>>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? <<

Quehebo -

I have no idea what the military or CIC are doing with respect to bin Laden. Do you? I only know that our President has said "It's not a priority."

You yourself said just yesterday that we could have taken him out at any time if we wanted to.

You seem to have changed your tune. The question about how many lives it's worth to go after OBL is a valid one. Raising that question is very different from just saying "he doesn't matter."

One might apply that same question to our invasion of Iraq. The gains there don't appear to have been worth the cost, for anyone.
