Apparently he can run and hide

Osama Bin Laden, the man responsible for the death of thousands of Americans on 9/11 has become a distraction to George W. Bush and his war in Iraq. :

President George W Bush was so eager to capture the Al-Qaeda leader before next month’s election that the strength of the US forces in Afghanistan was almost doubled to 19,000 men.

However, deteriorating security in Iraq has forced the Pentagon to move Taskforce 121, the commando team behind the capture of Saddam, away from Afghanistan. It has returned to Iraq to search for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the terrorist believed to be responsible for the murder of Kenneth Bigley.

So we go from "dead or alive," to "I'm not sure where he is," to completely unimportant. If that is not one of the biggest flip flops of the last four years, I'm not sure what is.
