Bin Laden used to work for Bill Clinton when he was President of the United States.
Bin Laden is in fact a hired mercenary who will kill for money.
Does that answer your question?

I'm sure there are those who think he's dead already. But It's a question of the fact that he's hanging out in Pakistan keeping several layers of trusted couriers between himself and the outside world.
I suspect someday we will (accidentally probably) catch and or kill him.
You do have one problem however, While Mr. Bin Ladin is alive he is troublesome and able to inspire his people , however killing him is not necessarily helpful either, since he's still alive, he can always be linked to something that would damage his prestige in that area of the world.
For instance Al Qaeda has lost alot of street creditability, when they sanction attacks that are particularly brutal, beheading, assassination of families or acts of terrorism against children have all occurred "on his watch", and all of which were in fact genuinely decried by those who occasionally seek to support his brand of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism.
Furthermore if you kill him you turn him into a martyr for his cause and 50 men will stand up to take his place.
So there are at least a couple of semi-decent reasons why he needs to stay alive , if only long enough to see his vision of Islam defeated from without AND within.

Because he's most likely hiding in Pakistan and neither the DNC, nor any of the other liberal whiners on the left, have the backbone to support our troops and/or our President on a tactical strike in the Hindu-Kush.

Because he's hiding in a dirt hole in the floor of a cave. The hole is about six feet below ground, and covered by dirt....and he's lying really still, makes him hard to detect

Why don't all the other countries help? Why does US have to be responsible for everything? Why can't England find him? Or Germany?
He is in hiding--in a cave somewhere, very hard to find you know?

Why did the US have such a hard time catching Eric Rudolph? If it's hard to find fugitive in our own country, wtf makes you think it would be easy to find someone in a foreign country, Skippy?

because he is 6'4" tall, uses a cain, and relies on a dialysis machine to stay alive. How do you expect someone like that who blends in so well in any crowd to ever be captured???

Because the world is a HUGE place. And if he is hiding in the Afghan/Pakistan border, it is a vast mountainous terrain. It would be like finding a certain needle in a needle of haystacks inside a needle factory.

Cause he lives in a cave in the middle of nowhere.
