  If you can’t catch the bad guy, it’s game over-----this is the rule of life for computer game players. But similar thoughts might be worrying US president George W. Bush as he prepares for the election year with the world’s most wanted man still out of his reach.

  The hunt for Laden has been going on since the attack on New York’s World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Progress has been slow and, with John Kerry winning the race last Tuesday to compete against Bush in November’s presidential elections, the president needs results.

  The American public’s support for the war in Iraq has been falling, especially as the Bush government cannot find the banned weapons it said were in the country. But the way in which the president’s popularity rose following the arrest of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in December shows how useful the capture of Laden would be.

  The latest information suggests the election will be close, with 48 percent of Americans saying they will vote for Bush and 46 percent backing Kerry.
