How are we gonna fight bin laden if we pulled out?

Question

In 2002 we pullled the regiment looking for bin laden. So how are we gonna find him or perhaps why dont we go to the white house and pick him up. If we are gonna solve this war i think we should keep on looking because he has no access to planes and we have him trapped. i think it will only take about 6 months to catch him since he supposbly hiding in pakistnian mountains.

maybe 6 hours if he is in the white house

Answer 1

I think one nuke would insure his demise

Answer 2

Well, that assumes the government is treating him as a credible threat to the country. If the administration thought he was a serious threat, they should have eliminated him. He used to make an excellent foil for the more perverted plans of the neoconservatives. With a democratic congress or president, they will likely just see him as an enemy of the state to be eliminated at the earliest convenience.

In a way Bin Ladin is a nexus person, and assasinating him means 500 men stand up in his place. The smart way to make him go away is to address many of the reasonable concerns he has put forth.

For example : He says we have too many troops in the middle east and Saudi Arabia proper, guess what, he's right we do have too many troops in the middle east and Saudi Arabia.

He said we have to abandon Israel as our ally, That's a non-negotiable point. Israel is our historical ally and would surely be eliminated if we were to simply cut them off..

HOWEVER, gradually we should encourage the Israelis to be ALOT more friendly to their neighbors, the Israeli government doesn't help the US out here much at all, simply put as a simple review of history indicates perhaps if Israeli politicians made it their business to not be international scale as*h**es to every one of their neighbors and to not treat the Palestinians like the Germans treated Jews "back in the day", I suspect the Arab world could become alot less psychopathic towards them.

Neither one of these concerns is inconsistent and in fact both are highly CONSISTENT with long term US interests, so I say why not do them, give Mr. Bin Ladin a few less things to encourage recruitment to Al Qaeda and take some of the war funding and go about making a Mr. Fusion for every American instead of paying Mr. B's friends for their oil.

Answer 3

Apparently there is no great interest on the part of the Bush administration in actually catching Osama bin Laden. The focus of the administration’s efforts was shifted to Iraq for reasons that existed before 9/11.

Answer 4

And if Bin Laden dies, then what? Is he such a mastermind that every single terrorist will become completely unable to function without his leadership? It's a waste of time looking for him - he hardly does anything now other release the occaisional defiance to the West on tape. If he IS eventually found after spending tens of millions of dollars looking in every cave in Afghanistan and he's killed then he will just be replaced by someone else. Al Qaeda is not a cult of personality like Nazism was - they can function perfectly well without their leader.

Answer 5

If we had went after Bin Laden after 9/11 like Bush promised - "dead or alive", he would not be a threat now. Well, 2 years ago since the info that Bush de-classified was over 2 years old. We should have went after OBL instead of Saddam first, if we had, OBL would be pushing up daisies and there ain't no threat from that.

Answer 6

I think bin laden is the booger man and nobody wants to put him out of his misery..not yet anyway..but sooner or later he will get his!

the allies could have taken out Hitler during WWII but since Hitler was screwing up the war for Germany...then they let him remain in power until the end of the war.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sooner or later

Answer 7

Bin Laden was, or still is a CIA operative.

Answer 8

We could send Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwartzenegger after him.

Answer 9

Is Chavez' house white? He's probably drinking tea on the patio there as we speak.
