bin Laden's aim shared by the American right wing

Osama bin Laden:

1) He fought against the Soviet troops back in 1980s, during the Soviet-Afghan war (in which the US supported Afghanistan);

2) US attempted to kill him in 1998, firing a bunch of rockets at the building where he was supposedly present. They killed a lot of people, except for bin Laden himself;

3) They have tried to find him in Afghanistan, over the past 15 months. But it seems they can never find him. Indeed, why would they want to imprison, or even kill, such a good agent?

4) He was and is an advisor to Mullah Omar. Imagine that you are Omar's advisor. The US wants to destroy the Taleban regime, and you fight against them. You know that Uzbeks, Turkmens, and Tajiks are ready to revolt. Mullah Omar and, by some strange coincidence, all his advisors evidently don't see this possibility (please see above). What would you do?

It seems Osama makes periodical claims against the US (including, for example, his pre-war recommendations to Saddam' troops about how to fight against the US) just to "keep image", i.e. to show the world that he with Al-Qaeda actively "struggles" against the "world policeman".
