How long might it really take to find al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden? U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates suggests the FBI’s 17-year hunt for convicted Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski as a reasonable guide.
Or worse still, Gates said on Wednesday, consider the fate of Americans taken hostage decades ago in Lebanon who died before the United States could find and rescue them.
Speaking to reporters at the Pentagon, Gates dismissed the notion that something might be amiss because bin Laden and his top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahri, remain free more than seven years after the September 11 attacks.
“To a certain extent, I think too many people go to too many movies. Finding these guys is really hard, and especially if they have some kind of a support network,” he said.

But Gates drew a historical parallel between bin Laden’s hide-out and the mountain cabin in Montana where federal agents found Kaczynski in 1995, after he had killed three people and injured 23 others in a bombing campaign that began in 1978.“Look at how long it took … years and years — in the United States,” the U.S. defense chief said.
Don’t you go worring none about Black Water if old Ben dies. The odds that humans are going to stop killing each other, short of the species going extinct, approximates zero.
If all they need is a war to stay in business those boys have job security.
Maybe I’m wrong but with a few things Obama has said I can easily see him wanting to subcontract out a lot of our fighting.
just another way to make money off a false flag war..
bin laden is just a ghost kept alive to keep the endless war on terror going… this is the perfect war for arms dealers. who ever heard of war with no exit tragedy?…how can you end a war against terrorism? -has anyone ever defined the what is needed to end it?
besides, i thought Benazir Bhutto stated that bin laden was killed a few years ago by Omar Sheikh.

(conflicted in a later statement)
funny how anyone who states anything that could possibly lead to proof of a false flag Op, diminish or “end” of the war on terror is assinated.
