America's most wanted terrorist hides in Pakistan's tribal region where even Pakistan doesn't have full control & GWB does'nt want to go after him because he doesn't have permission from Pakistan!! So, what'll happen if he does? eh, Pakistan will bomb US back to stone age?? The tiny minnow says NO & the mighty eagle holds back!!! C'mon guys doesn't it smell fishy?

It's not Pakistan that's preventing us from going after Bin Ladin. If the US Army wasn't so tied up with Iraq, and the possibility of going into Iran, we would probably have a massive amount of forces in that region of Pakistan (and Afghanistan) hunting down Bin Ladin.
However, if you've seen any number of documentaries about this Bush administration, you'll see that the Bush Family has ties to the Bin Ladin and Saudi Royal Families, which happen to be the two richest families in Saudi Arabia. So it's not really in Dubya's best interest to hunt down and kill the single evilest man in the world (even a majority of Arabs don't like him).
Chances are that the military knows exactly where he his, but have executive orders not to strike. But that's just my take.

Oh, please. There's nothing fishy about it at all...just good old-fashioned common sense.
We get enough criticism for going into Iraq when we at least had a UN resolution to point at from the first Gulf War. Can you imagine the global uproar if we went into Pakistan for no other reason than to get OBL???
Have you ever seen a handful of small birds chasing off a predatory bird from their nest. One isn't dangerous to the eagle, but a whole bunch can be. That is a better analogy than your minnow comparison.
That and the fact that the Pakistani President has been pretty supportive of our efforts, to date. To undermine his authority that way would surely lose us an important Middle Eastern ally...something we just can't afford to be doing right now.

We are not likely to find him regardless. We as Americans cannot just go into a country we currently have peaceful relations with, and invade with a military force!! Besides, don't be so sure of our chances. We thought we'd blow away the Vietnamese and look what happened there! I am no fan of GWB, but neither do I believe the rest of the world would smile and pat our backs if we arbitrarily decided to invade another country!! We are not the owners of the world!!

Why then when the Saudi's wanted to just hand OBL over to the Clinton admin, they refused? Maybe those were the documents Sandy Burglar stole. We all know Monica's boyfriend didn't want those to fall into the hands of someone who would let the public know. With all of the unpatriotic acts committed by the commucrat party since 9/11, that would have sealed the deal and your party. It would no longer exist, except maybe in Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea or China.

I read a report last week that said George Bush was told by the United Nations, "Hands off Osama bin Laden," when the war first started. Now they're saying, "Find him and bring him in, dead or alive." In my opinion, OBL is either already dead or very seriously ill. He's a very brittle diabetic and the doctor who travels with him hasn't been able to help him. It's a very easy thing to make one of those nutty videos with OBL's lips moving but they're playing a tape he made back in the stone age.

In case you hadn't noticed, Pakistan is a large country and a nuclear power to boot, and to simply invade Pakistan would be a foreign policy catastrophe. The US was able to take over Afghanistan because it is sparsely populated and was being run by a bunch of idiots. That is not true of Pakistan.

The whole thing has smelled more than fishy since the beginning of the whole thing. The idea that our CIA and other sources cant find one man is beyond ridiculous. You'd be surprised to find out what a lot of Americans think of GWB.

Not at all....we don't necessarily do something just because we can. We don't want to cause the government in Pakistan to fall which it well might if we push ourselves in there without being invited.

What's dumb is the belief held by the rest of the world that the planet's only superpower is filled with idiots (being run by an idiot is another story). Yep were so dumb that when we sneeze the world gets a cold. We're so dumb the only way the world can turn a profit is off of our markets and demand for goods and services. Yep, we're a bunch of flipping retards alright. Then what would that make you I wonder?

What a brilliant deduction! You should send in your resume to Hillary. Apply for Secretary Of Defense or Secretary of State. She could use a top shelf ace like you.
