wow, that's actually a cool looking place to hide out.  Too bad he's using it against us.  If it's the greatest thing to die for allah, how come he's hiding out in a cave.

Is that suppose to be serious?  How do they know what the cave looks like inside?  Or for that matter where it is located?  If we actually know where he is located, then why is that mountain still standing?

US targets bin Laden's fortress (Nov 29)

 

OSAMA BIN LADEN and the Taleban leadership have lost control of their troops, the Pentagon said last night as American forces concentrated on a deep mountain bunker in which they believe the al-Qaeda leader is hiding.

The extensive cave complex near the village of Tora Bora, south of Jalalabad, has become the focus of US bombing after the latest American and British intelligence pinpointed it as bin Laden’s hiding place.

Thanks Hillhound for the link.  They showed this on the local news the other day, but I wanted a closer look.  I think it ran in some papers around the country too, but we don't get the paper.
