Why did Osama bin Laden escape? Former Delta Force officer tells CBS' "60 Minutes"
Why did Osama bin Laden elude U.S. officers sent to kill him in Afghanistan? The former Delta Force officer who led the mission in the Tora Bora Mountains cites two reasons: Higher-ups stopped the most effective plan, and Afghan allies undermined the effort. The retired Army major, identified by the pseudonym Dalton Fury, talks to Scott Pelley on Sunday's "60 Minutes." The program airs at 7 p.m. on WKMG-Channel 6. A plan to get bin Laden by climbing in from the back door of Pakistan was scutt

Osama Ballot!
Barack Osama is running for President, at least on New York ballots. New York Ballots have Barack Osama running for President next month, not Barack Obama. Ballot writers in New York apparently spell worse than LALATE. The absentee ballots sent to voters in Rensselaer County are the ones that get Osama not Obama. The ballot did get John McCain’s name right. Of course, an AP story adds this in case you don’t know. “In the United States, the best-known individual named Osama is Osama b

Former elite officer says plan to kill Osama was nixed in 2001
New York, Oct.6 (ANI): America's best chance to eliminate Al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden came in 2001 itself, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, but this plan was nixed, according to a former officer of the elite Delta Force. A CBS report says that shortly after 9/11, the Pentagon issued a simple order to a top secret team of American commandos in Afghanistan - "Kill Osama bin Laden". The officer in command of that operation, has decided to break his silence after seven years to set the record straigh

On Fox, Internet Hoax Repeated By Pakistani President [The Internet]
Pakistan's new president, Asif Ali Zardari, had some amazing stories to tell Fox News' Greta Van Susteren Tuesday. He might have even impressed viewers with the one about how his late wife, former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, called President George H.W. Bush in 1988 to complain about the destabilizing influence of Osama bin Laden, with whom Bush was supposedly unfamiliar. But Zardari then shot his credibility to hell by following up with a story about how Lt. Col. Ollie North, ringleader of the Iran-Cont

Gloves Come Off: Barack Obama is Def. a Terrorist, Says Alaskan Lady
Preemptive strikes have begun! Sarah Palin accused Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists," (pallin' around?) back in the 70's, coincidentally coinciding with the RNC's recent allegations that Barack Obama accepted illegal campaign contributions from "overseas." See the link guys?? Barack Obama is acquaintances with Bill Ayers, who was the leader of the radical American terrorist group The Weathermen 30 years ago. Plus Obama's middle name is Hussein, plus h

Obama v McCain: Scripted and improv
In an hour-and-a-half of shuffling around a red-carpeted stage, Sen. John McCain waved a red cape at rival Sen. Barack Obama more than once, but it took a good hour and 15 minutes for the Republican to get under the Democrat's skin. It had to do with tracking down Osama bin Laden inside of Pakistan - or, as McCain would have it, Obama alerting Pakistan to the fact that he stands ready to invade a sovereign nation. "If we have Osama bin Laden in our sights and the Pakistani government is unable or unwi

Commentary: How Obama should fight al Qaeda
Editor's note: Peter Bergen is CNN's national security analyst. His most recent book is "The Osama bin Laden I Know: An Oral History of al Qaeda's Leader." This commentary is based in part, on a paper Bergen wrote for the New America Foundation, where he is a senior fellow, and an article he wrote for The New Republic in September, "A Man, A Plan, Afghanistan." Peter Bergen says Pakistan is a key part of the strategy to succeed in Afghanistan. (CNN) -- The Mumbai attacks remind the wo

US-Pakistanis ask Obama to tone down “bombing Pak rhetoric”
Lahore, Oct 11 (ANI): Pakistani-Americans have reportedly urged upon Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama to tone down his ?bombing Pakistan? rhetoric. During his presidential debate with Republican rival John McCain, Obama had last week said that if he won the poll, he would launch strikes on Pakistan?s territory in search for Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, and also vowed to crush the international terrorist organization.

Susan Rice And How Osama Got Away
“On Monday, Barack Obama is expected to announce that he has chosen the same Susan Rice as his UN Ambassador and that the position will be elevated to a Cabinet Level job. Here’s more on the country’s next UN Ambassador”: She deserves a hefty portion of blame for the fact that Osama bin Laden wasn’t neutralized during the 1990s. “The FBI, in 1996 and 1997, had their efforts to look at terrorism data and deal with the bin Laden issue overruled every single time by the

Obama: bin Laden's 'tightening 'noose'
by Mark Silva Katie Couric has interviewed President-elect Barack Obama - and we assume she didn't ask him what newspapers and magazines he gets his information from - for a special that will air on the eve of Tuesday's inauguration. Excerpts will be broadcast this evening on the CBS Evening News. In light of the newest communiqué from the still-elusive Osama bin Laden, the al Qaeda leader responsible for 9/11, Couric asks Obama how important capturing him still is. " My preference...
