Tim -

We got lucky and captured Saddam Hussein. We haven't gotten lucky and captured bin Laden.

The difference is that in the former case we were actually making an effort, and in the latter it wasn't "a priority" anymore.

If we don't try to get bin Laden, we never will. I, for one, would like to have us trying very hard. I would be very unhappy to see him die a free man.
