Capturing Osama Bin Ladin in Afghanistan would have meant that most of the Democrats in the House and Senate would have felt that there would have been no reason to continue the Global War on Terror. They would have felt that payback was good enough.
The War on Terror is bigger than Bin Ladin. The war on terror is about every nation that thinks that sponsoring terror knows there is a price to pay. Ending the war right after capturing Bin Ladin (if it had happened) would never have made this clear to the nations it needed to be made clear to.
Why do you think that we have not been attacked? Because Homeland Security is doing a bang up job? We have not been attacked because people are afraid of the consequences. Bombing empty tents in the desert may have been good enough for Bill Clinton but it is not good enough anymore.
