| Bush expected to announce progress in Bin Laden hunt |
| 2003-03-06 |
| According to Israel Radio, US President Bush is expected to announce significant progress in the hunt for arch-terrorist Osama Bin Laden. Media reports worldwide carried rumors that Bush was expected to announce Bin Laden's capture, but White House Spokesman, Ari Fleischer, was quoted as saying that President Bush was not going to announce that the terrorist had been captured. Bush is expected to give a speech from the White House at 03:00 Israel time. An intelligence official in Islamabad, Pakistan, said that US and Pakistani intelligence agencies are tightening the noose around Bin Laden's hideout, which is believed to be in the Baluchistan province of Pakistan on the border with Iran. I'm not holding my breath on this one. The noose was tightening around him at Tora Bora, too, and he slipped out to a friendly reception in Pakland... |

| #2 Please...the only way that bin Laden is not worm food is if he has secretly been in custody for the last year as we use him to extract information. Logic and common sense dictates that this man could never have laid so low. He loves the limelight and the glory. He is either dead - or he will be produced when it suits our purpose. The End. |

| #1 Whatcha bet he ends up in Iran? The more interesting question is whether the Iranians, who have no more control over their borders and country than Pak land, will launch a massive manhunt or face the possible wrath of the US? Iran is one of the countries in the axis of evil and the next closest country to Iraq. While we have the troops there....hey? |
