We're taking bets that a needle in a haystack is easier to find...

Well the President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai says that we will catch Osama bin Laden sooner or later. I was kind of wondering if he knows where the Lindbergh Baby and Jimmy Hoffa are located. (If you don't know who they are look it up.) It has been over three years since 9/11 and we are no closer to catching him than we were then.

One would think that a 6'5" 160 lbs. 47 year old on dialysis would be pretty easy to spot and catch. But he has eluded us for years. Karzai did say that it would take some luck to catch them but you can't be a fugitive forever. Didn't Frank Abagnale Jr. (The guy from Catch Me If You Can) escape the law for ten plus years and he started out at 16 years old? I don't see it happening.

I hope that Karzai has a specially trained group of Jawas and Tusken Raiders because that is the only way you are going to find him in the desert. Either that or they should use the Spaceballs technique and literally comb the desert. Unfortunately Osama bin Laden will probably never be caught, but now that the Red Sox have won the World Series maybe I can wish for something else this Christmas.

They found the Lindbergh baby dead in the back yard.
