As much as the Bush Administration wants to name Khalid Sheik Mohammad as the 9/11 mastermind, we all know it was really Osama bin Laden. However, since they've been completely unable or unwilling to capture bin Laden, it's more convenient to blame somebody we have in custody.
Now, Osama bin Laden is out there making more tapes and trying to rally his partners in Al-Queda to attack America and our international interests. Haven't we heard this before?
I don't understand why more emphasis isn't placed on capturing this guy. We had opportunities to kill him in the past, but we decided against it. You'll hear people say that bin Laden has been minimized. I disagree vehemently. Until we get rid of him, al-Zawahiri and Mullah Omar, we cannot pretend that we're winning the War on Terror. These guys are very patient. They'll simply wait us out and return later in an attempt to kill/hurt Americans.

It's amazing that nobody sees the urgency in capturing these guys.
