Is the al Qaeda method of protecting a high-value target to keep running around the obstacle course over and over? Seems that's all those guys got.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistani forces have surrounded what may be a "high-value" al Qaeda target in Pakistan near the border with Afghanistan, President Pervez Musharraf told CNN.

"We feel that there may be a high-value target," Musharraf told CNN. "I can't say who."

The ferociousness of their resistance indicates that the al Qaeda fighters are protecting someone particularly significant, he said.

The military asked locals to leave and is flying helicopters overhead, "pounding" the area with artillery, he said.

U.S. and Pakistani officials have said they believe al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden probably is in Pakistan near the border with Afghanistan.

Catch him ASAP and give the voters time to come to their senses. Seven+ months may not be long enough for some people, though.

If he was to disappear quietly, it would probably be better in the long run, depriving the terrorists of a martyr, but I don't think Bush can resist the urge to grandstand... whatever the consequences might be.

If they catch him lets hope it sends the message that no matter who you are and no matter how much money you have you can’t hide.

Tree - if the pakistani's catch'em then it SHOULD (but it won't) make bush look even worse. does anyone remember all that "catch him dead or alive" b.s. ? bush himself said that "the number one goal of his administration will be the war on terrorism"

The way I see it, I don't care who's in the White House. All this partisan nonsense is BS. When it comes to this, the president is a figurehead. The whole country is on the same page here. Nobody wants this guy loose. Let's get him. Then, we can get back to bashing the candidates we dislike on the basis of issues that are divided on!

Why do you hate Kerry so much? You're blinded by your hatred. Hatred is not a family value. Hate will make you die 10% faster than cigarrettes. Your hate is clear and loud.

you read this Buck?

Senator John McCain added a rare bit of restraint to the escalating tone of the presidential campaign today, rejecting assertions by other Republicans that his colleague, Senator John Kerry, would endanger national security if elected.

``I don't think that,'' Mr. McCain said on CBS this morning. ``I think that John Kerry is a good and decent man. I think he has served his country. I think he has different points of view on different issues and he will have to explain his voting record. But this kind of rhetoric, I think, is not helpful in educating and helping the American people make a choice."

I actually love Kerry. And I'd really love to run my fingers through that hair of his. But I won't let my lusts turn into a vote for him.
