Hunt On For Osama Bin Ladin

After the capture of the Taiban's number 3 man (apparently a big yapper), the CIA is rushing resources to Pakistan:

“Reports that the trail has gone stone cold are not correct,” said one U.S. official. “We are very much increasing our efforts there,” the official said.

I kinda hate posting these stories, since they only create disappointment. The same heart-ache the left experiences when they, for example, learn that an elected official of the US government has survived an assassination attempt by Al Qaeda or Taliban terrorists.

But I guess there's always a chance.

We Didn't Get The Top Thug In the Islamic State of Iraq Organization: Again, Expectations Fatigue kept me from being enthusiastic about this report, or even posting it. But maybe we got the second in command, which would still be pretty damn good.

I Kinda Think He's Dead... Or else he'd put out videos of himself at some point, wouldn't he?

Then again, I thought the same thing when he went video-silent from 2002 until 2004... just in time to, erm, encourage the American people to vote Democratic.
