How does the conditional statement have to do with the question? After you can explain what you mean, then others can reply properly. Displacedjim

I have him stuck in a clock on my wall, forced to "cuckoo" once upon the hour every hour under threat of dire punishment. I've been thinking about handing him over-- what's the reward money up to?

you're confusing operations with intelligence. SFs are operators. they rely on accurate intel to carry out their missions. Lacking that, they can poke at Afghan hillsides all they want, they won't find osama.

To even ask that question demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge about how things work. No offense.

Gixxx is right . Nevertheless , here is something you might not know : The Brit SAS had Bin Laden in theirs scopes in Afghanistan before tora-bora for 2 hrs , they reported and recieved the following order "stay on standby , wait for the US Marines to arrive , do not fire" . The US Marines never came . One of the many strange things about Bin Laden and the Bush Administration ... This infos has been given to a couple of Brit newspapers by the SAS ITSELF as they were so pised off . Cheers .

Why in the world did they even wait for an order? Why didn't they just shoot him and ask anyone who complained if they wanted him ressurrected? And who gave that order anyway?

When in Operation , the SAS is under the direct orders of the Prime Minister . Everything is relayed to him and He has the last word . So why they have been ordered not to fire ? " One of the many strange things about Bin Laden and the Bush Administration ..." Cheers .

I've heard a few variations on that story including the RM conering him, Aussies cornering him etc the only theme is that the US wants to capture him themselves and he then escapes. I wouldn't take it too seriously though unless there's a real credable source saying so (like Jane's or someone).

It makes me so mad that the world has had a half a dozen chances to kill or capture osama, but for political reasons it was never done.
