It would've been so if they invaded Pakistan, which is were Bin Laden was.
Strangelly, the "world police" not only knocked down the door and invaded the wrong house, but they stayed in the wrong house for years knowing he wasn't there and refused to go right next door which they they knew was the house were the perp was located.
It's almost as if the "arrest warrant" thing was nothing more than a shallow excuse and the real reasons were very different.
That is some piss poor revisionist history, that is 100% WRONG. Bin Laden was in Afghanistan when 9/11 happened. He had been operating in Afghanistan for 15 years or more. When several bombing attacks on US Embassies in Africa in the late 90s happened, he was in Afghanistan. When the USS Cole was bombed, Bin Laden was in Afghanistan. The Taliban gave open refuge to Bin Laden for almost two decades. Bin Laden escaped the battle of Tora Bora, and fled into Pakistan. He then hid in Pakistan until he was killed later. And yes half of the Pakistani government was complicit in his hiding there, but Bin Laden and Al Qaeda did not operate out of Pakistan until after they were pushed back out of Afghanistan. Just about every single thing you said is false.
Iraq, that was a total and complete farce that many of us were against from the start.
