Trying to find 1 person who is in hiding is pretty tough

There is a USD 25 million reward on Bin Ladin or any information leading to his capture. Considering that Afghanistan is about a thousand times poorer than the US, that translates to a USD 25 billion reward.

How long would George W. Bush would last, do you think, if there were a USD 25 billion reward on his head?

That should tell you why it is so difficult to find him.

Even so, finding him [Saddam] will be difficult but not finding him will not eliminate the benefits of removing him from power.

Excuse me?

Clearly his [Bin Ladin's] life on the run has impacted his ability to organize terror

Or maybe he is cooking up another one. WTC attacks took years to plan, after all. Are you going to risk the chance? Or shouldn't he be punished, after all?

When was the last time, GWB spoke of OBL? July 2002. Wonder how long the hunt for Saddam will go on? But hey, are we looking for Saddam, looking to save the people we're killing, trying to take away wmds? What exactly are we doing there...don't bother answering, everything coming from the right is a lie.

"You weren't under the impression that the search for OBL was going to be easy were you? Trying to find 1 person who is in hiding is pretty tough. I happen to think Saddam will be different because I think he is willing to go down with the ship. Even so, finding him will be difficult but not finding him will not eliminate the benefits of removing him from power. I think the same is true of OBL. Clearly his life on the run has impacted his ability to organize terror"

We never caught Hitler either, but then some here would probably argue we lost WWII <GGG>.
