QFT, I find it funny how Americans always forget we're the ones who are actually committed to capturing Osama while they're playing their nation building games in Iraq/n.

Well, most EU soldiers are still rather on passive missions there exept for few. Most countrys dont want to get too involved. Its still USA we call when theres a need to bomb few 10s of civilians and childs,

I find it funny how people can even claim Osama or even any of these 'terrorists' are even a threat or exist anymore.

Sure there are, after all there is a large bounty on his head. If anyone gets Osama it will be some private group working in Pakistan, and wanting the cash.

Well, you know my feelings on how private enterprise almost always outshines the results of a government program, but if there is anything that government is good at, it's finding people and killing them. There might be a few rag tag groups looking for Osama, but they don't carry the weight and full force of the largest fighting machines to every grace the planet. Without that weight, private enterprise will more than likely be unsuccessful in their endeavors. The sad truth is, no one (in a position of power) is committed to Bin-Laden's capture, if they were, he would have been captured years ago.

I dont know, there is one private group of Pakistanis that I know of who are attempting to get to him, they are former military and intelligence people from there who have some connections to the hill tribes. I would laugh if they got it done while their government is ineffective.
