French troops saw Osama twice’
PARIS: A documentary says French special forces had Osama bin Laden in their sights twice about three years ago but their US superiors never ordered them to fire. The French military, however, said that the incidents never happened and the report was “erroneous information”. The documentary, due to air next year, says the troops could have killed the Al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan but the order to shoot never came, possibly because it took too long to request it. “In 2003 and 2004 we had bin Laden in our sights. The sniper said ‘I have bin Laden’,” an anonymous French soldier is quoted as saying. The documentary ‘Bin Laden, the failings of a manhunt’ is by journalists Emmanuel Razavi and Eric de Lavarene, who have worked for several major French media outlets in Afghanistan. A cable television channel plans to air the documentary in March. Source: http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default...-12-2006_pg7_9 |

Chances are there aren't that many New Yorkers in the French military.

To me it just sounds like sensationalism. If they even had an idea of the general area he was in they would've swept through it with every man they could spare trying to find him.
At least unless you buy into conspiracy theories like the Bush administration wanting to keep Bin Laden alive as a "boogieman"(How the hell do you even spell that?) to keep the public constantly supporting the War on Terror. Considering their past "successes," though, I have to say that any sort of conspiracy or plan along those levels sounds beyond them. I mean, hell, I think that the current US administration should dispel ALL conspiracy theories. If they can't even hide the fact that their WMD info was utterly lies, how can anyone believe that they can manage to keep the Roswell Incident, their ties to the Illuminati, MJ12, the Hollow Earth and the Moon Nazis a secret? I mean, hell, if ol' Cheney was a Zionist/Reptoid he'd have managed to lose his fake human skin in public at least once by now. That entire government is like a bad black and white comedy. |
