As far as Bin Laden goes.... we can all speculate as to why, but there is obviously a reason that he is still alive. If the government wants someone that bad, they'll just go in and get them. I mean, yesterday on msnbc there was satellite footage of Bin Laden.... drr drrr drrrrrrr.


If they really wanted him, they would send a couple hundred snipers into those mountains and have them sit and wait. We don't want Bin Laden, we wanted a reason to go to Iraq to sit on the worlds largest remaining oil fields... It isn't rocket science....
That is not 100% true, about the 1000 men with sticks loses to 1 man witha machine gun. Take the battle between the Zulu and the British as an example of this. They used the "horns of the bull" strategy, and defeated the British in a battle. The British had gatling guns and rifles. The Zulu had spears, for the most part. Some of the Zulu did have old muzzle-loading rifles, which were greatly outdated by the British rifles and gatling guns.
