He wasn't in Hamburg where the plot was planned, he wasn't in Spain

Their fight is with the people who have invaded their country, no more
no less.
They were there before we arrived and they will be there when we
leave.

So, what you're saying is that if there's a known murderer living in your
house, you're not really responsible for turning him in, because you
weren't
there when he murdered someone...

I am saying if the murderer left the house, you stop shooting at it.

OBL left Afghanistan 9 years ago, yet we still keep up the war.
To use your logic we should be occupying Islamabad and threatening
their government.. I suppose we are already killing their people so
that is a start ... until they just kick us out completely.

Firstly, in our system of justice, the person who harbors a murderer is also
guilty of a crime. Secondly, you're right, he left 9 years or so ago. Bush's
fault. Finally, we're no longer threatening the gov't, since they didn't
have anything to do with OBL and they aren't the Taliban. There's a
timetable for withdrawal. It's been published.
