Likely to die of old age if the incompetent search for him continues
Secret report: Terror threat worst since 9/11 | Uk News | Telegraph — Curiously “dead or alive” Bush never mentions Bin-Laden anymore. Have we given up? Seems so. Or perhaps we need him alive to keep the public freaked out and voting Republican. Or maybe we don’t want him talking. You tell me.
Two years ago, western intelligence said that al-Qaeda was virtually a spent force, disrupted by counter-terrorist operations around the world.
In July 2005 the Pentagon obtained a letter written by Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda’s deputy leader, stating that the organisation had lost many of its leaders and that it had virtually resigned itself to defeat in Afghanistan. Al-Qaeda’s lines of communication, funding and structure had been severely damaged.
Dr Jonathan Eyal, the director of international security at the Royal United Services Institute, said that the al-Qaeda revival was down to the West’s inability to kill or capture Osama bin Laden and that wars in Afghanistan and Iraq made matters worse.
“This document clearly demonstrates a marked shift from the mood of western government only a year or two ago,” he said. “It is a clear admission that the organisation is re-emerging and the reasons are that none of al-Qaeda’s top leaders have been killed or captured.”
In this ludicrous story it seems that they even spent money on psychics to find the guy.
In a bizarre, albeit desperate, attempt to find Bin Laden, the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) spent £18,000 on psychics to find Osama Bin Laden.
The report was declassified under the Freedom of Information Act and says that the experiment, which was conducted in 2002, failed miserably with a big percentage of the psyhcics failing the tests.
It is claimed the ministry hoped positive results would allow it to use psychics to ‘remotely view’ Bin Laden’s base and also to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, Daily Mail reported.
The MoD tried to recruit 12 ‘known’ psychics who advertised their abilities on the Internet, but when they all refused they were forced to use ‘novice’ volunteers.

Meanwhile American Generals don’t think it’s important. I suppose Hitler and Stalin were not important wither.
…and this is the sane, rational, scientific civilization that we’re defending, am I right?? Jesus.
Umm, Hitler committed suicide and Stalin was an ally during the war. Neither were caught, and only one was ever a target.
I’m sure Bush would have called Miss Cleo if it wasn’t for her being out of business.
Of course they need him alive..how else can they justify warrantless wiretaps and the multitude of other privacy invasions if they didn’t have a boogeyman out there?
Even if he were killed, the US government would never admit as such – much easier to keep the sheep in line if said sheep feel there’s someone out there to get them.
In order to pay for the “War on Terror”, the US has issued the official “Where’s Bin Laden” board game. It is similar to “Where’s Waldo” game but Bin Laden is much much harder to find.
Please be a REAL American and buy a whole bunch of the board games. You do support the troops don’t you!?
Or perhaps we need him alive to keep the public freaked out and voting Republican. Or maybe we don’t want him talking. You tell me.
I believe it is a combination of the following three: How many parts of which I do not know.
1. Terrorism keeps Americans voting for Republicans.
2. By “officially” cutting off the head of a terrorist group, multiple heads will take its place. In other words, you may destroy one group, but multiple groups will take its place. In the end, it is easier to fight one terrorist group than multiple groups.
3. Capturing Bin Laden means we have to leave Afghanistan, and the command and control structure of the military is convinced that the country will devolve back into a warlord system when we leave.
Mullah Cimoc say too much jack bauer tv show make ameriki so stupid for hate the muslim, loving the torture, bow down for masters in tel aviv.

If Bin Laden were caught, liberals would then be calling for his release, that the charges are trumped up, etc.
Plus there was that funeral where top Taliban leaders were in attendance, and the US decided not to bomb because it was against the rules of engagement(no cemetaries). Might that have been OBL’s funeral?
I have visited this site
Where were all those “Psychics” on 9/10/2001?
It’s a lot more than just bin Laden.
Because Rumsfeld and Bush insisted on invading Afghanistan on-the-cheap, they let Al Qaeda exit Afghanistan and disperse throughout the world.
Now Al Qaeda is a much more dangerous decentralized global movement.
Getting bin Laden would be a great PR victory but it wouldn’t gut the head off of Al Qaeda because there really is no head, anymore.
Not to disagree with any reasons stated earlier, but let’s remember that the Bush family has solid business relations with the Bin Laden family. Now, Osama may be a bit of a black sheep to the Bin Ladens, but that doesn’t mean they want to see him dead. Blood runs thick, and so does business.
I don’t know who has delivered more evil on the world, Bush or Bin Laden, I really don’t know.
Ironically and undoubtedly, Bin Laden will outlive Bushes Presidency. Only the historian can answer, who has negatively influenced the world more?
That’s a neat synchronicity about the psychics. The other day I have met and for the first time, someone who is a psychic investigator and who works for various organizations including police. She said that she sees and communicates with deceased people as easily as she does with regular physically alive ones. I am rather used to all the psychic stuff but even I got chills listening to her talking.
If I read this article before that I would likely have asked her if she knows whether that Laden guy is still around
By the way – I remember you having a column in one of the PC magazines – you always had something cool to say!

I don’t think you could be any more ignorant if you tried.
There was an episode of The Dead Zone where John Smith participated in a government-funded project to do remote viewing to locate a high-ranking terrorist in Afghanistan. Apparently it was all true.

Is there ANYTHING the conservatives won’t blame the liberals for or accuse them of?
No one has forgotten that many of us BEGGED the Bush administration to keep full focus on Afghanistan and FINISH THE JOB THERE!
But NO… the conservative cheerlead as Bush moved the focus — and many of the troops — to Iraq.
Now they dare blame the liberals!
Somebody — please — pass me a barf bag.
It’s amazing how supportive the Democrats were of Bush only to have been against the move after the fact.
As for the psychic stuff, the CIA has admitted to using psychics for at least 14 years, but officially they no longer use such tactics. The U.S. military has also used such measures. It’s easy to be cynical, but it’s been done. Motivation was in large part due to us to keep up with the Soviets whe had a fascination for this thing. From my understanding of it, they were used not to predict the future but for intelligence gathering as strange as it may sound. As for whether or not it’s been effective is up for grabs. The buzz word they’ve used is called “remote viewing”.
As for people griping on why we haven’t found Bin Laden yet, let’s be a little realistic here. It took us 7 years to find Eric Rudolph and he only had one person helping him hide in a forest area nowhere near the size of area Bin Laden is essentially hiding in with help. The fact that we found Saddam as quickly as we did is simply amazing.
15, It’s amazing how hostile liberals get when they disagree with someone.
17. Irregardless of Liberals vs. Conservatives, what I do see a difference between the two is that one takes responsibilities for their mistakes while the other jumps the fence if they think it’s politically in their favor irregardless of what is good for the country. I see lots of finger pointing towards Bush by calling him a liar for using intel that was gathered from the previous administration, yet no such accusations are thrown at Democrats who made the same comments as Bush. I see gross rationalizations of why a double standard can be applied somehow. If there was any begging, I failed to see it until after Howard Dean went on his whole selling point on how the Iraq War was an unlawful war. Before then, I don’t know where any Democrat was found begging of the sort.
OK. So psychics are frauds. But so are horoscopes… oops. Sorry. You might have a loss of income there.
It’s not to the advantage of Bushco, Inc. to find bin Laden. If they find him, then their quest is over. Terrorists have been caught, and the trial can begin.
Bushco, Inc. needs this demon. They need to have someone to instill fear, uncertainty and doom in people. This is how they rule. Without the boogey man, there is nobody to fear.
