    Pakistan Offers Osama Bin Laden A Deal

    For an American Major Non Nato Ally a very strange comment that Osama Bin Laden will not face capture in Pakistan "if he agrees to lead a "peaceful life" ".

    Major General Shaukat Sultan Khan is the Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations of the Military of Pakistan and the Press Secretary to General President Pervez Musharraf .

    In military dictatorships such as Pakistan, pronouncements from such a quarter can be construed as being as it were straight from the horses mouth or in this case shoud that be straight from the horses rear end.

    A death wish on display or an astute understanding of minimal consequences of such pronouncements / action ?

    Pakistan Offers Osama Bin Laden A Deal

    September 5, 2006 10:43 p.m. EST
    Matthew Borghese - All Headline News Staff Writer

    Islamabad, Pakistan (AHN) - After signing a truce with pro-Taliban militants on its border with Afghanistan, Pakistan is now extending the olive branch to America's most wanted man; Osama bin Laden.

    Pakistani officials tell ABC that the leader of the terror group al-Qaeda, and the mastermind of the September 11th attacks in the U.S. will not face capture if he agrees to lead a "peaceful life."

    Major General Shaukat Sultan Khan says that "as long as one is being like a peaceful citizen" bin Laden "would not be taken into custody."

    Currently, the U.S. says bin Laden is hiding in the mountainous and tribal regions on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan; yet intelligence is unable to pinpoint a specific location as of yet.

    Now, ABC News consultant Richard Clarke, the former White House counter-terrorism director explains, "What this means is that the Taliban and al Qaeda leadership have effectively carved out a sanctuary inside Pakistan."
    The news comes as yet another blow as the White House says America is still no safer five years after 9/11 than it was on the day it was attacked. President Bush is currently touring the country, making speeches to shore up support for the GOP during an election year.

    Its official then that the Pakistani Armed Forces are a failure and have given up.
    Not that it was a secret earlier.

    The point is - what does Bush do now?

    Since Pakistan has abbrogated sovereign control of the territory, NATO troops can do what they like there?

    Now this is bloody confusing and I wonder what the US members here make of this.
    US welcomes peace agreement with Pakistan
    http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/a...ow/1960630.cms
    WASHINGTON: Cautiously welcoming the peace agreement signed between the Pakistani government and pro-Taliban militants of the areas bordering Afghanistan, the Bush administration has said the pact was in Islamabad's interest but added that it was not aware of the details....

    Cheers!...on the rocks!!

    US should cut a deal with Osama and provide 72 virgin Baywatch beauties to him as well as his honchos Al-Zawahiri & co. This can ensure a lasting peace & end to WoT.
    If at first you don't succeed, call it v1.0!

    Osama is known to be a hardcore Whitney Houston fan. I guess, 72 Whitneys in heaven. Even Allah cannot help him with Whitney's virginity.

    It is a possiblity.
    And if that happens we'd still be led to the earlier question : Who would succeed Musharaff?
