My guess is that OBL is dead of his sickness or in Iran being protected and there's a tough decision gonna have to be made about that. My guess is that any action on that will come after the 2006 elections - however they turn out, especially if one of the legistative houses is lost to the dark side..
Apparently you want us to invade Iran. What if Osama's in Pakistan. Should we invade Pakistan? Or are you just looking for an excuse to invade Iran?
Both of you are wrong about OBL.
The terror organizations are not set up in the same way that western hierarchical organizations are structured. (Sorry but big word must be used here.)
Terrorists are organized in loose informal units called "cells" and there really is no central head cell like say, an IBM or a General Motors. Our Administration is totally aware of this and are not killing themselves trying to "get the head man" because there is no head man.
When you start to analyze that many nation states are funding and supplying all manner of terrorist activities you may start to realize the enormous task that lays before us.
Terrorism is literally everywhere around the planet. OBL ,though charismatic, is not crucial at all...his capture or killing will have no impact whatsoever to the world-wide terror picture.
Rest easy in the knowledge that your President and his staffs know all of this and really have from the start. It's the Media Numb Skulls who have made OBL the "Holy Grail that Is'nt".
At least you are not alone in your lack of knowledge.
You, Peggy Noonan and lots of other nice folks don't know your butts from third base about terrorism.
