Rather than rotting in a U.S. prison or the Muslim hell, Osama bin Laden continues to plague the world with video threats for one simple reason: The Bush administration likes him just where he is. This monster should have been our number one priority following Sept. 11; instead, we let him slip away as we rushed headlong into Iraq. Why? Because fear is the only card this incompetent president and corrupt Republican power elite have left to play.
Whenever illegal spying, Jack Abramoff and a thousand other iniquities come close to bringing down the whole rotting edifice around their ears, they can count on good old bin Laden to jump up like the bogeyman, shaking his fist and shouting “Boo!� to remind us that “we’re at war� and that we should shut up and behave.
So we come to it at last: The Bush administration, which plays politics with everything from the end of life to the lives of soldiers in the field, is playing politics with the man who murdered nearly 3,000 of our brothers and sisters.
Is there any other plausible explanation why all our resources are not being used to track down and eliminate this man?

I am sure you would be willing to close all the schools, hospitals, police departments, fire department. Then we could ennact a draft, put a $5.00 tax on a gallon of gas as well as other goods. All the money that is saved and raised will then be put towards hunting OBL. This is what you want right? to have "ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES" redirected to hunting OBL? Think about what you are asking for, and be careful lest you should get it.
