Osama won't be popping down the shops quite yet.

The news item touring the world at the moment, is the so called truce between Pakistan forces and pro Al-Qaeda/Taliban militia groups.
The mainstream media has swooped on it, put 2 and 2 together and as usual get 5. They are claiming that Osama is being left off the hook, can now cash in his Superannuation and retire from terrorism at a rest home in North Waziristan.
I have been on the web trail for a while now and the big picture is a bit different.
The Pakistani government have been making deals since 2001 to get their hands on Al-Qaeda and Osama. The tactic they have been using is to play one mountain tribe against another in order to slowly isolate pro Osama groups. Pakistani forces at times would threaten to use force against one tribe, unless that tribe attacks another tribe who harbor pro-Osama forces.

A strange twist on the Domino theory indeed. Push one an the rest will go.

Obviously Pakistan are sick of fighting a war against tribal groups that are merely caught in-between. A 25 Million dollar reward is still on Osama's head. The Pakistani government has not given Osama amnesty and will continue to fight militias that do not put down their arms. (Click Link).

Tribes in Waziristan may well be talked around to getting the reward money, now they don't have to worry about government forces.

This may well be the move that snares Osama,but the mainstream media have already made up their minds that Pakistan and the US have given up.
Don't believe them, they have no idea!
Should you trust me? Yes!
Ask a question and find out.

Note: Odds of 10-1 are available for Osama to be caught before the year ends.
Good odds and worth a small punt.
