Do you think McCain (or any other American) would be granted that same courtesy in the tribal areas of Pakistan?...
Not today, because we've screwed it over. But that doesn't mean that he cannot hire someone to do it.

Or 50 people have already been hired and hasn't gotten to him...

Or he's been dead for the last 5 years...

How go YOU know what's been done on this?...You got some info you'd like to share?...Or are you going with the logic "If I don't know about it, then therefore it's not happening"?...

If Bin Laden were dead, and the Bush administration knew about it, they would have publicized it heavily as proof they are great in hopes to have some sort of justification of their blunders.

My guess would be no...

Bin laden dying would be seen as martyrdom and be the biggest recruitmen tool going today...

Which sounds better to a jihadist on the fence?..."He's living in a cave while sending other people to die?"...

...Or..."Bin Laden believed in what he was doing so much he gave his own life for the cause."?...

Maybe you can start a Junior Political Wrinkles site for people like yourself who aren't quite ready for the grown up discussions.
That is too funny. No disrespect, DMan, but you guys crack me up.

The point was and is, if McCain were so set on getting Bin Laden, it would have already happened. The same is true with Bush. If we wanted him, we could have had him. Instead, we have distracted ourselves with Iraq, just like we did the first time around we screwed the pooch on the Afghanistan situation. When you are ready to put down the "everyone's out to get us" juice and start looking at how we've really F*cked ourselves with leaders you have called great, you might begin to make some mental progress.
Websites are not sentient beings. Websites can not care. But if they could care you would offend every one within which you posted.

You would offend them with your ignorance of the facts.

You would offend them with your sloth in looking up the facts.

You would offend them with your lack of curiosity to learn.

You would offend them with your grammar.

You would offend them with your vanity.

You would offend them with your breath.

You may go and practice better oral hygiene.

What you need is a mental douche.

Because your brain is fucked.

Bin Laden is a symbol. The entire world of extremist Islamism would still have been operating with impunity had we mounted a multi-billion dollar wild goose chase for OBL in 2001.

Tell us what you know about Blackjack Pershing and Pancho Villa, Brainiac.

US 'threatened to bomb' Pakistan

The US threatened to bomb Pakistan "back to the stone age" unless it joined the fight against al-Qaeda, President Pervez Musharraf has said.

General Musharraf said the warning was delivered by former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage to Pakistan's intelligence director.

"I think it was a very rude remark," Gen Musharraf told CBS television.

Pakistan agreed to side with the US, but Gen Musharraf said it did so based on his country's national interest.

"One has to think and take actions in the interest of the nation, and that's what I did," he said.

What if Bin Laden just climbs up on the gate and swings back and forth. Then what will McCain do? Will he go to hell?
