U.S. tightens noose on Osama, Saddam ...

according to Repuke Sen. Pat Roberts.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts said on Sunday the noose was tightening around both al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Roberts, who receives regular briefings on terror threats, said bin Laden apparently was hiding in a mountainous tribal region with peaks reaching 14,000 feet on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
"But that noose is tightening as well, as is the noose in regards to Saddam Hussein," said Roberts, a Kansas Republican.
Roberts, speaking on CNN's Late Edition, said bin Laden was using couriers and other low-tech communications methods to evade U.S. signal-tracking technology.

Hasn't he been saying this for weeks? Yawn.

....."right around the corner" when they caught that Ron Jeremy-looking motherfucker. More bullshit and propaganda.

Did you lighten the color on that pic of dumbya? For the first time I can see he has a deficit where he was packing a codpiece a few weeks ago. Pitiful.

Cher

That's the original. He lost the sock then lost his balance (i.e. drunk off his ass) for the picture.

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Thank you.

the briefings Pat Roberts gets from the neocons is that they all begin with:

Once upon a time...

tightening around America's neck

They have been saying that for two fucking years now.

"So, Senator Roberts, you say that the 'noose is tightening' around Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. Senator, why wasn't the noose fully tight last week? And, since you say that the noose is currently tightening, why isn't the noose already as tight as possible this week?"

just another Republican...

... trying to capture two terrorists with the same noose - won't kill either one.

The have been saying this about Saddam for weeks, and OBL for months. They are f'ing clueless.

...can shit straight let alone run the executive branch of the US government.

Bin Laden has so many health problems. I just don't see how he could have survived in the mountains that long.

will be? the axe is about to fall! the curtains going to come down on! soon to quartered? I'm so sick of hearing this rubbish. they're full of macabre shit it's not funny!

that's all these guys know how to say. :eyes:
