Why is it that the manhunt for osama bin laden dimmed down and focused more on other issues?

I don't know but here's a song about Osama

We need to hasten the transition of trustworthy civilian US trained Iraqi troops who will one day take over the reign of the many Iraqs. We are fighting the war on terror or was I mistaken on this issue here.
We all know that the true front line is still in Afghanistan and the Pashtun areas and some other tribal confederates within Pakistan and with that country's cooperation we can once and for all squash terrorism in that region and I am afraid that this needs to spill into the Kashmiri region so that lines can finally (peacefully) be drawn and a major ripple in our planet's discord may know peace. Then of course I, this regular guy, say the UN must immediately address this issue with Sudanese Darfur. If that means transporting much needed to this sensitive region and we as a world all pull together and make justice happen then what kind of horrible and selfish planet do I live in anyway.

there ares everal reasons for the diminished search for ben laden.
having an impotent leader is better than having a thousand death hungry hornets streaming around the world.

having iraq and afghanistan as the batleground of terrorists and ben laden in the middle , in hiding in northern pakistan, is like a football game where everyone lines up against the strongest side of the field.

the war is contained in one spot, generally,now.
it may be costing usa and allies a hundred casualties a month but it is decimating the terrorists and
wanna-bees by the tens of thousands.

ben laden is their leader,leave him alive and they will stay bees near the hive.
