Highland 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) Point taken, but what happens if he somehow escapes? It'd be a major embarassment; they should have tried to keep this under wraps until he was captured. Edited March 19, 2004 by Naibus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2004 U.S. officials rightfully so have been very low key about these reports. So far it's the media saying Pakistani officials off the record believe it's Zawahiri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2004 while this definately would be a great capture, and reason for applause(including my own) I really don't think this would be a huge thing in the bigger picture. It has been over 2 years since 9/11 and I am sure Al Qaeda/Taliban have plenty of "2nd in commands" ready, willing, and able to take over for this scumbag. That has really been the point from the beginning was that catching Bin Laden was nice, but it is not like there isn't plenty of his followers out there ready to carry out any other loony ideas he cooked up. With that said, I still would like to see this fucker captured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2004 Bah, they're just doing this to see how big a boost it gives George W. HITLER in the polls so the administration can calculate just when to bring out bin Laden for election time. I can think of no other reason for this happening...

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2004 DEBKAfile Reports Exclusively: Pakistan red-faced on discovering “high value” terrorist target its troops surrounded in Waziristan was not bin Laden’s No. 2 Zuwahiri but chief of Pushtun Ahmadi tribal federation. DEBKA sources estimate that any harm to Pushtun chief would spark wholesale tribal war offensive against Pakistan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2004 Well, I haven't heard the above thing anywhere else, sounds a little kooky to me... Pakistan is claiming there's no American troops involved in this. Now, I don't know if that's simply something they're saying to keep their Islamic extremists happy by making it sound like they aren't cooperating with the US or not. But if it's not, Bush needs to dedicate all military resources in the area to getting over there right now. This guy almost definitely holds more blood on his hands for 9/11 than even Osama (bin-Laden mostly just funds the operation, al-Zawahiri is the guy who actually makes the plans.) Forget the politics, forget the arguing about the war. This guy needs to be captured if he's here, and if he gets away than it's an embarassment for all of us.
