As you've pointed out, there have been missed opertunities in the past. Even this time, he initially lived through two hits by 500 lb bombs. Al-Zawahiri slipped past them a couple of months ago in Pakistan. I think they wanted to eliminate all the risks possible of missing him.

"Botton line is that Bush wants a 'bogyman' and he still has OBL.
