It's moving the billion tons of Tora Bora mountainside off of it that's hard.

I still don't understand why so many people believe that OBL waited around at Tora Bora for our forces to come bomb him. He's a cowardly terrorist. It just makes no sense to me.

The caves had been invulnerable to Soviet bombs, so OBL may not have known about the US bunker busters.

When I finally see that raggedy-ass POS star in a new video, then I'll believe that some arm of the US military didn't turn him into fertilizer. If and when I do see it, I'll apologize in a most humble manner.

The audio tapes, IMHO, are bogus.

I'd imagine he felt safer in his mountain base than out fleeing across the countryside. I don't think we should imagine that the Tora Bora base was just one mountain with one cave. It was probably extensive, too extensive to bomb the whole thing. Once we began engaging Al Qaida there, clues would've popped up to his location and we sent in a big one to bury him. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it until we see his next top ten video, which I don't think will ever happen. :^)
