By inaccessible, I mean inaccessible to the US.
It is quite easy to hide.
It took over 20 years to find Ted Kazinsky and it was only his ego, and his brother that let them catch him. Eric Rudolph is another excellent example. As is the terrorist "Carlos" from the 1970s. It was almost 25 years before they caught him.
Hell, people didn't know where Dave Chappelle was for a few weeks.
Osama does not want to be found. He is surrounded by people that he trusts and THEY don't want him to be found. They do not use google, the internet, or even cell phones anymore, so
unless you are going to get an agent in there to penetrate that very tight inner circle, you are not going to find him unless he slips up.
However, ego is a funny thing...as with Kazinsky, I am betting it will be his ego, not some turncoat, that ultimately betrays Osama.
And like with any big fish...you've got be patient before you can reel them in. We should be prepared to wait 25 years like the French did with Carlos. Hopefully it will not take that long, but comments on this forum just reinforce that Americans have no concept of patience or persistence.
