*laughs even more frantically* What a ridiculous position. Don't we all maintain that outcomes matter, not intents? Good intents are everyone's business.

It's not a false dilemma. It is what occured. Coulda-wouldas are nice.

No you're saying it was either Afghans are druggies or no attempt to capture Osama, that's a false dilemma.

Your Osama-hunt was pathetic from the very start. Your 'ally' Pakistan next door is an islamist shithole with nuclear weapons which you will never be bold enough to attack, and which can house all islamists it likes until Kindgom Come, and yes that includes Osama.
Besides, every times the USA tries to right a wrong it made (stop Osama who'd been funded by the USA as an anti-Soviet mujaheed in the 1980s, re-invade Iraq which has not been rid of Saddam in 1991), it does even WORSE.
Think about it.
