Petraeus: Capturing bin Laden still a primary goal

Be warned!! Bin Laden is still out there!

So says General David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. If he says so, it must be true. Why would an army general lie if it wasn’t true?

Like Che Guevara and Elvis Presley’s ghost, Bin Laden will never die. He still roams through the tortuous "extremely remote" Pakistan or Afghanistan mountain trails with his cane in one hand, dragging his dialysis machine behind him with the other (bad kidneys, remember?). His AK 47 strapped to his shoulder.

I thought being on a dialysis machine was basically a death sentence, but apparently one can live for twenty years or more as long as you flush your kidneys regularly. Good to know. 

BTW, Here’s a picture of a dialysis machine below.

I never knew these machines were so portable.

I imagine the generators required to run these machines in the rugged caves and mountains of Afghanistan must be super silent.
