If you can’t catch the bad guy, t’s game over－this is the rule of life for computer game players in cyber-world(网络世界)．
But similar thoughts might be worrying US President George W．ush as he prepares for election year with the world’s most wanted man still out of his reach．
The hunt for Osama Bin Laden, eader of the AL-Qaida group, as been going on since the attack on New York’s World Trade Center on September 11,2001．Progress has been slow and, ith Democrat Senator John Kerry winning the race last Tuesday to challenge Bush in November’s presidential elections, he president needs results．f Osama Bin Laden can be caught before the presidential election, ush will gain an obvious advantage．
The American public’s support for the war in Iraq has been falling, specially as the Bush government cannot find the banned weapons(武器)that it said were in the country．ut the way the president’s popularity rose following the capture(捕获)of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in December shows how useful it would be if Bin Laden could be caught．
The latest polls suggest the election will be close, ith 48 per cent of Americans saying they will vote for Bush and 46 per cent backing Kerry．
In order to capture the Saudi Arabia-born AL Qaida leader, housands of US soldiers were moved from Iraq to Afghanistan earlier this week．urther efforts have been made to strengthen Afghanistan’s border(边境)area with Pakistan, ith soldiers inspecting nearby villages more frequently than before．
However, akistan has denied(否认)reports that US soldiers will be allowed to search for Bin Laden on its land．ush’s battles, oth at home and abroad, ill not be won easily．
