French officer: Bin Laden nearly captured

Sounds like the noose is tightening around Bush's family buddy.

PARIS - Osama bin Laden narrowly escaped capture by French troops working with American forces in Afghanistan, perhaps several times, the head of France's armed forces said Monday.

French soldiers are determined to capture the fugitive head of the al-Qaida network by the end of the year, Gen. Henri Bentegeat said Monday.

"Our men were not very far," Bentegeat told France's Europe-1 radio station. "On several occasions, I even think that he slipped out of a net that was well closed."

3. This means zip, nada, freebie

So they guy and his homies slipped out of a very tight net, and now they have no fucking idea where here is.

Essentially they are back to square one, covering ground is meaningless when looking for a moving target.
