| Osama bin Laden assumed still alive: US general |
| 2004-10-14 |
| Terror mastermind Osama bin Laden is assumed to be alive but his whereabouts are unknown, the commander of US-led forces in Afghanistan said on Wednesday. "We have no evidence to suggest that Osama Bin Laden is dead so we have to assume based on that he still is alive," Lieutenant General David Barno told a news conference in Kabul days after the country's landmark presidential elections. "And we don't know where he is so we can't speculate that he may be in Afghanistan or Pakistan or where he could be because we don't have any pinpoint information about his whereabouts or he would be in our custody," he pointed out.

| #2 Cover Story to give "W" some negotiating room with Iran. Can you imagine someone telling Bush at this time..."He's in Iran being sheltered by the Imams!" I'm sure he doesn't want that in his 'Daily Briefing Report', remember what happened over the jet plane issue after the Sept. 11th attacks, he was accused of covering up! |

| #1 Bin Laden’s presence in Afghanistan was the reason for the US-led invasion after the September 11 terror attack... That's bullshit. Even it we knew he was no where near Kabul on 9/12/01 the Taliban would have been done. |
