They know where OBL is. Why don't they just nuke him? He's in the mountains with no other people around.

OBL is in Pakistan... Pakistan has done nothing to harm the US with terroristic threats or attacks so what would be the point in nuking them when it's just one person they are going after

The mountains would provide more than adequate cover from the nuclear blast. You couldn't guarantee that you'd get him. Also, imagine if you did this, and you did kill OBL. But you didn't know that you did, you had no proof. In that case, anyone can claim to be OBL and keep the message going, without a body you have no way of proving that you got him.
I think deploying a nuclear weapon to get 1 person is a little extreme too, don't you think? In all reality, it would have to be several nukes to blanket the area. The radiation would make the area uninhabitable for thousands of years, a lot of the fallout would go into Russia too, I'm sure that would make them very happy.

Well, first we could burn each village, murder all the old men and women, poison all the young children, and rape all the young women - just like the savages we claim to be 'fighting'. Genocide is not the answer to lasting peace. -RKO- 09/11/07
