What makes you think the Taliban has ever tried to get him out of these caves? We blasted many of those caves with bunker busters, God only knows who and how many are buried in them.

I don't believe the Marines were involved but that's moot. As far as the grit of your question, I would suggest that the people who spirited him out of the Tora Bora know every rock and gully and wash in the area. It is their home territory after all. Fighting on your own terrain the advantage always goes to the one who is more familiar with it. Even with all of our technology the advantage still lies with the stone age Taliban. How long did it take law enforcement to find the Uni Bomber after all?

They knew where he was.
Try this experiment. Take a look at a maps of WA, OR and CA. Locate the Pacific Crest Trail. Take a walk in a very isolated area and have someone report you missing, but they do not know your location. See if you are ever found. Say Hi to D B Cooper if you spot him.

The Taliban know every inch of their backyard,
And "caves" is the operative word their are hundreds of them many inter connected and the US did not hit them all at the same time.
Its a game of hide and seek there.

And yes, we have had him in the cross hairs on more than one occasion. But when politically minded officers are running the show and make you ask for permission before you take the shot...... well, you can guess how that turns out.

LOL, You really think we're looking for Osama? C'mon. Our military isn't that incompetent. Do you really think our government can't find an individual that was trained and funded by the CIA?
