Al-Qaeda had many bases over large geographic territory. I doubt U.S. had full knowledge of the location of all of these basis, much less the specific location of OBL. And the Taliban were allowing Al-Qaeda to operate inside Afghanistan. In addition, as pointed out by others, Taliban were refusing to hand over OBL with no strings attached as U.S. was demanding. U.S. wasn't going to allow any strings on that one.
Your idea about the special forces in Afghanistan was partially implemented. Here is an excellent book on the subject. I recommend it very highly.
