Because Bush doesn't want and has never wanted to catch Laden. I figure that was part of the deal he made in the arrangement to have Laden bring down the 2 towers.
Case in point:
The Taliban offered to hand over Laden on Sept 18 & 19th, 2001 to a neutral country for a fair trial. Bush said no. Why not at least discuss it.... = he didn't want him.

Bush misplaced concentration simply by fact he cared little for Bin encumbered. as quickly as Bin encumbered grew to alter into too stressful to discover, Bush wanted greater tangible consequences. It replace into undesirable adequate that Afghanistan had few hi profile objectives previous Bora Bora. So why no longer pass after the guy he disliked from day one. confident Saddam replace right into a real piece of rubbish yet greater knew that removing him could desire to deliver chaos to the area. even nonetheless, Saddam presented a hi profile tangible result that Bush Jr. could desire to draw close his legacy on. In his hubris and lack of information, Bush Jr. set the wheels in action and we are paying the value. For greater valuable or worse, his legacy is now tremendously stable.

Why on earth would you exclude Dubai or UAE? The fact that Afghanistan is poor and cheap means only one thing...they have no military power...well neither do the 2 nations you excluded. Based on that logic we should just say "screw it" and become an imperialist nation and take over anyone who can't rise to our occasion.

osama might be going back and forth between pakistan and afghanistan. the taliban are. al qaeda probably is. western pakistan has become a new training ground for al qaeda. so has iraq thanks to bush's ineptitude.
yes, the soviets did not get osama either with all their troops, maybe 200,000, i don't know how many for sure. so we sure are not going to get him with only 10,000 troops.

Gotta give him time to train his son, so we can do this all over again in 20-30 years, to raise the stock values of weapon manufacturers, along with add a little more to the Patriot act.

Bush doesn't want to catch bin Ladin. Think it through. Bush's entire presidencey has been based on a tactics of spreading fear to justify his undermining of Americans' civil liberties, the corruption of special interests, etc.
But to do that Bush needs a boogeyman--some threatening presence to wave in front of his followers. Osama fits the bill perfectly--but only as long as he's "out there." A boogeyman isnt frightening if he's dead or captured.

That tactic was used in the russian aphganistan war and it just made a whole lot of easy targets.
We are fighting using our strengths, our elite units and air power.

It isn't worth it.
If we catch him, we have to give him medical care.
