McChrystal says Bin Laden needs to go for al-Qaeda to be stopped

The top US commander in Afghanistan has told members of the US Congress that Osama Bin Laden will have to be captured or killed if the allied forces are to defeat al-Qaeda.
The top US commander in Afghanistan has told members of the US Congress that Osama Bin Laden will have to be captured or killed if the allied forces are to defeat al-Qaeda.

Testifying to the US Congress, General Stanley McChrystal said Bin Laden had become an iconic figure whose survival had emboldened al-Qaeda "as a franchising organisation across the world."

Osama Bin Laden is believed to be living in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

General McChrystal also said President Barack Obama's deployment of 30,000 extra troops to Afghanistan meant success in the country was possible but would be difficult.

He told the Congressional hearing the next 18 months would be crucial in Afghanistan, but that he did not expect to need more troops to get the job done.

He said coalition forces faced a complex insurgency in a country where the citizens lacked confidence in their government.

Afghanistan's President Karzai yesterday said he hoped the US and the international community would continue funding the government as a long-term partner.

Obama-McChrystal will get fired first before Bin Laden get caught.

(R) 2012 DAN QUAYLE Presidential Foreign Policy / Pentagon reform: Here you come to change subject again, over 100,000+ US troops, 18-month timeline to combat Taliban in Obama’s order on Afghanistan War, now to search Bin Laden again ? ... Bin Laden’s life is too low-key, either he dies someday, he will leave this world quietly and no world public will know silently except the Islamic society tell. Don’t worry about when Bin Laden will get caught to campaign Obama’s self-interested Afghanistan War, and more 30,000+ US troops deployment; like Robert M. Gates, Mike Mullen, Stanley McChrystal and others of Obama’s round-table members are going to GET FIRED in 2013 US President DAN QUAYLE’s White House “before” we reform a good mental healthy, winnable Pentagon; beside the 2013 US President DAN QUAYLE presidency has NO attempt to continue to fight Obama’s Afghanistan War because Afghanistan is NOT a root of America, but the U.N. Security Council will anti-Opium, anti-heroin, anti-cocain to incendiary bomb ALL Afghan-Taliban’s Opium farms. 2013 DAN QUAYLE presidency will being DAN QUAYLE leadership to Rebuild America after (2009-2012) Obama-Biden Socialisim government.

I've said it Before!

Bin Laden is a guest at GWB Ranch in Texas! Laughing all the way to the bank at how they both duped the World. We must remember that you reap what you sow and on that note I believe we are lucky to only have one 911 under our belt. As for bin Laden vs G.W.B. if I had to choose which one was a worse human being-GWB would win hands down. Why? Bin Laden does what he does for his people/ GWB does what he does for himself! Remember the USA has more civilian kills than the enemy!

Bin Laden is right here

You Pakis. bhosara wala..stop insulting
our incarnation of mighty Allaha -
Bin Laden - is happily with us. But he mourns
of constant drons falling into the gaands
of the Pakis.

He asks the readers to tell us, how to stop
