President George Bush wants to go out with a big bang by capturing Osama Bin Laden and cementing his legacy. He wants to enlist British Special Forces to achieve this dream.
Bush will arrive in England today on the final leg of his eight-day farewell tour of Europe. He wants to enlist the British Special Forces in a final attempt to capture Osama bin Laden before he vacates his presidency.
The defense and intelligence sources in U.S. and in England confirmed and are renewing their efforts to hunt the leader of the September 11 attacks. One U.S. intelligence source told
Times:
If he [Bush] can say he has killed Saddam Hussein and captured Bin Laden, he can claim to have left the world a safer place.
However, one baffling mystery is that the FBI never added the September 11 crime act in Osama bin Laden's "
Most Wanted" poster.
Bush will have tea with the Queen and probably share a
joke or two like he did earlier. And then will have a dinner with Gordon Brown and his wife Sarah and a private meeting at Brown’s official residence at No. 10 tomorrow and will then fly to Northern Ireland.
The British special forces Bush wants to enlist the Special Boat Service (SBS). The Special Reconnaissance Regiment have been taking part in the US-led operations to capture Bin Laden in the wild frontier region of northern Pakistan. Now, it will be the first time they will work the Afghanistan/Pakistan border for this special operation to capture Osama.
Intelligence experts believe Bin Laden is in the Bajaur tribal zone in northwest Pakistan. The U.S. and the British forces want to push Bin Laden towards the Afghan border, where the U.S. military and bombers with guided missiles will be waiting for him.
One intelligence expert told
Times:
Bush is swinging for the fences in the hope of scoring a home run.
