Bush Enlisting British Special Forces in Final Push to Capture Bin Laden Before he Leaves Office.....

It's now or never. Anyone think Obama's going to make a major effort to kill or capture King Goat Fucker?.....

President George W Bush has enlisted British special forces in a final attempt to capture Osama Bin Laden before he leaves the White House.

Defence and intelligence sources in Washington and London confirmed that a renewed hunt was on for the leader of the September 11 attacks. “If he [Bush] can say he has killed Saddam Hussein and captured Bin Laden, he can claim to have left the world a safer place,” said a US intelligence source.

The Special Boat Service (SBS) and the Special Reconnaissance Regiment have been taking part in the US-led operations to capture Bin Laden in the wild frontier region of northern Pakistan. It is the first time they have operated across the Afghan border on a regular basis.

The hunt was “completely sanctioned” by the Pakistani government, according to a UK special forces source. It involves the use of Predator and Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles fitted with Hellfire missiles that can be used to take out specific terrorist targets.

One US intelligence source compared the “growing number of clandestine reconnaissance missions” inside Pakistan with those conducted in Laos and Cambodia at the height of the Vietnam war.  

Intelligence on the whereabouts of Bin Laden is sketchy, but some analysts believe he is in the Bajaur tribal zone in northwest Pakistan. He has evaded capture for nearly seven years. “Bush is swinging for the fences in the hope of scoring a home run,” said an intelligence source, using a baseball metaphor.

A Pentagon source said US forces were rolling up Al-Qaeda’s network in Pakistan in the hope of pushing Bin Laden towards the Afghan border, where the US military and bombers with guided missiles were lying in wait. “They are prepping for a major battle,” he said.

The main operations in Pakistan are being undertaken by Delta, the US army special operations unit, and the British SBS.

Big deal. Osama in the symptom, not the problem.

Plus now he will have full access to our courts. Talk about a media circus.

The dude's dead. Go after the other 100,000,000 tiny minority of extremists.

Elric,

Big deal? The guy was responsible for killing 3000 Americans? You wouldn't want to see him caught? Giving him access to our courts in the end would help us. Support for the left would crumble as they defend none other than Osama bin Laden.

Of course he's mainly a figure head now, but it would be a huge blow to the jihadists if he was captured then executed.

I agree with Zip. Capturing bin Laden would be a major coup, and would increase morale in the fight against the Jihadis.

I would like to see bin Laden captured and executed because he is responsible for those deaths on 9/11... but I guess some Americans don't give a rat's ass anymore.

"but I guess some Americans don't give a rat's ass anymore"


Sad, isn't it?

I rather see him dead in a cave. Capturing him, especially after what the Supreme Court did would not be a good thing.

Don't read the media spin - read the facts of the story. It's still business as usual - Brits and Joes working together to kill worthless muslims - the media is just putting a differnt spin on it to make GWB look bad - the entire story comes from iberal's hatred of Bush, not any new current event or policy change.
