If they ARE going to get him, it would be dead, not alive. And that does have some merit in terms of raising Bush's popularity for a short stint.
On the other hand, it would cause Bin Laden to get to be "marytred" for the cause, turning more radical jihadists against us, and it would also take away one of our reasons for maintaining a presence in the area.
