bin Laden is just one man

He may be just one man, but he is one HUGE symbol.

So you think the military and the CIC are just leaving Bin Laden alone? Quite a distortion of reality isn't it?

How many lives is it worth to go hunting around in very hostile area of Pakistan?

You notice even the Pakistani's cant do much in this area without large casualties.

In WWII Peleliu was invaded with ~10,000 US casualties even though some leaders at the time thought it was not required. History proved them right.

"Osama bin Laden and Aiman al Zawahiri are two of the worst criminals in history, and just leaving them alone is a travesty of justice."

Allen - it is my bet that there is a huge effort to find these guys. Again you postulate the worst intentions of someone when you really do not know what they are doing.

It is mind boggling to think that President Obama will invade Pakistan to find Bin Laden - so what will he do?

Should he resign if he does not get him in say 2 years?
