Very hard to find Osama now in those caves.
I gather that the CIA long ago used to have a lot of operatives in the field, including in places like Afghanistan. Local people who blended in. Also as I understand it, it was during Jimmy Carter's term that this practice was greatly reduced. Favouring remote intelligence gathering instead. I'd be willing to bet that there were many who protested that this would not work, but were overruled.
So really, the core of the problem was laid a long time ago.
