Have you ever tried looking for a bird using binoculars, without knowing where the bird was, or without any physical evidence of it being there in the first place?
Now try doing that over many many square miles...
Drones can fly low, go into all sorts of terrain and show you the picture, but they are mainly of use to investigate the presence of concentrated troops, or keep and eye on something you already know is there.
Using drones for a systematic search is like the proverbial needle in a haystack.
Secondly there is the question of desire. Osama Bin Laden is a good boogey man, who represents the ennemy, who is the face the american public can focus their hate/fear on; he has an important role to play. If he was captured, then it could make people wonder why the 'war on terror' continues after 'terror' has lost its head, or whether that 'war' will even be winnable, if 'terror' can keep on growing new heads at will.

Why can't we find him? I think the government doesn't want to find him. Right after 9/11, the Bush administration allowed the American side of the Bin Laden family to flee the US, only about a day after 9/11. They were given clearance to leave the US on their own chartered aircraft. The media did NOT report this.

Isnt that what satellites are for? But If you dont know where Bin Laden is its a very time consuming process to scan the entire world in enough detail to identify each person before Bin Laden moves again. There are 6 billion people on earth remember

I am sure if they truly wanted to find and arrest him they could have done that by now. President Bush isn't that rushed any longer to find this mad man of the hills, caves etc. I do think this is a mistake if he is still alive.... just to brush him aside like he isn't important any longer. Trouble will always string along as long as he lives.

There has to be a siting on the ground first by intelligence and exact location given before they can zero in on their target. It has not happened.

I don't think the people who posses this power would use it for a negative cause (Helping the USA)

we can see lots of things from satelites. the insides of caves and the facial features of a single person are not things we can see.
