One needs to ask 'Does the US Really want to capture OBL'? What would be the aftermath of his capture? Would we put him on trial, convict him and then sentence him to death? Alive and in hiding, OBL is just a terrorist in hiding. Captured and on trial and then sentenced to death he would be a martyr and rallying point. His capture would undoubtedly make many feel good, but it would do more longterm harm than good. Neutralize has more than one meaning in covert operations. He has been largely neutralized either dead or in hiding. Caught and he will be on the cover of TIME and NEWSWEEK and probably people. You think the two OJ trials were massive media events. Imagine what the trial of OBL would be and the scale of the protests in the middle east. Keep him in hiding or kill him quietly. Don't capture him. Bush knew this.
