mordant wit

The head of the German intelligence agency, in an interview published here today, said that Osama bin Laden had been able to elude capture after the American invasion of Afghanistan by paying bribes to the Afghan militias delegated the task of finding him.

The principal mistake was made already in 2001, when one wanted bin Laden to be apprehended by the Afghan militias in Tora Bora," the intelligence official, August Hanning, said in an interview with the German business newspaper Handelsblatt.

"There, bin Laden could buy himself free with a lot of money," Mr. Hanning said.


With all the high-tech gadgetry and sophisticated weapons, the American pussies had to rely on the poorly armed and untrained Afghans. Talk about common sense!
