Atlantic Community:Global Must Read Article "Osama: a Reality or a Mirage?"

Pepe Escobar, Asia Times Online | November 1, 2010

Osama Bin Laden is again talk of the town with the latest release of his audiotape. ++ US intelligence agencies, along with the military muscle of the entire NATO alliance, have been in search of Bin Laden. ++ Yet, why even after a decade they have remained unsuccessful in their efforts to find the “culprit'' is a question asked by many. ++ Some suspect Pakistan’s intelligence agency's hand in protecting Bin Laden and Co. while others speculate that what we see today is only a mirage of Osama and nothing else.

Interesting. What is also a major concern and even more puzzling is the fact that the United States continues to offer and support -$2 billion just 2 weeks ago- not only the ISI, but the Pakistani military. It is troubling that the United States gives money in support of operations with no clear indication of a return.

It is sad overall how much money the United States spends on "defense". We have so much intelligence information and supposedly the best military in the world and we spend so much money on this matter and we still can't seem to find one guy? We need to start spending our money elsewhere
