for us to capture him alive. We need to milk him like the last cow on the farm. But more than anything, I just want him dead.

NEVER FORGET. NEVER FORGIVE.

#3 “This could all end tomorrow.” One unsolicited walk-in, one tribesman seeking to collect the $25 million reward, one courier who would rather his kids grow up in the US, one dealmaker, “and this could all change,” he said.

They should kick the reward to fifty million, or even 100 million. It would be worth it in the short run, let alone long run. Those jihadis watched "Lets Make a Deal". They know.

Family goes to the US. Bullshit. The whole village comes over. We'll even give them driving lessons and a taxi each. If it means no GIs get killed getting the scum bag, it is worth it.

#5 I like the way you think, Penguin. That's a damn fine idea!

#7 Daily Times. Geez, think there might be some less than pro-WOT reasons for running this story? I'm sure this will generate big-time IslamoNazi faction furor. The PakiLand Follies.

I sure hope it's true.

#8 For technical intelligence ISI works hand in hand with the NSA (National Security Agency)

Maybe why we've not got the bugger yet...

#9 Ramzi Yusef was captured after the US arranged for a huge air-leaflet dropping in Pakistan. According to leaked info. one of his own associates couldn't resist the $2 million reward. Khalid Sheik Mohammad was also betrayed for money. I have met Pakistanis who dislike Arabs for their arrogance and lazyness. I am really surprised that the $25 million reward has not yielded results. Special Forces can't do anything without reliable info.

#10 Confirmation, I suppose, that OBL is nowhere near the border.
While SF raid border villages, Osama is safe inside the ISI safehouse in Rawalpindi.

Sorry, I don't want any more of those barbarians in the US. Promise them homes in the US, and settle them in Gitmo.

#12 Want results ? Drop the reward to 15 million.

#15 IMHO, the death or capture of OBL will not change anything in the WoT, just like the death of the terrorist Che Guevarra (killed in 67 and made a martyr 30 years later by Castro) did no change "la Revolucion comunista" neither did the arrest in 94? of terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sánchez (aka Carlos, made a hero by Hugo Chávez in 2006)) changed anything.

#16 Death has shown remarkable success in deterring repeat offenses by its recipients.

#17 Take out some Saudi princes with charatable attitudes with their money, as well as some Iranian MMs with significant assents that this whole Jihad thing will start winding down. Otherwise, we will be expending all our treasure and military treating the symptoms.

Take out the brains and the food source and the rest of it dies.

#18 The ISI would not have green lighted this deal if they thought we'd actually get OBL. That said, we might be able to snatch some mid level guys.

#19 I suspect this is the payoff for the Wazoo truce deal. Why else would would compel the Bush administration to be so quiet in the face of Pak's "abject surrender"?

Whahahahahaha, yes indeed. The statistics on mortality and recidivism are strikingly parallel.

It might shut the Dems up for . . . 5 minutes. I'd like to find out if you're right either way.

Nope. Two minutes before they're expressing "concern" that OBL gets "humane" treatment.
