Obviously if we had a single lead to his whereabouts we would be there...but to have a bunch of folks standing around with their thumb up their ass waiting for that lead is silly...and just political masturbation. If anything will turn up his whereabouts, it will be the reward...greed transcends all.

Well so far $25M hasn't tempted anyone to out Bin Laden.
Fint do U buy everything the Bush admin has to say, while I agree with most of what they say and think they are doing a pretty good job overall, they are just full of it on certain things.
Bin Laden maybe a scared old woman hiding as a man but he is a symbol of defiance to the Islamic world. The best possible scenerio is that we capture him like we did Sadam, hiding in a hole in the ground. That would take away alot of his mystique.
AL Zawahari MD on the other hand is a complete ideolog, who inspires absolue hate for the West. He more than Bin Laden is a dangerous foe. He must be taken out of play.
