British Paper Says Bin Laden Cornered
A British paper, the Sunday Express, is reporting that Bin Laden is surrounded and trapped like a rat, waiting only for Bush to give the order to take him in:
The report goes on to say bin Laden and his men "sleep in caves or out in the open. The area is swept by fierce snowstorms howling down from the 10,000-feet high mountain peaks. Donkeys are the only transport". The special forces are "absolutely confident" there is no escape for bin Laden. All are waiting for the order to go in and get him.
"The timing of that order will ultimately depend on President Bush. Capturing bin Laden will certainly be a huge help for him as he gets ready for the election. It will be an even bigger bonus than getting Saddam."
Our view: It's one newspaper's report, unsubstantiated, and we don't think anyone takes him out alive.
