A Fantastic Story

Every once in awhile a story too fantastic to be believed by anybody who isn't tripping out on LSD hits the media. This week it is the moronic claim that the Pakistani government is going to let Osama Bin Laden live in peace in Pakistan a story even ABC News wants to beleive. http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/09/bin_laden_gets_.html
This story is unbelievable for if it were true the United States would attack Pakistan to get Bin Laden. Remember what happened to Afghanistan when it was sheltering Bin Laden? Nobody in Pakistan wants war with the United States, particularly because Pakistan's archenemy India would seize upon such a conflict to occupy all of Pakistan long before US troops got there.
So what 's really going on here? One of two things, either A) some sort of sleazy deal has been cut with the leaders of Waziristan the region of Pakistan where Bin Laden is supposedly has been cut so they will turn Bin Laden over to the US. One strong possibility American forces will land there find Bin Laden and some of his henchmen capture them and take them to Guantanamo. The local tribal chieftan in Waziristan then issues a statement condemning American aggression while counting all the fresh new US dollars he just recieved from the CIA for turning Bin Laden in. Then goes home to watch his speech on Al Jazeera on his new Plasma screen TV received through his new satellite dish, he'll drive home in his New Hummer.
Possibility two is that Bin Laden isn't it in Pakistan or the mountainous region between Pakistan and Afghanistan and hasn't been there for a long time. The Pakistani government knows it so they don't care, Bin Laden is long gone.
So where is he? My guess would be Europe. Bin Laden is hiding out in some enlightened liberal Europe country like Holland, he's shaved his beard and may even be pretending to be a Christian. Where's the last place you'd look for Bin Laden? Praying down at the local cathedral. That way if Bin Laden sees the CIA capture squad coming for him he just calls the media on his cell phone, runs down to the local police station, turns himself in and screams you can't turn me into the evil Americans they'll give me the death penalty. That way Bin Laden stays in some country club prison in Europe running his terror outfit and directing the war while America tries to extradite him and fails. No US politician would bring Bin Laden into an American court without the death penalty on the table, no European pol would extradite Bin Laden to face Death in the USA.
Either way something else is going on here. Mark my word for it this whole thing is hookum. What it covers up I don't know but somethng's going on...
