Subject: US: bin Laden escaped, more war to follow
Officials Believe bin Laden Has
Fled.
WASHINGTON and ONTARIO, Calif. -- U.S. and other anti-terrorism
coalition officials are beginning to believe that Osama bin Laden has
fled Afghanistan for Pakistan, two members of the Senate Intelligence
Committee said Sunday.
Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., who is traveling with other senators in the
region, told "Fox News Sunday" that Uzbekistan's military intelligence
service believes bin Laden has crossed the border into Pakistan.
Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., said bin Laden
and other top officials have probably escaped Afghanistan, but no one is
certain.
"Increasingly as our efforts to get them in Afghanistan have been
futile, there is a greater sense that they have, in fact, escaped, and
are probably in one of those tribal territories just over the border
into Pakistan," Graham said from Miami on ABC's "This Week."
Top military officials have said they don't know where bin Laden and
Mullah Mohammed Omar, the Taliban's supreme leader, are.
Meanwhile, President Bush mourned the first American soldier [officially
acknowledged] to die from hostile fire in Afghanistan and warned anew
that more deaths will follow as the war against terrorism enters a more
dangerous phase.
"This conflict will have its casualties as we pursue our objective,"
Bush told some 5,000 people at a town-hall gathering in Ontario,
California on Saturday.
Later, in Portland, Ore., he said: "I understand the war on terror is
going to go beyond probably 2002. I have no unrealistic aspirations
about a quick calender."
In both appearances, Bush strongly hinted that the United States will
widen its military campaign beyond Afghanistan, calling that country
variously the "first front" and the "first theater."
Bush, who will submit his new year's budget after his Jan. 29 State of
the Union address, suggested big wartime increases for the military.
"The defense of this nation is the number one priority of the budget of
the United States," he said to cheers from an audience that included
many in uniform.
Bush also responded to critics of anti-terrorism measures his
administration has taken such as military tribunals for foreigners and
letting investigators monitor phone calls and mail between some
terrorist suspects and their defense lawyers.
"We respect people's constitutional rights, and we will continue to do
so, but if we think somebody is fixing to hurt the American people, we
will move in this country," Bush said.
