Osama is threatening the USA again, why can't we find and exterminate him?

We can and for some reason we don't want to.  I read a Time Magazine article a couple years back around the anniversary of 9/11 it was a time table of the hunt for Bin Laden.  It noted at the very least 4 times when Osama Bin Laden was in the sites of our fire power and we hedged.  Once he was with a Prince of EAU and we didn't want to risk injuring Arab royalty- do we not have sharpshooters?  for another article that is amazing go to this url:\n\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11522484/from/RL.2/\n\n\nOr this one:\n\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11522484/from/RL.2/\n\nor this one:\n\nhttp://www.rushonline.com/visitors/osama.htm

Yes, he is protected by factions of the IIS, the Pakistani counterpart to our CIA. I think we will get him, but I don't understand why it's taking so long. I also think he's in a more urban area than people realize.

He is not wanted in America.  We do not want him here.   PERIOD!!  \n\nIn fact, I do not think we want him anywhere.

No, my guess is that we've already found him and are monitoring him heavily. If it were publically annoucned that he was captured, then a LOT more people would want America to pull out of Iraq/Middle East. So I think we've found him, I mean, he's not really a major threat anymore. Did you see his last tape? It was a 'Oh well I guess I'll compromise and stop killing people if you leave Afghansitan and Palestine, but if you don't and you do find me, I will die a holy man.' the point is is that he is clearly beginning to fear his own death, so something's up.

Good question. I strongly believe that our dear government knows where he is. Why haven't they caught him? Perhaps because it is to the US interest that he is not caught yet. The US govt always knows everything, but at times they pretend like they don't, so that they may allow their enemies on act on something so that the US can censor people, use documents like the Patriot Act and who knows, perhaps a National Marshall Law. Govts are shaddy.

Osama bin Laden, aka "Tim Osman", had been a paid CIA asset for years.  What kind of message would we send to our current CIA assets if we busted or killed this guy?  No, let him live out his retirement in peace and continue to serve as the big name bogieman that they can whip out whenever they need to raise the "terror alert" level.\n\nhttp://www.orlingrabbe.com/binladin_timosman.htm\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Tim+Osman

hahaha... he seems to be on the path... it's kind of odd how he said Osama isn't a priority anymore... a man that killed 3,000 on U.S. soil isn't a priority?\n\nInstead we invade Iraq (that had nothing to do with terror) and are talking about Iran (which is years away from the bomb at best)... God forbid we deal with the man that killed thousands of Americans...\n\nWhy is it that Conservatives love to point out that "Clinton could have caught him" (which sure maybe he could have), but after he killed 3,000 they don't care that we're still not going after him? Just because Clinton failed, it's not an excuse for you to fail... in fact, there is much less of an excuse now...

Last time I checked, we didn't turn Afghanistan into complete chaos.  Besides, isn't that where Osama is?  And isn't he the REAL threat, not Hussein?

i don't think osama will be caught !! he rather commit suicide than being captured. also the western countries will not be eager to catch him as if he's caught, there's no other main culprit to blame on.

Nobody really knows where he is atm, he might be held in other countries in asia and the middle east, like pakistan, iran, syria, lebanon, russia even.\nGod knows where the hell he is, for all we know he had a Godamn gender change!\nThe other day i heard in the news that they found evidence in which leads to Bin Laden being in Palestine, as in The Gaza Strip,\nI really hope someone finds him and kills him and his followers\n<3 Dave

They are not really looking for him anymore, the military resources are streatched to thin and Bush has hand cuffed the Inelligence agencies from looking for him where they might actually find him because it would mean one of our so called allies is harboring him and that would look bad for the Bush administration.

Judging by your past answers and questions, you have no grasp of how this Islamic Terror thing works. \n\nI bet the head alien who is planning the invasion is hiding in Pakistan!!\n\nLook at this link, this is the governments list of known religious terror organizations. Look at what the majority have in common. \n\nhttp://www.tkb.org/Category.jsp?catID=10&contentType=1&sortBy=0&sortOrder=0&pageIndex=0\n\n\nYes I am, they are all conected by Islam. The radical islamist around the world are unifed by their hatered of the west. We are not unifed so they have the upper hand.

This is only a guess, but I would bet that SOMEONE knows where he is.\n\nIt's possible that he may already be dead or in custody, but it cannot be announced due to the risk of attacks o American soil.\n\nI don't have any evidence to support my guess, but I find it hard to accept that we can find Saddam in a hole in the desert in just a few weeks, but after 4 years, can't find Osama. \n\nWho knows?!

You know, I've wondered that myself. Don't forget, Osama worked for the Central Intelligence Agency back in the 1980s when he was fighting the Russians in Afghanistan. I have wondered if they never dropped him off the payroll.\n\nAs to why he hasn't been arrested, even though the CIA knows where he is. It is because he is in Waziristan, which is in western Pakistan. The US government, and rightly so, is worried that an incursion into Pakistan to arrest Osama would destabilize the Pakistani government, potentially leading to their overthrow by fundamentalists.\n\nAnd as you probably know, Pakistan has nuclear weapons. Having fundamentalist loons with nukes is about the worst case scenario, period. So Bush lets Osama roam free because he wants to keep Musharraf in power.

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...

To Shug and Ben, you obviously DON'T remember 9/11. Osama bin Laden, a Saudi, attacked the United States on that day. However, instead of going after the person who attacked us, Georgie went after Iraq. Where is Osama? In Tora Bora, protected by the Conserviweenies who're scared of protecting us just because Pakistan is harboring a terrorist. As for Iraq, this is for oil. Where were you?
