That's a hard question for a citizen to answer when we don't know what kind of resources are available to go after him. It doesn't help when the President says he is not concerned about him and then dismantles the CIA team that was looking for him. That is an embarrassment to this country.
Further embarrassment comes from other countries around the world that have captured and already tried terrorists and have them sitting in prisons. One example would be the train bombings in Spain two years ago. The mastermind of the plot has already been tried and convicted in Italy and is on his way to Spain for another trial.
Why can't we do that. We are losing our claim as "greatest nation on earth"

You can all stop blaming Clinton and let the Republicans that controlled Congress at the time take some of the blame, maybe they shouldn't have hampered him with ridiculous investigations into his sex life. Yes Bush plan to invade a country that didn't attack us or support terrorism is just fabulous and clearly working very well.
What should have happened is we should not have supported Pakistan's dictator "President" the man took power and then because he makes nice nice with Bush we are like yeah its cool we will trust you to find Bin Laden.Oh and while you are at here is some nuclear weapons for being such an awesome ally in the war on terror.
There are only two possibles for this one, we either have him and will never admit that we do have him or he is long dead and his name is merely invoked at time of convenience for politicians.

Bush said years ago that bin Laden was not a priority. Making him a priority would have been a good start. But as Salem bin Laden, Osama's brother was one big investor in GW's oil company in Texas, and the whole bin Laden family does business with Bush Sr., maybe that is why Osama is not a priority.
If you decided to hide out in the mountains in Colorado with a group of men, how long do you think it would take the US military to find you with todays tech? It has been six years since Bush said he would go after and punish those who did 9/11. I think he has lived up to his priorities alright!.

Since both Clinton adn Bush let him slip away and the offer of money hasnt done any good perhaps if we offer 77 virgins in this life to the man who brings in his head, of course finding the virgins could be just as tough as capturing Bin Ladden, second choice hire the mob

well to catch him you have to try to do it.
currently he is very likely in Pakistan and nobody seems to care because Pakistan "is supposed" to be an ally!
A December 11, 2005 letter from Atiyah Abd al-Rahman to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi indicates that bin Laden and the al-Qaeda leadership were based in the Waziristan region of Pakistan at the time. In the letter, translated by the military's Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, "Atiyah" instructs Zarqawi to "send messengers from your end to Waziristan so that they meet with the brothers of the leadership...I am now on a visit to them and I am writing you this letter as I am with them..." Al-Rahman also indicates that bin Laden and al-Qaeda are "weak" and "have many of their own problems." The letter has been deemed authentic by military and counterterrorism officials, according to the Washington Post.
Pakistan should have been devastated just after the victory in Afghanistan until he was found or handed!!

Clinton is completely at fault for this whole thing. Ignore the liberal media when they said that he tried to get Bin Laden. He never did try because he was too busy getting busy with Monica.

a simple "no excuses" attitude... he was behind the attack that killed 3,000 on U.S. soil and that's more than enough of an excuse to attack any country that harbors him intentionally or unintentionally...
we've attacked many nations for much less...
zero tolerance can be accepted... full military intervention with a forceful swift movement... we have a decisive technological advantage against every country in the region...

He could have been caught a long time ago if the US had treated him like the murdering animal he was instead of give him weapons and training during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan.
He was known then to have hated the USA, but no one gave a sh*t.

Clinton saved Osama's life 10 times.
He wanted them to become friends.
(It doesn't work that way.)
You have no idea what is going on every single day to catch Osama.
You have no idea how many people have died trying to find him.
If you have a secret to know how to catch him, let our government know.
You will be a hero.

Clinton should have taken him in custody when he was handed over to him on at least 2 occasions. That would have solved a lot of problems.
