Pakistan's Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat has voiced optimism that Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden would be caught, in an interview published on Saturday in the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

Interrogations of Al Qaeda militants had revealed that Osama was most likely hiding in the border area between Pakistan and Afghanistan, he said, expressing concern that he continued to benefit from "security havens in Afghanistan".

He said the US-led coalition leading operations against remaining Taliban militants and hunting for Osama should "extend their deployment out to the furthest corner of Afghanistan".

Hayat said Karachi had "penetrated the communication network" of Al Qaeda and understood the structure, projects and financing of the organization.

Some 650 suspected terrorists have been arrested in Pakistan since the Sept 11 attacks on the United States in 2001, 500 of them foreigners who were delivered into US custody, according to the minister's estimates.

The Pakistani military arrested two dozen people this week, including some unidentified foreigners in operations in the tribal areas that lie along the border with Afghanistan.-AFP

Re: Confrontation of allies against war of terror today to the ideological Puritanism of Talbenisation under Osama/ Omar axis compares firmly well to Nazism under Hitler.

Here's an interesting view of "Good" vs. "Bad" forms of religion.

I trust you do see the obvious differences. :)

***
As you are well aware, many across the globe have made the comparison between Hitler and the present occupant of the White House in the U.S., as well as to the nemesis of the West, Osama Bin Missing.....

Let's line up the comparisons:

Hitler:

Created a crazed propaganda machine declaring his people superior to all others. Proselytized for the expansion of his people's empire across Eurasia and the globe. Created and expanded the most powerful military machine of his age.
Misinformed his population about the threat of foreign "devils".

George W. Bush:

Created a crazed propaganda machine declaring his people superior to all others. Proselytized for the expansion of his people's empire across Eurasia and the globe. Created and expanded the most powerful military machine of his age.
Misinformed his population about the threat of foreign "devils".

Osama Bin Laden:

Created a crazed propaganda machine declaring his people superior to all others. Proselytized for the expansion of his people's empire across Eurasia and the globe. Misinformed his population about the threat of foreign "devils".

Because of the inherent weakness of his industrial base, uses terror attacks fairly ineffectively to win his battles, while losing the war convincingly to his "enemies", the same people his family has invested in and with for decades.

I trust you notice the differences and similarities. :)

Oh Please.....take each type of issue on it's own and the Taliban scenario is just as valid for the Christian Right Wing here in the United States with Bush leading it down the merry path of the Crusades
