What is Obama's time frame for capturing Osama?

To capture Bin Laden, you have to send troops into Peshwar in Pakistan. To do that without destabilizing a nuclear power and letting their weapons fall into the hands of the pro-taliban party headed by Shariff, you've got to do it with the support of both the military chief and the prime minister, who do not agree. The Prime Minister, Zardari, is weak and holding on to power by a thread over Sharif and in constant fear of a military coup. If he allows the US into the region, he'll almost certainly loose power.

That's why Bush limited himself to a few minor raids and so far, Obama appears to be following suit. Obama is building up troops in Afghanistan, which will probably be used partly along the Pakistani border to help prevent incursions by the Taliban and Al Qaeda who are hiding out there.

So to capture Bin Ladin without creating worse problems, Obama first has to create some changes in the politics of the region. That will probably be easier to do when Bilawal Bhutto Zardari returns from Oxford in a few years, but the region can't really wait that long. However, it will take a while. It's pretty hard to put a time frame on it, but I would like to see Clinton and Obama working within that region more than they appear to be so far, but it's still pretty early. They are just beginning to establish the new US position in international relations.

Have not heard of anything seance the election race hummmmm a little BS again seems his change is just the change of his promises. And to the answer of if Bush would have done his job how about if I did not have sexual relations oh wait I had sexual relations Clinton did his and took Osama when he was offed him after the first attack on the world trade center and the uss Cole and several other American interests. PEOPLE OF AMERICA RISE UP AGAINST YOUR GOVERNMENT TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK.

Osama and Obama are still talking about the details...it'll be a catch and release.

Right after he throws him a big birthday party.

Just think, if little georgie bush had done his job and gone after him instead of going after his "legacy" in Iraq, it might not be an issue today.

McCain said he knows where he is but will not tell anybody because he lost,he did not even tell Bush,go figure.

17,000 troops are leaving for Afghanistan. Do you keep up with the news or do you ignore it?

Neocon, why didn't you ask your buddy criminal Bush about Bin Laden?
