"Hunt for Bin Laden Still On"

"We haven't had real, solid information since the Tora Bora campaign on his location," Rep. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., told FOXNews.com in an interview, referring to the late 2001 battle around the cave complex along Afghanistan's mountainous eastern border, aimed at killing or capturing bin Laden and his Al Qaeda fighters.

Just how many U.S. resources are being put into the search may be more difficult to ascertain these days. While President Bush mentioned the terror mastermind by name more than 10 times in his 2004 State of the Union address, bin Laden wasn't named once by the president during this year's address.

"It isn't the local Iraqis that are a threat to me in Boston," Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy recently told the Boston Herald. "It's Al Qaeda (search) that is the threat to us here … it is unfortunate and tragic we haven't been able to apprehend him after all this period of time." Kennedy, a Democrat, noted the lack of mention of bin Laden in Bush's 2005 State of the Union address. "Why'd he mention him one year ago 15 times? Now he doesn’t mention him at all."

When asked in December how the search for bin Laden is going, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said: "The war on terrorism is much broader than any one person" but reiterated the theme that the Al Qaeda network has been smashed. A month earlier, when asked if the United States was still actively looking for the ringleader, McClellan responded: "Yes, we are continuing to pursue him and he will be brought to justice. We are also continuing to move forward on dismantling and destroying the Al Qaeda network, and we have made great progress over the course of the last few years. But there is more to do. And we continue to stay on the offensive."

4. 2046 President J.Bush says "we're closing in on BinLaden"
Did you know that water is wet in its liquid stage? How's that for real solid information. "The war on terrorism is much broader than any one person" . That's why it'll never end, until everyone is destroyed. About time to turn another corner?

6. They cut to commercial too quick
I think it was supposed to say "Hunt for Bin Laden Still On Back Burner" . I think the list goes something like this: (1) Suck Iraqi oil fields dry, (2) Invade Iran just because Bush likes to play cowboy, and (3) Find Bin Laden.

9. Who was the "bad" guy in 1984? Goldstein?
Bin Laden is George's Goldstein, and he will NEVER catch him, he will never outlaw abortion, he will never get a gay marriage ban amendment, etc.

He needs his bogey men.
