Finally...."Sir, I can discern nothing in this painting other than bits of images that I may perceive hold some meaning. That is to say there is nothing set forth clearly by the painting, no truths at all that I perceive, and as such, I suppose it is an accurate statement of the truth about war. Yes I think so."

I think the Picasso parable works here. Interesting account of Tora Bora.

And on Nov 29, Vice President Dick Cheney told ABC's "Primetime Live" that, according to the reports that were coming in, bin Laden was in Tora Bora."I think he was equipped to go to ground there," Mr. Cheney said. "He's got what he believes to be a fairly secure facility. He's got caves underground; it's an area he's familiar with."
But it's irrelevant because W has said we don't have to worry about OBL anyway.
