Why is the CIA or Mosad failing to track osama bin laden?

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.

9/11 has been in works since Operation Desert Shield. Even afterwards, while we flew Operation Northern and Southern Watch from Prince Sultan Airbase over Iraq, Bin Laden was fuming at the USA "infidels" being so close to Mecca. It was going to happen someday. GWB just drew the wrong card.

Osama Bin Laden has done the greatest damage to the Islamic cause and ironically, the USA has got the best lesson for its faulty diplomacy in World politics. But, what seems justifies your apprehension that till the Islamic countries do not subdue to the might of the USA and the UK, the war against terrorism would not subside.

Nonsense, Osama bin Laden's intelligence and elloquence has been beefed up by many in the media. Other less biased sources such as the veteran BBC correspondant John Simpson have described him as childish by nature and slightly unstable mentally. There is also no reason to suspect that he is acting on behalf of the US government, his practice is consistant with the general Islamic resurgance in the Arab world.

I can only hazzard a guess.\n\nRegardless of whether they were linked before 9-11, they are now.\n\nStill a problem to be dealt with and the media is finally noticing.

Much of the information that you want lies with the FBI and related agencies and is confidential.  But, you can know what is public.\n\nThe United States Department of State is offering a reward of US$25 million for information leading to bin Laden's capture. An additional reward of $2 million is being offered by the Airline Pilots Association and the Air Transport Association. While bin Laden's current whereabouts are unknown, the most popular assumption is that he is hiding in Pakistan's tribal region of Waziristan bordering Afghanistan, or, more specifically, near the small Pakistani market town of Chitral. If bin Laden is in Pakistan, it is possible that he benefits from local support by the Waziri. With the inhospitable mountainous terrain and uncertainty about the cooperation of Pakistani intelligence, the United States faces many difficulties in pursuing his capture, despite a wide array of sophisticated eavesdropping sensors deployed in the region.

The USA Govt. claims it was Osma Bin laden, but it's doubtful.

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.

I also tire of the constant updates of Osama bin Laden.  However, (not defending him in any way whatsoever) wouldn't you hide if the United freakin States was after YOU?

Osama is there or not only God Knows.But there are many Osamas Fighting for injustice,fighting for freedom fighting for peace in the Afghanistan.The media is controlled by US.So they show everything in one or other way favouring USA.So we cannot see the ground reality.Usama alone cannot do anything.

Yes I do because at the battle of Tora Bora in Afghanistan in December of 2001, we had Osama Bin Laden cornered, and rather than using Special Forces troops to either nab him or just kill him, our military paid Afghan War Lords to go after him, and god knows where he went or what happened. Point being, he got away. Ever since then, I think America has had a black eye because the rhetoric of our president after 9/11 was we're going to get him dead or alive, and it never amounted to what he promised.

Certainly not.  Bin Laden took credit for it, and he and his buddies plotted it without any help from the US.  It's ridiculous to even give this idea a moment's consideration.

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.

concidering how our govenment couldnt even prevent 9/11 from happening or FIND Bin Laden, trust me, the govenment isnt as capable as they WANT you to think they are. Theyd rather control thru fear and misinformation.
