What happened to capturing Osama Bin Laden?

Question

Why after 9/11 did we no fully pursue Osama instead of invading Iraq? After all, Osama was the ring leader of the attacks not Saddam? What was the logic in this? Debate now!

Answer 1

We haven't forgotten about ol' Osama yo mama. Trust me.

Answer 2

a million. If he had surrendered, he would have been introduced to a secure place the place he would desire to be interrogated for a protracted time. Even Guantanimo would not have been an decision. 2. long interrogation accompanied via a protection tension trial and a speedy execution. 3. The Seals had orders to kill or capture Bin laden. the 1st decision replaced into safer. To have been captured, Bin laden would have had to place his palms in the air whilst the SEALs looked, an unlikely adventure. 4. i'd desire to be certain the photos being released some day, yet no longer any time quickly. they're in all possibility incredibly gruesome.

Answer 3

Ironic isn't it, considering that Al Qaeda is now restrengthening and have rebuilt their training grounds. It had not been in Bushs' best interest to find him. He was the boogeyman used to constantly scare and it was used again and again in the 2002, 2004 and 2006 election cycles.
The Bin Laden family connection to the Bush one goes back over 30 years, so he isn't going to hunt too hard for him. Bush himself had said 6 months after 9/11 he was not too concerned about Bin Laden, he did not think of him that much.
The CIA search team that had been in place to hunt for the bastard was disbanded in 2006.
In addition 9/11 was the biggest thing for him to take this country from being a democracy and turning it into a unitary government, i.e. a monarchy because the republican led congress at the time neutered itself and did not want to ask the tough questions because their patriotism was going to be called into question.
Now if we had just crushed the SOBs when we had the chance we would not now have to be worrying about more possible casualties thanks to Al Qaeda with the help of our boneheaded policies from the Dimwit Administration
I have seen some people talk about how there has not been an attack since 2001. It seems they have forgotten the time period between the 1st Al Qaeda attack and the 2nd one-9 years. They are patient. Start relaxing if we make it past that time period and there is not another one

Answer 4

Personally I think Bin Laden is dead. He would have gloated back in November when the Democrats took control of the Congress. I think he is gone. Saddam supported the attacks on America and gave lots of money to terrorists. I fail to understand why so many Americans think Saddam was so great because he didn't order 9/11.

Answer 5

Bush has gone on record saying he is not concerned with Osama Bin Laden anymore. Huh? What? Say again. Yes, he is no longer concerned with Bin Laden. hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Answer 6

Well, you see, the families Bush, Bin Laden, and Saud are friends and business partners. Saddam sat on one of the largest lakes of oil on earth. Do the math.

Answer 7

I'm wondering how many neocons will be blaming this on Clinton. Because of course it's inconceivable and outrageous to suggest that the Bush administration could perhaps have a little something to do with it... :-)

Answer 8

As far as I know, Osama has never admitted having anything to do with 9-11.

If you know that for a fact, please provide links.

Answer 9

Don't you think his being killed at Tora Bora was enough? You want to go dig up the whole mountain to find his rotting body?

Answer 10

the head flip flopper decided OBL was no longer important.
