WHY AREN'T WE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT HIM?! I thought this was war on terror...yet the guy who was responsible for the deaths of amewricans on 9/11 is still promoting his plans, and Al Qaeda is getting LARGER. Can someone tell me which terrorists are more important to fight, than this one?

I'm sorry, GOP< but your unwillingness to find Bin Laden speaks louder than your rhetoric about fighting terror...

They don't want to...his presence helps the GOP retain power.

Both conservatives and liberals agree - The Media is responsible for misinforming America.
Liberals point to the bias on Fox and websites like worldnetdaily - just repeating all the goofy rhetoric from washington without investigating anything.
Conservatives point to the fact that CNN and MSNBC will air the entire video that Bin Laden produced and then go back to cheering for Hillary... or worshipping Paris Hilton (like she matters).
Our media sucks because we have gone too far from integrity to get some "ratings" that they believe translate to advertising dollars.
If I were a company - I would only advertise on RESPONSIBLE channels that investigate things that are more important than Britney Spears current weight loss program.

Al Qaeda's leadership has been greatly disrupted. Most "Al Qaeda" attacks today are people who never actually worked for Bin Laden, but have been *inspired* by him in a sick way.
The fact is that terrorism is not just some government you can take down by invading or burning up their camps. It's a system of ideas which people are spreading and believing. It will take leaders in the Muslim world willing to speak out about the true nature of Islam and Western leaders who will stop affecting the Middle East with policies designed to promote unrest (we support dictators and some terrorist groups, and we have done so in the past) that these ideas will lose their power.

Because we have a president that must have failed Geography. We get bombed on 9/11 by Bin Ladens people. Our president decides to invade Iraq who had nothing to do with. Although our president and millions of people that voted for him thought they did. Now years later our president says Bin Laden doesn't matter. Still millions of people believe this. We should pull every military person out of Iraq and it's civil war and go get Bin Laden. This guy bombs the US and to this day has not had a bomb shot him , a bullet shot at him nor even a rock thrown his way. Could you image if he was president when Pearl Harbor got bombed. I guess he would have invaded China or maybe Alaska. I still can't believe no one but about 6 people in US care that we attacked the wrong people and the wrong country for what happened on 9/11. I even wonder sometimes how many people that lost love one's on that date have voted for this president again.

Vote for Obama for president. He'll send our troops into Pakistan to find him and start another quagmire just like the one in Iraq. Is that what you want? It's not as easy as people think. Besides, terror will still exist even if we capture Bin Laden.

It's a shame that Bush didn't focus on bringing him to justice instead of attacking a country that was in no way involved in the 9/11 attacks. If he had, we wouldn't be involved in a war with no end in sight and we quite possibly wouldn't have a record deficit, either.

The Conservatives need a Boogieman to rally their base.
Strangely enough, the White House called Osama bin Laden “virtually impotent” less than two weeks ago.

What I hate is how the U.S. media airs every last word OBL says. It's like they give him free ppublicity. I am sure he loves it, too!
Keep the masses scared, right!!!

From the republican perspective - it's now more important to fight the liberal and libertarian terrorists here in the US who want to make them less powerful.
Stay the course - into oblivion.

American Special Forces have been after OBL since day one. They are not allowed into Pakistan, however, so he has a safe place to hide.
Oh, and Rafael, thanks for contradicting your own response.
