Seriously gang - it's been SIX FRIGGIN' YEARS... and we still don't have this guy.

$25 million price on Osama bin Laden's head not enough? Fine. Let's raise it to $50 million.

The Senate vote - 87 to 1 in favor of the amendment.

Jim Bunning (R-Ky) was the ONLY senator to vote AGAINST raising the bounty on Osama bin Laden.

THE ONLY ONE.
Reason:

Catching Osama bin Laden and other leaders of al Qaeda is something the United States government has already made a top priority. If Senator Dorgan truly supported our efforts to fight al Qaeda he would not support withdrawing from Iraq, a key battleground against al Qaeda and in the War on Terror.

And that has what to do with the subject at hand? In fact, if we had focused ALL of our resources on capturing ObL in the first place - Iraq would not even be an issue.
