#5 YEA RIGHT! We all know the 'baddies' were 'telegraphed' 10 days in advance of the supposed offensive; I bet they even bought the tickets for their escape!

#8 This is what I want Mehmood Shah, to tell the world: "We have Osama cornered in his subterrained cave...he's has been demanded to surrender as soon as he finishes his can of beans! Come out with his hands up, not to explode. We will insure his safe turnover to the Americans!"

#9 Witnesses said that thousands of armed tribesmen of the Ahmedzai tribe traveled in about 300 vehicles to search the border areas.

#11 Let's hope this time Pakistan remembered that they should offer to pay them only for successful captures or kills and not before the operation begins like they usually do.

#12 It's easy to be cynical - but it does seem that they are trying. That's better than the alternative. Good luck guys!

#14 There are still al-Qaeda in Waziristan? I thought the Pak army had 'em surrounded back in April and captured them all. Hmmmm. The thought just occured to me who taught the Saudis how to surround and capture the bad guyz.
