Last Night on David Letterman he made a joke about Osama Bin Laden's whereabouts. This has become a parlor game since Porter Goss said he knows where UBL is.
So, I'm weighing in. 2 weeks ago I went on record as saying UBL was in Iran. That was based on a news story over a year ago that placed him there. But, the more I ponder my navel I have come to these conclusions:
Afghanistan
Nope. If he were we would have his sorry behind already. Big money yields big prizes.
Pakistan.
Nope. The junta there would love to further endear themselves to the USA with the $$ that follows.
Iran
Not any more. If he were there we would play the axis of evil card and demand his extradition particularly after the recent election.
Russia
nope. Putin hates the Chechyns. UBL is their pal. Harboring UBL would be stupid.
Other republics too small to name. See Pakistan.
India is our 53rd state, after Iraq and Mexico with governor V. Fox presiding. They wouldn't dare.
Sherlock Holmes said once you have eliminated all other possibilities, what remains is the answer.
CHINA.
China has nothing to lose. It would love to poke this in the USA's eye. They would love to dare us to rattle a saber or two. Taiwan is in the lurch. Wal-Mart would be the big loser. Their stores would stand empty. Porter Goss is afraid of moving on whoever has UBL harbored. China by telling the USA to take a short walk off a long pier would elevate it's already burgeoning world power position much higher by doing this. That's why foggy bottom (the state dept) is trying to get this done diplomatically.
I'm taking bets. If you've got the guts I got the cash.
