I heard this on the local talk radio station's news today. Hamid Karzai (leader of Afghanistan) is offering asylum to Bin Laden if he agrees to cease hostilities. He said that if the US does not like it, they can throw him out of power or get out of the country. So... what did the whole venture really net us in the end? Is this just opportune timing to stab the US in the back seeing as Bush is exiting and Obama is coming in?
