Bin Laden Alive, Hiding and Worried About Own Security

Osama bin Laden is alive and hiding in Pakistan, said CIA chief Michael Hayden today, though the terrorism leader has little oversight of the al Qaeda daily operations.
“American and its friends have taken the fight to the enemy,” Gen. Hayden said in a broad roundup of efforts to fight al Qaeda.
“Al Qaeda has suffered serious setbacks, but it is a determined, adaptive enemy unlike any our nation has ever faced,” he said.
Without directly referring to the CIA’s offensive blitz of unmanned missile attacks in the tribal areas of Pakistan, the CIA boss said the US had successfully isolated the al Qaeda leader bin Laden, referring to him in the present tense.
“He appears to be largely isolated from the day-to-day operations of the organization he leads,” Hayden said in a speech delivered to the Atlantic Council in Washington.
Hayden said the failure to kill or capture bin Laden in the seven years since the 9/11 attacks, could be explained by the “rugged and inaccessible” terrain of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border area and “the fact that bin Laden has worked to avoid detection.”
The CIA director provided no other details but it was the first public indication of the intelligence agency’s growing effort to narrow the focus of the search for bin Laden and other top terror leaders.

God Bless the USA WE WILL WIN NOT THE TERROISTS!
Yee Haw AMERICA !! Drastic times warrants drastic measures. If Pakistan can’t handle the job, let the red, white and blue shine through. We will NEVER stop trying to kill Osama until we have our justice.
All of the ground,air and satellite technology we have 2day, and we still after all these years OBL still cannot be pinpointed? Someone out there has to know where he is hiding. Of course, in my opinion, he is inside a cave inside a mountain, or hiding underground(like Saddam Hussein when U.S.forces found him). Is no one wanting to speak out because he and his #2 are being protected from being found/located? surely there has to be some sort of technology that can peer into mountains and underground. If not I say allied forces start bombing the mountains like at the beginning of this war. U.S. Forces, again in my opinion, should just move into the suspected area and begin an all out search underground and all openings into the mountains. GOD BLESS THE USA
With all the satellite immaging and infra-red read outs I find it hard to believe that we cannot find this man. They know the area is rugged use all the technological equipment that we have at hand and FIND HIM…
If he can move around those rugged areas, especially with his kidney problems, our forces should have no problem.
We have sent rovers to Mars, sent craft later on that located one of the rovers and actually photographed the rover on the Martian surface….yet, we can’t find a six-foot (plus) tall individual right here on the face of the earth? Has anyone thought that perhaps there is a “political” reason for not locating, capturing/killing OBL? I personally hope that he is captured very soon and brought to justice, death would be too quick and easy for him and wouldn’t solve our problem with the terrorists.
God Bless America, Let’s Roll !!!!!
I have a hunch that our special ops are getting close to him. There is new technology that our guys are using to track and kill senior leaders in Pakistan. It is called “Continuous Clandestine Tagging, Tracking, and Locating.” Do some research on it because it is pretty interesting stuff.
U.S. WILL PREVAIL AND BRING THIS TERRORIST TO JUSTICE. PERHAPS ANOTHER HANGING OR SOME TYPE OF EXECUTION METHOD AS THAT OF SADAM HUSSEIN.
Sorry but with this level of response terrorists will win…We are afraid of them, we have to keep quiet, do not associate muslim with terror, they can tell you whatever they want but you have to carefully choose your words as they are protected, they have special rooms at work to pray, they lecture as abouth their high level of faith and how decadent is our religion…maybe they already won as we are closing and selling our Churches and some of us are so keen to demonstrate that Jesus was not innocent, and on and on…if you declare you are religious everybody will turn their back to you…ignorance is everywere and it is called atheism…let islam to put their dirty burka of each of us…infamy!
