Osama Bin-Ladin is a six foot tall Arab on dialysis...Why is that so fucking hard to find?

WHERE'S OSAMA...REMEMBER HIM? LAST OCTOBER WE WERE TOLD HE WAS NOT IN TORA BORA.

FLASHBACK QUOTES:

"Let's talk about what happened when we had the world's number one terrorist, number one criminal, cornered in the mountains of Tora Bora. What did the president do? He outsourced the job of capturing him, just like he outsourced a lot of American jobs. He gave it to Afghan warlords who only one week earlier were fighting against us."
~ John Kerry, Oct 21st, 2004 (AP Wire

"My opponent is throwing out the wild claim that he knows where bin Laden was in the fall of 2001, and that our military passed up a chance to get him at Tora Bora. You might remember that discussion during our debates. I think this is unjustified criticism of our military commanders in the field."
~ George Bush, Oct. 26, 2004 (FDCH Political Transcripts)

"Some intelligence sources said he was; others indicated he was in Pakistan at the time; still others suggested he was in Kashmir. Tora Bora was teeming with Taliban and Qaeda operatives, many of whom were killed or captured, but Mr. bin Laden was never within our grasp."
~ Tommy Franks, Oct 19th, 2004 (New York Times)

"Franks stated repeatedly it was not at all certain that bin Laden was in Tora Bora. He might have been there or in Pakistan or even Kashmir."
~ Dick Cheney, Oct. 25th, 2005 (AP Wire)

"The Senator's understanding of events doesn't square with reality. American Special Forces were actively involved in the search for terrorists in Tora Bora, and that intelligence reports at the time placed bin Laden in any of several countries."
~ Tommy Franks, Oct 23rd, 2004 (AP Wire)

WELL, YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS...BUT TOMMY, GEORGE AND DICKY WERE LYING!

From the NY Daily News:

DOCUMENT: BIN LADEN EVADED U.S. FORCES

A commander for Osama bin Laden during Afghanistan's war with the Soviet Union who helped the al-Qaida leader escape American forces at Tora Bora is being held by U.S. authorities, a government document says.

The document represents the first definitive statement from the Pentagon that bin Laden, the mastermind of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, was at Tora Bora and evaded his pursuers.

The document, provided to The Associated Press in response to a Freedom of Information request, says the detainee held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, "assisted in the escape of Osama bin Laden from Tora Bora." While not identified by name or nationality, he is described as being "associated with" al-Qaida and having called for a holy war against the United States.

In an indication that he might be a higher-level operative, the document says the detainee "had bodyguards" and collaborated with regional al-Qaida leadership. "The detainee was one of Osama bin Laden's commanders during the Soviet jihad," it says, referring to the holy war against Soviet occupiers in the 1980s.
