The US helped win WWII in less time than Bin Laden has been on the run since 9/11

Do you find this statement shocking? That the world's only superpower cannot bring to justice one man who is hiding in a nation allied to it in more time than it could help defeat two of the world's most powerful military powers of their time?

Perhaps if we had kept after him instead of invading Iraq we might have captured or killed him by now?

After all it was called 'The War on Terror' - not 'The War of Regime Change'...

Not really, as there are only about 3 billion men on this globe... Or what's the latest count?

[Whaleboy]

3.2 billion

~ 100 million more men than women

Since MOBIUS thinks it is easy to find one man, I say that we send him to the tribal regions of Pakistan to go look. It shouldn't take him long after we drop him off in the nearest village. After that (if he survives) we could send him after a few fugitives here.

Hitler didn't run, that's why. The Islamicists are much more adept at guerilla warfare than the Nazis were is another reason. Finally, a significantly larger portion of the world's population was at war with him. Suppose Hitler had decided to go on into hiding and to use hidden Nazi loot to continue harrassing the Allies? He could have hidden in South America, the middle east, or even a basement in Europe.

It's different to take a fight to visible enemy, that isn't going to escape and is fighting to the last man.

But OBL, is only one man, in region where the US has maybe the least amount of good solid intel (well one of the darkest areas, tehre are others as well), him having lots of support there, loyal followers who won't turn him in.. it's not a surprise that much.. I mean a little surprise yes, but something to be expected.

So the superpower can't find one well hidden man to this date. It's not a miracle. It's just the reality of the situation. And maybe he will be found. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe next week. Maybe next year. But he is still to be found.

I think OBLs beard is not real. Therefore people don't recognize him when he's walking in the public, going shopping and all.
