What ever happened to the Hunt For Osama?

[MichaelD]

Why have we heard ZILCH about it since the war started? I know we still want the bastard...

Yes, I do realize that the War is more important...but not a single mention of him in any media that I've seen/read/heard.

its still going. jesus just because you don't hear about it does mean its not happening.

I don't know - I guess they just haven't made any advances in the hunt for him so there's no news.

We shouldn't be talking about Osama anymore, who cares about him? The real enemy is Saddam, remember we have to stop terrorism!

We don't need to get Osama in order to put his organization out of business.

Besides, it pisses him off that we aren't paying any attention to him

Screw him.

It is like finding a rat in a desert full of rats...

Good point, actually. Didn't think of that. It's late....me is tired....*yawning*

Dont' get me wrong...I want to see Saddam's head on a stick as much as any normal person...but with Osama's head on the stick next door.

Kim Schmitz got busted and now there is no reward for Osama's head?

You mean the dude from www.kimble.org....what did he have to do with anything? That guy went to jail rite? lol...

 

[yoda291]

well isn't this war's "official" cause to cripple the access that terrorist groups have to weapons of mass destruction? I mean, no country leader in their right mind is going to openly oppose the US, but if they really didn't like us...they could always just give weapons to other people who don't give a damn.

This Guy
He had put up a $10mil reward for Bin Laden's head. However he got busted for some tax thing or something. Don't know if he's still in jail or not.

used to hear about tornadoes in the south too but you're not hearing about that right now. and you'll hear more about it if something somewhat interesting actually happens, not "pakistani and us special forces raided a village and found nothing"

yeah , i've got this theory that osama is just gonna catch us off guard. i mean well its march madness right now, he could strike at any of those arena venues. i mean its like that movie.... the one with the superbowl.

Has anybody given thought to Osama being dead and just keeping him alive with the media to get into iraq. It would be a lot easier to get into Iraq with the nation in fear still. Just a thought. Dont get me wrong they should cut both their heads off and anybody else who supports them. ANYBODY!

Remember a while ago when Pakistani sources reported that we had captured Osama's sons but the US denied it? If in fact we do have Osama or his sons the government may be withholding the information because it would help us use our intelligence without the terrorists knowing. For example, if we have Osama's sons they might be able to lead us to Osama, but not if he knows they have been captured.

1,000 troops launched an operation at the beginning of the war, they are searching for Osama in an area the size of perhaps Ohio. Osama issued a statement saying US forces were making it very hard on him recently, making him move constantly, and blasted a few nations for aiding in our efforts. I'm sorry you missed it, but yes, it has been drowned out by the war.
