I don't understand that statement. Could you expound on why the war on terror would be for naught?

However, if they all think that he's still alive and just in hiding, they will just carry on with their current actions and the war goes on.

They will do so whether or not he's alive.

If this were true, then where would this leave the US government? Killing osama would by no means mean the end of al- quieda just like killing one roach would mean the end of the species. However, since the government has propelled him up onto a pedestal that now seems to be unreachable, he's now seen as a "psychological" goal that if here were killed, the "war or terror" would be over.

According to whom?

Did Bush and company put us in a difficult situation starting this war? Kill osama, let the word get out and you will create hundreds if not thousands of more osamas. Don't kill him (or al least make it look like you didn't) and this "war" will go on forever.

Looks like I need still another explanation. How did "Bush and company" put us into the situation of needing/not needing to kill him?
