This story seems to be the Bush administration setting the stage for the fact that they will never catch Bin Laden. According to this General, individuals are not as important. While this is true to a certain extent, and thwarting the efforts of Al Qaeda is the main goal, I still very much want revenge against Bin Laden himself. I still very much, want to see him suffer.

Individuals are VERY important. You can find countless examples through history of one person alone rallying others to do some incredible things.

Osama Bin Laden is a very smart man. Do not underestimate him. It is very important that he gets caught, killed, or incapacitated if the US doesnt want more very cohesive terrorist attacks.

They should send a lone super sniper to kill him. A sniper with 2 day face stubble and a 'silent but strong' personality, whose beautiful wife and children all died on a terrorist attack, and he's out on a vengeance.

If hes caught, how to continue the fear stigma surrounding Al queda(sp)???

Even military officals have been quoted saying their job in Afganistan was 'never' about catching Bin Laden.

They need to catch him and "break him" on the rack. Then televise him denouncing himself as a cowardly crimminal.

Bin Laden and Sadaam......you'd think the US could catch ONE of them.

Bin Laden is DEAD. He most likely died at Toro Bora. But, since that can't be proven he serves a better purpose For the U.S. being 'alive' and a focus for the WOT.

Now, maybe you don't believe me, and think the only reason he's never been seen on a video since Afganstain is because somebody forgot to buy battries. Maybe....

That may be terrible for the administration policies. With either of those two out, it will be obvious that the opposition to US in Iraq or among muslims is real and reflects the true sentiments of teh people - not a scheme by those two guys.

It would be like killing Hitler, giving germans democracy back and finding out the germans are still nazis and vote for building more extermination camps.

Or if Hitler had not exterminated his political opponents and democracy given to the Germans, the jews would have been spared the gas chambers.

Actually, I would rather have him making videos.

And make martyrs out of them? Remember their followers arent exactly sane people....but they are smart enough to spread their sickness to the uneducated masses.

Kinda like the makers of Jackarse (edit:bah censorship! *** thingies.)

'BAGRAM, Afghanistan (Reuters) - A senior U.S. general said on Friday that al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) had "taken himself out of the picture" and that his capture was not essential to winning the "war on terror." "

I guess OBL sent them an email.

Some posts here make alot of sense.

WHy had OBL stopped making videos?

I understand the backround was giving clues to spooks of his whereabouts. Still, a simple sheet would fix that.

Saddam is dead too?

It would make sense to keep them "Alive" for the time being, maybe until...oh November of '04 but my gut is calling this an empty conspiracy.

US Announces capture of SH. Violence in Iraq continues...who do we blame? But the capture/killing of either of these men is a huge boost when re-election time rolls around.

Hitler died in the bunker in '45.

It was not proven in the west until a few years ago, when the Russian Federation showed the forensic evidence.

Conspiracy theorists had him living in South America when he was dead for 30 years.

You would think the British, French, and Americans could find one man.

I just think its funny and suspicious at the same time how all those 'al qaeda' dudes got to iraqi so fast and started attacking americans. I've noticed on the news that every attack nowadays is blamed on OBL's guys. How did they get to Iraqi so fast? Did they charter a few airliners and fly in?

You have to question this. At least in my mind. How america's fear machine can just label so easily in order to justify present circumstances. Almost in a way not admitting that the majority of attacks on america's fighting peps are hostile indigenents(sp).

What I mean is, once rid of Hitler, the germans were ready - and even eager - to rejoin the western world and forsake their evil unnatural ways.
Killing Hitler earlier was very likely to end the war immediately - at least in the west.

Hitler was holding nazis together to a much greater extent than SH or OBL do their respective "constituencies".

Many people hope that is the case with SH and OBL and even Yassir Arafat - kill them and the iraqi resistance and Al-Qaeda and palestinian resistance would crumble.
I believe that is not true. It would be a loss of an important figure at most. They are used up already. Unless they personally come up with some spectacular upset to the US, their best contribution to the cause would be as martyrs.
