SS. We had him. We had Bin Laden dead. And the decision to let some locals go in and root him out ruined it. So in this case if we had just been brutal and brushed aside local "intervention" he would be a dead man. Not that it would change anything. Just like the capture of Sadam, it did nothing to rectify the broader picture.
And the success in getting rid of the Taliban for a while was immense. But our little foray into Iraq took away much of the success we did have in Afghanistan. So this looks like another situation that is not good that might have been without our extra big problems. I would not have known this at the time. So you are ahead of me.
