'US to pursue Osama in Pakistan if it has evidence'
2008-04-27
If the United States has explicit proof of Osama Bin Laden’s presence in Pakistan’s border regions, then it will categorically pursue him, US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte has said. Speaking to Charlie Rose, he said that as far as Bin Laden was concerned, the US would pursue him regardless of any permission from Pakistan to conduct a military operation within its borders. “I’m pretty confident that that’s the way the president would react,” he added.

Negroponte said that Pakistan was a very important country with respect to its proximity to Afghanistan. On President Pervez MusharrafÂ’s continued importance to the country, he said that it appeared that the prime ministerÂ’s role was taking on greater importance.

#6  POST-WOT > Many in the US-World would like to see [GLOBAL]FEDERALIST "CO-EQUALITY/EXISTENCE" = "BALANCE OF POWERS" = "SEPARATE BUT EQUAL", etc. prevail - but, isn't the former what Radical Islamists, + aligned Communists, Globalists, etc. FIGHTING AGAINST, i.e. WAR FOR INTOLERANCE, NOT AGZ INTOLERANCE???

#5  No one should ever underestimate Osama + Zawi, etc. IMO, the RADICALIST JIHAD, which ultim is GLOBALIST in scope, will be humiliated and discredited iff Radical Islam fails to demonstrate its potency vv NON-ISLAMIC MAJOR WORLD NATIONS, i.e. the US-EUROS, RUSSIA, JAPAN, CHINA, INDIA, etc.. DITTO FOR MOUD, MULLAHS, + FUNDAMENTALIST/ISLAMIST IRAN, + any ISLAMIST INDEPENDENTS, + collusory COLD WAR COMMUNIST-SOCIALIST, ETC. ADHERENTS. I will be greatly surprised iff the USA can de facto capture or kill OBL by NOvember 2008 or ever, AS OSAMA IS VERY DEDIC TO HIS ISLAMIST BELIEFS AS WELL AS BEING VERY SAAVY. IN ANY CASE, EVEN PRESUM THAT OBL IS SUCCESS CAPTURED OR KILLED IN NEAR-TERM, WHICH I HIGHLY DOUBT, IT STILL LEAVES NUCLEARIZING IRAN + IRAN'S OWN RADICALIST AMBITIONS. The struggle for "Validation" and "credibility" as per Radical Islamism is only PART OF THE BIGGER STRUGGLE FOR SAME AS PER GENERAL/WORLD ISLAM.

* "THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE", not FEW or SEVERAL or MANY??? WOT > WAR FOR PARITY VERSUS SUPERIORITY vv NON-ISLAM/ISLAMISM. "DEFEAT" IS NEITHER PARITY NOR SUPERIORITY.

#4  IDed by drones Frank. As Osama continues to 'Radiate' zero electronic emanations through Echelon, the task of mapping where Osama is and isn't, will fall more pervasively to the "Dark Sweepers"! These ultra secret clandestine teams of forensic 'CSI' trained trackers operate in the shadows,collecting fingerprints from rock trails, scent signals by bloodhounds (the US has hair and clothing samples of Osama and his family for database measurements)etc. Osama has even resorted to burying his groups 'poop' and cremating their dead to keep the "Dark Sweepers" from mapping close!

#2  Dark Sweepers? Do you work for my Hungarian friend? This sort of thing shouldn't be public. I advise a low profile, perhaps retraining.

#1  The key 'trigger' is explicit! The preponderance of the evidence has been lowered from Echelon intercepts and/or positive satellite and/or drone id, to simple fingerprint and/or dna hits by the "Dark Sweepers"! I wonder what type convincing it took to persuade Musharraf to 'look the other way'?
