Why cant we go after Osama the same way Saddam?

Question

Is the American Military not stong enough to dig out Osama and other Militants of his kind? We talk about terrorism every day, and we dessimated Iraq but what did positive respnse did we get in the end? There is no less of of terrorism throughtout the globe.

Answer 1

Because no one is going to attack the Lincoln bedroom at the White House where he is staying.

Answer 2

You have asked several questions and deserve several answers.

1. We have been going after Osama Bin Laden. If he is still alive, he has been marginalized. Once in a while he releases some sort of statement with a scary but ineffectual threat. Winning the war on terror does not depend on capturing Osama Bin Laden. If you will read your history, Adolph Hitler was never captured either. That did not keep us from winning WWII.

2. Our military is strong enough to dig OBL and other terrorists out. We located and captured Saddam Hussein. We located and killed Zarqawi. We have located and killed or captured a large number of OBL's lieutenants. We have not stopped looking for OBL.

3. In 1979 the Iranians seized our embassy in Tehran. In 1983, Hezbollah blew up the Marine barracks in Beirut. During the Clinton administration, Islamofascist terrorists attacked our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. They also blew up the Khobar towers and nearly sank the USS Cole. Eight months after George Bush (43) took office, Islamic terrorists attacked and destroyed the World Trade Center. Since September 11, 2001, can you name any major terrorist attack on US soil or against any US interests??????? I have been paying attention, and I can not think of one. I believe that is a VERY positive response. Additionally, Moammar Khaddafi of Libya has renounced his weapons of mass destruction programs and is no longer sponsoring, training or harboring terrorists. And then there is the small matter of Salman Pak south of Baghdad. The Hussein government used that as a terrorist training facility. They had a Boeing 727 fuselage there that was used to train to hijack aircraft. That facility is out of business.

4. There actually are far fewer terrorist raids now than prior to the attack on the World Trade Center. There is a lot more coverage now which is why there appears to be an increase in Terrorism world wide. Most importantly, there has not been any attacks on US soil, which makes it a lot safer for you.

Answer 3

OK Iraq was a ****-hole when Saddam was in charge too, so do think America caused Iraq to suffer, the only difference now is that they are killing themselves rather than being killed by Saddam.

and if the American Military wanted to we could bomb the Middle East into the stone-age, and I am pretty sure Osama would either be hit or all of his Friends would be dead and he would be alone in his cave.

The world is Lucky America fights with a conscience, if we fought like Europeans did before they became Pussys their wouldn't be much movement in the Middle East from living organisms

Answer 4

can't go after osama as you did to Saddam cuz osama don't have a special country live in it you try in Afghanistan but it didn't work cuz the terrorism have no land no rice no religion and this why we are afraid from it he is an invisible enemy you can't see him but every one mike his enemy with his hand the illegal way in resolving the world situation is the first reason that US and Britannia are the first place the terrorism go to it ...US didn't fight the terrorism no she make him strong cuz an angry simple person is the easy to attack and to make him believe that every person is a terrorist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!you will never stop the terrorism if US stay like she is in her politics

Answer 5

Saddam was the leader of a definite state, and many of the people he presided over didn't like him. So we were able to use the information from people who hated him in order to find his spider hole. Osama, on the other hand, is well-liked by people in the region where he is located (wherever that is), so trying to get information out of them is a useless exercise.

Answer 6

Remember Osama has said "If you kill me hundreds of Osamas will take after me and may be dangerous than me". Capturing/killing Osama means nothing on war against terrorism since the terrorism is being widely spread lik "BUSH" fire.

Answer 7

The terrain for one is totally different than what Sadam was hiding in- Osama has many, many caves apon caves to hide in, the area is much harder to clear and secure, and the american people are not willing to send even more soldiers abroad to suffer more losses than we already have and are...
It hopefully will happen that he gets found soon, but it will take time...

Answer 8

Either it's because he's simply smarter than Bush (who isn't?)
OR it's because they sh!t through the same hole.
Finding Osama Bin Laden is not like finding "Waldo." Even if Osama is strung up by his frank and beans, it will not rid the world of terrorists who are like him. It's just a revenge thing to want him killed (would be nice), but beyond that, terrorism will still be a problem.

Answer 9

Coz Osama being alive means more millions in Bush and Rumsfeld bank accounts.

Answer 10

We are bullies to the utmost. If The President and their croonies wanted to find Bin Laden they would do it. IF they can seek and find terriosts that are plotting to blow up planes in mid-air. Why can't they find Bin Laden himself. I love my country,but sometimes they are complete morons. I bet by the time Bush is out of office, he will "conviently find Bin Laden", heck he might be in the States and we just don't know it. If foreigners can sneak over here, what makes you think he couldn't do the same. They strike where we are the most vulnrable and weak...

Answer 11

Bush has managed to get a lot of future tax payers killed[ he can promote not having enough workers to support the current social security plan]
He has also managed to create a lot of jobs in Security. I am sure his Daddy is real happy that the one guy who said he was going to kill him is out of commission. It's all good for Bush.
