Have you ever wondered how one man Bin Laden and his merry band can take on the world's most powerful nation ?

Answer 1

Because it isn't one man and his merry band. We have been subjected to terrorist attacks by Salafist Jihadists going all the way back to the Reagan administration with the bombing of the Marine Barracks at Beirut Airport in Lebanon. At that time, Usama Bin Laden was still a playboy in the flesh pots of Beirut. The genesis of the Salafist Jihadists go back to the creation of the Muslim Brotherhood in North Africa. One of its co-founders wrote a book which has become the "Mein Kampf" of their movement. The source below is for that book which is now available in English. Bin Laden issued a fatwa in 1998, declaring war on the U.S. and the "crusader nations". We chose to ignore it.
The Salafist Jihadists are deadly serious people. They truly believe they can accelerate the downfall of all of the regimes in the Jahili world of decadence and corruption. The doctrine of "Takfir", which says it's O.K. during the waging of Jihad for Muslim to kill Muslim, is part of their core beliefs.
Most people, given that history, would simply say that Bin Laden and the members of Al Queda are just insane. But, the rank and file of that movement is made up almost exclusively by the educated sons of well-off parents. That army of the "educated unemployed" poses a clear and present danger.

Answer 2

For the simple reason its far easier to hide a small group amongst the world of millions, when a group such has this has the money and support from others who follow the same cause its very easy to hide.

In reality though your question bears little to the category military.

Also Bin Laden and his gang are a danger to the entire free world and not the USA, their brand of Muslim Fundamentalism will enslave all who do not see the world as they see it should be run, and that includes secular Muslim's too.

Answer 3

Osama Bin Laden and his merry band, as you put it, are a highly organised force. They have groups in almost every country, have superb intelligence network, and agents in high places. They have an unlimited amount of money in all denominations, and have very wealthy sympathisers. Osamas' wealth alone is estimated at £300,000,000. They have all the latest technology at their disposal, and a highly trained force of troops. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE ENEMY. (the First Rule Of War)

Answer 4

The Taliban captured Osama a few days after 9/11 2001and Bush would not accept a trial in Pakistan, so we started bombing the Taliban. army rangers had ossamas exact location pinpointed and were ordered to let him go..

Answer 5

Ossama Bin Hidden and his merry band of maggots are not taking on any one. They are hiding in some rat hole cave eating goat ****, shaking in fear. They know that if they are found, they are at end game. They are camel cocksucking low lifes that do not have the courage to come out and fight.

Answer 6

Because they are cowards with their stupid IEDs and run off far away and detonate them. They hide and thats all they do. Eventually they will get caught because people who hide are always found. All we are doing is playing hide and go seek with them, and we will find them because eventually there will be no more places to hide at.

Answer 7
