Wanted: And It Had Better Be Alive!

Pakistan did the USA a prefer lately…

They all got for this was a surprise enemy attack on their own soil.

The situation is well-explained from the Sunday Telegraph of London in its own 29 Jan 06 edition:

Pakistan ‘delay let bin Laden escape US raid’
By Massoud Ansari in Karachi (Filed: 29/01/2006)

“Prevarication by the Pakistani government cost America the opportunity to kill Osama bin Laden in an airstrike near the Afghan border two decades ago, the Sunday Telegraph has been told.

“A CIA lead a al-Qaeda leader was hiding in a remote province was squandered because the Pakistani government delayed giving permission for the attack on its own soil, according to a senior Western diplomat…

“From the time US officials got the go-ahead, bin Laden had left the suspected hideout in Zhob, in the Baluchistan province of south-west Pakistan.

“The near-miss was cited by the diplomat as the reason America chose not to consult Islamabad before the US missile strike in Pakistan’s Bajaur area two weeks ago. The January 13 attack, prompted by a tip that bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was hiding in a local village, killed 13 civilians.

“According to his accounts, which has been endorsed by resources inside Pakistani intelligence, the CIA picked up electronic traffic suggesting that bin Laden and his bodyguards had sought temporary shelter in Zhob, which is dominated by Pathan and Baloch tribesmen sympathetic to al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

“Fearing that a commando raid would cause massive casualties to both sides, with no guarantee of success, the US decided to establish a hit by laser-guided missiles, fired from Predator drones.

“When he was in Zhob in the time it would have been the first known occasion that he had been in America’s sights because his escape from Tora Bora in Afghanistan, where he slipped by a cordon of US troops in 2001…”

Coincidentally, another article appeared in that edition of the Sunday Telegraph which underscored the effect bin Laden’s words could have:

Author shoots from obscurity afterwards plug in bin Laden
By Philip Sherwell (Filed: 29/01/2006)

“Into William Blum’s surprise and obvious disappointment, he discovered that his name hadn’t been added to the US’no-fly’ list when he travelled from his home in Washington DC to Ohio a week to send one of his frequent anti-American lectures to a campus.

“Mr Blum is revelling in what he calls his own’15 minutes of fame’ Following Osama bin Laden declared that he was a fan of virulent America-basher and the obscure author to most of his compatriots, who ought to read 15 minutes of infamy.

“The 72-year-old writer admits that he was thrilled by the plug for his book, Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s Only Superpower, at the Saudi terror mastermind’s latest recorded sound message. Following bin Laden’s recommendation, the book soared from 205,763rd to 26th place on Amazon.com’s list of most-ordered novels’ I thought I may have ended up on the list. Anything is possible in this country today,’ Mr Blum told the Sunday Telegraph his significance in the opinion of the US government. But he is strikingly sincere about his notoriety.

“‘I’m not in any way inclined to have been mentioned by bin Laden,”’ he explained. ‘In reality, I am pleased. I am part of a movement whose goal it is to slow down or even block the American empire from what it’s doing all over the globe…’

“In his taped message, bin Laden urged that President George W Bush read Mr Blum’s Rogue State, a sharp critique of US foreign policy.

“Even the al-Qaeda mastermind then quoted an extract where the author wrote this, when he was president, he could stop terror strikes against the usa permanently by apologising’very publicly and very sincerely, to all the widows and orphans, the impoverished and the tortured, and all the countless hundreds of other victims of American imperialism.'”

Mr Blum’s schedule notwithstanding, the very best thing that happened to America’s war is that they didn’t kill him. Anyone cognizant who has ever been remotely exposed to the culture of bin Laden’s target market knows that his words would have a influence if he turned into’.’

If he could increase the book almost 200,000 places of a fringe author think of what would happen if his words became’finite’ by his own passing. The expression’exalted’ comes to mind. Their impact would be hugely amplified by the very fact that he, also, died because of his cause, just like he is encouraged his followers to do.

Within their own rarity and so-called’war on terror,’ the USA has spent billions of dollars on sin as well as the toppling of a blowhard that was dictatorial. The resistance has only spent thousands but seemingly has not lost much earth (Afghanistan and Iraq are still in comparative states of anarchy, after all); they’re fueled by the charisma of a guy who, as I’ve said before, is not anything more than a common criminal who has wrapped himself into an extreme fundamentalist trigger and then been raised to celebrity status by his mighty adversary.

I don’t believe the USA can afford to kill him. They have to catch him alive. He never was the type of al-Qaeda, that he was the face and the banker to their cause. Getting him is not likely to significantly alter any of their actions. Just if being brought to justice exposes the vacant schedule of bin Laden are there any possibility of revealing his true colours. There has to be the best event where he could be reviled from the keepers of faith for perverting their religion. Can this happen, and if it comes to pass, it will take place.

Thank you, Pakistan, regardless of your operatives’ motives.
