Is anyone really dumb enough to think catching Osama Bin Laden will affect terrorist organizations at all? Al Qaida probably has a long list detailing its line of succession already. People that insist that we should go after Bin Laden are just ignorantly saying what they hear from other people.

Symbolic victories are very important in this media war. His head would pay big in the media.

Let me make sure I understand.
Clinton was bad for not killing Bin Laden before 9/11 happened.
Now that 9/11 has happened and a bunch of other terrorist attacks have occured and we know what a threat Al qaeda is, it no longer important to capture and kill Bin Laden.
Does anyone believe for a SECOND that if a Democrat was president right now the conservative right would be screaming and yelling on every channel and chat room in creation about how the president is ineffectual because he hasn't caught Bin Laden yet?
LMAO... you have to love the hypocrisy. It's astounding...

I believe the smart thinkers believe that bin Laden is already dead. They don't see any advantage to spreading this belief simply because it was cause martyrdom amongst the bin Laden worshipers. This guy is relatively harmless as a fugitive on the run as most people believe. He will become a vengeful and very dead arab turned martyr if the bin laden fan club starts thinking otherwise! This, nobody needs!

Bin Laden is the Figure head of the Terrorist war against the West. To capture him would affect the morale of the terrorists and that is about it.

Capturing Osama bin Laden would really put a damper on future terrorist activities!!

Should we catch the guy who just raped the woman? Or since there are so many others out there we should just ignore him?
Sure, we need to focus on terrorists. But I wouldn't say give up on the guy. If we see him we shouldn't let him go.
Besides, Bush was the first to say we should go after Bin Laden. He still hasn't brought the guy to justice.

I agree!
Why waste time looking for Bin Laden when you can go directly to the CIA.
Did you know that Osama Bin Laden was a CIA agent under the the "Tim Osman"?

The hunt for Bin Laden, though fruitless so far, is a majorpart of the "War on Terror". He is the figurehead of world terrorism, though not the leader of a vast organization. Yes, he would be and has been replaced with others, but tha is not a reason to stop looking for him.

You're less smart if you think the Iraq war diversian will solve anything. Avoid Bin Ladin as you have in the past and lose more citizens. Real logic.

Bin Laden was responsible for terrorist attacks. We are going after him so he can face justice, not just to prevent more attacks.
