<<<IF this is so, we need Pakistan off the fence too. Whether al quaeda succeeds or not, just an attempt of this magnitude should require Pakistan to take a stand along with saudi, yemen and kenya, assuming that with Mucharefs help we could somehow get at al quaeda better than we have so far been able to.>>> The magnitude of what we are trying to do cannot be overstated. Find one or a few people in a strange land 1/2 world away where people do not speak English and are generally unfriendly or uncooperative. Where terrorists money speaks loud and can buy haven and silence. To see what it amounts to park your car on mountain top somewhere and start walking when its 120 degrees or freezing. Look for someone who is almost guaranteed not to be within 100 miles or even in the adjacent country. Just to see how long your patience, food, water and incentive lasts. When its starts to rain I wouldn't even try it, but for 1/2 mil I would perhaps sit in a lookout and watch for 8 hours a day. If there is a McDonalds and TV within range of my vehicle. ' If we find OBL and his supporters, it will be through information from natives or a radio intercept , that permits a fast strike by a team. So we definitely need the cooperation you stated. And lots of choppers Night vision goggles. I can also see why those goat herders and camel drivers thought they were safe- never dreamed that the US had soldiers who could survive and attack in their homeland environment. Sig
