Powell may have to shut up sooner than later

The al-Qaida network has been decimated at top levels since bin Laden last appeared on television three years ago, Powell said. He said that bin Laden "is not showing himself in a way that he can be captured."

Dear Mr. bin Laden, Please come out and show yourself. Otherwise, we can't get you.

There. I think that will work.

"It does have the capacity to regenerate itself," Powell said of al-Qaida. But any future leaders are not as accomplished nor as experienced as "those who have been taken out" in the U.S. campaign that overthrew the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and the subsequent hunt for al-Qaida operatives, Powell said in an Associated Press interview.

Honestly. Get off the Ambien, Colin. Any "future" leaders will gain experience as time passes. Any future American Generals are not as accomplished or experienced as the dead ones, either.

"I don't know where he is," Powell said. "I don't know his state of health. I believe he is still alive, but I can't prove that. He clearly is in hiding and he is on the run."

No, I'm serious, Colin. Get off the drugs. "I can't prove he's alive, but he's clearly in hiding and on the run. Clearly that's the situation. I don't know where he is, because he won't come out and show himself. But clearly, he's on the run."

US Secretary of State Colin Powell has said that Washington continues to remain clueless about the whereabouts of Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, especially in the Tora Bora Hills of Afghanistan.

But clearly, he is in hiding and on the run. And what's the point in hunting for him if he won't pop up and show himself?

Washington continues to remain clueless, period.
