Not confirmed, but we'll see. If true, how in the world do we get off invading one foreign country after another?

Actually, I think this is on topic, almost :). If theres one thing about Y2k I've come to see its how interconnected this ALL is:

U.S. planes land in Pakistan for possible Bin Laden strike

SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Wednesday, August 11, 1999 NICOSIA -- U.S. military planes carrying commandos have landed in Pakistan in what appears to be the start of an offensive against Saudi fugitive bomber Osama Bin Laden, Arab reports said.

The reports said the U.S. warplanes landed in Islamabad on Monday. The United States has denied the report.

Bin Laden is believed to be hiding in Afghanistan and the ruling Taliban faction have called on Muslims to stop the incursion by Washington.

Al-Jazeerah television, monitored by the BBC in Jordan, said the two planes landed at two airports around Islamabad. It said dozens of U.S. military commandos took up combat positions near the planes and barred anyone from approaching the area.

Al-Jazeerah reported that the operation was in apparent preparation for a military strike against Bin Laden. Bin Laden has been accused by the United States of having responsibility for the bombing of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania a year ago that killed at least 226 people, including 12 Americans.

Earlier, the Afghani opposition on Monday accused the ruling Taliban of massacring hundreds of villagers in territory north of Kabul captured and occupied for three days last week.

"We do not have an exact figure, but initial estimates put it at between 200 to 300 people in different places," said Mohammad Aref, a spokesman for opposition commander Ahmad Shah Masood.

Pakistan has denied reports that it is helping Taliban in the current fighting in Afghanistan. "Pakistan has not extended any military assistance to Taliban. In fact it has proposed time and again the imposition of a United Nations-monitored arms embargo against Afghanistan," a statement by the Pakistani Embassy in Teheran said.

I don't like what Clinton did in Kosovo one bit, and await the outcome of the international organization's (name?) filing against him in Prague. However, when it comes to ridding the world of bin Laden, I cannot complain. On this forum yesterday there was a thread about this terrorist now having 20 suitcase nuclear bombs, and that IS even more alarming than Y2K. I expect he plans to use them in conjunction with the confusion/upheavals in 2000, to maximize his results. Ever since reading that thread, I have been stunned and praying mightily for our deliverance from those bombs! Whatever it takes, bin Laden must be stopped.

Elaine,

I hate to burst your bubble, but the suit against Klinton and his bunch pertaining to their actions in Kosovo has been thrown out. Go figure. Damn one worlders.
