Why hasn't Osama been found?

He will never be 'found'. This administration has too much fun with their fear mongering.  \n\nHis name is synonymous with Al Qaeda and terrorism. As long as he is still roaming around the earth, this administration will do anything and everything it 'feels' it has to power to do in the name of national security.

If Osama is caught, then the Bush administration won't have the war on terror to hang over the American people. He uses Osama to be able to get away with wars, and phone taps, and invasions of privacy. He needs to keep the people in fear.

I use to think BinLaden would be "captured" just in time for election purposes, but have changed my mind. I don't believe it's in the best interest of the government/military to find him at all. They're better off just looking for him. As long as BinLaden remains free, they know they've essentially got a blank check to continue spending. The war on terror has simply replaced the Cold War. Substitute BinLAden for the USSR and terrorism for communism, and you've got unchecked spending in the name of defense.

We know Osama only with a beard.  His ability to evade intelligence on his where abouts is amazing.  There is the possibility that he is in North America somewhere.  There is to much research in other places and not enough in our back yard.  Osama has family involved with big business in North America.

Fools, don’t you mean Osmama bin forgotten. Bush has such close ties with Osama’s family that he will never be found. And if he is it wont really be him. Do you think we actually caught Sadamm- LOL. Right a man worth billions upon billions is hiding in a hole unshaved ungroomed and stinkin.

Most likely in the very rural and hard to search regions of Pakistan and possibly the border of Afghanistan.  It is reported that the tribesmen then believe in him and defend him (hide him) and will make it impossible for us to capture him.

It is not known where Bin-Laden is, but it is true he is often believed to be in Pakistan. \n\nPakistan is not necessarily cooperating with the US. On a large scale, they are. But at the local levels, there is widespread sympathy for Bin-Laden and terrorists. Remember that Pakistan is near many of the Middle Eastern trouble spots- Palestine, Afghanistan, and Iraq. \n\nFor a clear example of what I mean, recall the al-Zarqawi near-capture. Pakistan's troops surrounded a village believed to house al-Zarqawi, the number one man in the Iraq insurgency. US politicians and military leaders asked to send American troops to capture him. Pakistan refused. A day later, when the Pakistan Army moved in, they found Zarqawi had escaped through their lines. This could not have happened without sympathizers. Also, the fact Pakistan refused to cooperate shows shaky loyalties.\n\nYou are right in saying Iran is very hostile. But everyone is watching Iran because of nuclear weapons now, and Iran knows it. They are fanatics, but they are not stupid. I doubt Iran would want the immense world pressure of housing Bin-Laden, because no country REALLY wants an all-out war with the United States of America.\n\nI think, also, that questioned villagers in Afghanistan are mostly indicating that Bin Laden is in Pakistan. \n\nRemember, civilians are not told everything. I bet the CIA and military intelligence has a lot more data on Bin Laden than we do. US troops conduct regular sweeps for terrorists in Afghanistan, and their information brings us steps closer to finding the mastermind of 9/11.

Probably because he's in Pakistan and we don't have the right to go there and look for him.

I don't think it will make much difference in the war now that he's gone.  The war will still go on as long as people keep shooting.\n\nAs to Bin Laden, I really don't think we'll ever find him.  The government's been looking for him since even before 9-11 and they haven't caught up with him yet.

Because liberals know that it ISN'T easy to find Osama.  Nor do they want him found, because they share so many of his views.  Not only that, but according to liberals, 9/11 was President Bush's fault, not Osama's.  They never have a bad word to say about Osama.  Both liberals and Osama hate America and doubly hate President Bush.  Osama's continued freedom, combined with his thumbing his nose at the President, delights liberals.  If Osama wrote a book and announced that he was making an appearance at Barnes & Noble for a signing session, liberals would be lined up for miles to meet him. Remember: the liberal's fundamental desire is never to solve a problem, but rather to create a costly government program to institutionalize and perpetuate the problem.

You'd achieve more by using those of the UK, French & US governments and other members of the 'World Management Team' (GEC, Microsoft, BP, GM, Ford, et al). They are the one's responsible for Osama & Co. at the end of the day. Osama's just an excuse for keeping us all suppressed with new laws, I.D. cards, oil dependancy, etc.

JESUS AND GOD LOVE EVERYONE. I'M JUST SURE THEY ARE VEY DISAPOINTED IN OSAMA. OSAMA WILL GO TO A PLACE OF HIS OWN MAKING AND IT WONT BE VERY NICE. WE REAP IN HEAVEN WHAT WE SOW ON EARTH. HE'S IN FOR A SHOCK, NO VIRGINS FOR HIM!

I would not discount the Mossad too fast. They surely know where he is. Either the CIA does not want to 'find' him as that would take the will away from a great number of Americans to keep fighting...or the Mossad does not tell us for the same reason.

Simplistic to the extreme...Osama is pretty much out of the picture. He can't do much from a cave in the wilds of Pakistan. Sending orders by Carrier pigeon doesn't work in this era. \nWe are fighting a losing war because we are *far* to worried about world and leftist US opinion. We should take the gloves off and not be bothered about civilian deaths or a blown up Mosque or 50.

Osama is nothing but a puppet....\n\nit is because of him that so many innocent people in afghanistan were killed due to carpet bombing...\ncarpeting bombing people who can't even find a single bread to eat..and after all that he is still safe n sound...comes on international TV channels and gives lectures..telling people what they should do and what they shouldn't...where as he can't even come out from his own hole...\n\ni being a muslim would shoot him right in the head coz of him so many people r now withouth their father and mothers and brothers and sisters......he is not doing any good to anyone.....\n\nand tell me one thing....the most wanted guy in the whole world....how does he records his own lectures and those lectures are deleieved to internaional TV channels and they don't know who brought the video....do u think thats possible?? if america was so anxious to catch him all the CIA agents would have been around AlJazeerah round the clock checking each and evertything which comes in and goes out.....\nso its just a political drama...nothing else...

Nobody except Bin Laden and his closest followers know where Bin Laden is hiding. The google earth is not a good enough statelite to view single peoples on earth and go close enough to get a good view of their faces.

It was hidden because a plausible cover story was needed to buy time for the PTB and USG to get their versions straight.  Never forget Osama and Saddam were creations of the USG.  Don't let the formerly-free press and the inept teachers re-write recent American history.  We need to remember the Shah of Iran, the Hostages, Iran/Contra, Bush Sr.'s CIA Drug Running/Clinton as Gov. & Mena, Airport, etc....etc...\n\nI am waiting for the late 1980's-2000 edition of the declassified USG throw away documents...there will be interesting reading.
