"Speaking of guys on the lam, DEBKAfile says that Osama is alive and parked in Saudi Arabia." "But if it turned out to be true, this would put Bush into a very interesting position indeed."

Wouldn't be as bad a position as, say, Pakistan supplying North Korea with the technology to build a plutonium bomb, though.

The difference is hiding one man, and the ability of a "rogue" nation, a charter member of the "axis of evil", to kill 10 million in one fell swoop!

Nope, Bush would be in a worse position if an "ally" supplied North Korea with nuke tech than if Saudi Arabia had OBL within its' borders. If he could see that. Don't know that he does.
