Osama may get away, Rumsfeld

Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Wednesday admitted that the United States might not be able to net Saudi renegade Osama bin Laden, but predicted that the end of the Taleban regime in Afghanistan was near

"Yes, I think there will be a post-Taleban Afghanistan," Rumsfeld told USA Today. "That is easier than finding a single person."

Rumsfeld told the newspaper that it would be very difficult to capture or kill Laden.

"It's a big world," he said. "The are lots of countries. He's got a lot of money and people who support him. I just don't know whether we'll be successful."

He said in any event Al Qaeda, Laden's terrorist network, would carry on without him. "If he were gone tomorrow, the same problem would exist."
