Doesn't it raise red flags for you that George Bush never, ever seems to get his man? Not at all; in fact, recent history has demonstrated rather definitively that for all the training, specialization and resources devoted, targeting individuals as military targets boasts a rather pathetic track record. U.S. forces couldn't find Manuel Noriega before he hid in the Papal Nunciary in early 1990; completely and continually missed Gen. Mohammed Aideed in Mogadishu in 1993, and took quite some time - even working with and through indigenous Colombian forces - to locate Pablo Escobar (1993). Those are recent examples. Take into account other, far earlier operations to capture/kill Khadafi, Castro, even going as far back as Pancho Villa...and your rhetorical question begins to look a bit like sophomoric rhetoric. Why would efforts directed at Bin Laden and/or Hussein be any different? LPS5
