US Ally: If bin Laden behaves, no arrest.

Press secretary to the president of Pakistan tells ABC Osama bin Laden will not be captured if he agrees to live ‘peaceful life’

Major General Shaukat Sultan Khan, press secretary to the president of Pakistan, tells ABC News that – if found – Osama bin Laden won’t be arrested, as long as he promises to behave like a “peaceful citizen.”

…“The surprising announcement comes as Pakistani army officials announced they were pulling their troops out of the North Waziristan region as part of a ‘peace deal’ with the Taliban,” reports ABC.

Pakistan will also be returning many Taliban prisoners and seized weapons.

According to VOA, “security experts say Afghan insurgents and remnants of Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida terrorist network have managed to establish several bases in the region.”

Earlier today, President Bush cited Pakistan’s help in working together “to stop the world’s most dangerous men from getting their hands on the world’s most dangerous weapons,” in a speech on the global war on terror he gave in Washington, D.C. to the Military Officers Association of America.</i>

Blame this on Clinton, you lying sacks of shit.
