Bin Laden could have been captured in 2001
Myanmar News.Net Sunday 29th November, 2009
A US Senate report has revealed that US forces could have captured Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan in late 2001.
The report, prepared by the Foreign Relations Committee Democratic staff, said calls for US reinforcements to surround Bin Laden were rejected by officials in former President George W. Bush's administration and military commanders at the time.
The failure to kill or capture the al-Qaeda allowed him to simply walk into Pakistan's unregulated tribal areas, leading to far-reaching consequences, including the protracted Afghan insurgency.
The report said that while the vast array of American military power was kept on the sidelines, US commanders chose to rely on air strikes and untrained Afghan militias to pursue Bin Laden in the mountainous area known as Tora Bora.
"On or around 16 December, two days after writing his will," it said, "Bin Laden and an entourage of bodyguards walked unmolested out of Tora Bora and disappeared into Pakistan's unregulated tribal area."
Bin Laden is still thought to be hiding in the area.
The report added that the decisions that opened the door for his escape to Pakistan allowed Bin Laden to emerge as a potent symbolic figure who still attracts a steady flow of money and inspires fanatics worldwide.
The report also rebuffed claims by former Bush administration officials that intelligence about Bin Laden's location was inconclusive. Email this story to a friend

Hey! FAKE, we've heard this story ten million times on TV.
(R) 2012 DAN QUAYLE Presidential Foreign Policy & Affairs / Pentagon reform: Hey! FAKE, we’ve heard this story ten million times on TV repeatly. We DON’T think American people want to Renew or Repeat Obama’s self-ambition Afghanistan War which the 2013 US President DAN QYAYLE’s White House DON’T think Obama’s Afghanistan War have an ending, once you fail, DON’T say that later on to say: “AT least we try”. That’s caused many American lives died for nothing, and Obama and Stanley McChrystal creates thousand young American cripples that is unnecessary. The Islam-to-Islam national integrity, Osama bin Laden can be a “foster child” being sheltering by any Mosques or Islamic family in Pakistan’s city just like the Taliban TOP leader called “One-Eye” is moving into the city too, they DON’T have to play “hide-and-catch” children game with U.S. troops in Afghanistan southern border. Hey! FAKE, don’t bring this old junk story out to campaign Obama’s 40,000+ US troops new deployment to Afghanistan War. American taxpayers CANNOT afford the Obama’s war money to burden on national debts. The 2013 US President DAN QUAYLE will NOT continue to fight Obama’s self-interested Afghanistan War again. JOIN us, the 2012 DAN QUAYLE Presidential campaign “2009-2012 CEASE-FIRE with Taliban” together with Republican US Congress & Senate.

What the hell
Why do my posts get cropped like that? Just reading here, it’s obviously not obscenity. I don’t believe it’s my internet connection. Perhaps it’s my point of view that’s being censored. Folks are welcome to debate here endlessly, without any restriction on the number of characters, or the coarse language, as long as they stay on the reservation. Yeah, the government is stupid, they couldn’t imagine ending up sitting on top of $500bn in opium.That’s opium, not opiume, for Dan Quayle. Osama never worked for us. We’re the good guys. Sibel Edmonds has nothing to say.
And if it is the hot little chick working in psyops for the Army that I met at a previous place of employment, you are banging hot. I wanted to tell you, but that would be unprofessional. Please, don’t ever settle for less than a commissioned officer.

OBAMA ESCAPES !!
This is old news. The military goofed. Several times it was thought that Obama was surrounded and would be captured at any time. Well, every time he makes his escape. These guys know every goat path, every nook and cranny in the hills and mountains, so its no embarrassment to lose him.
What is an embarrassment is if we were to pull out before the job is completed, for that would mean that all the men and women who have given their lives, have done so for naught.
Let their lives lost mean something, lets get the job done !!
