It should have been over at Tora Bora Dec 2001 .  Why the politicians decided to let Bin Laden escape is the question.,(reply>), @chickenfishhybrid44 Omar was Afghan’s Rambo and very unwilling leader.  “Certain” events forced the matter (nothing to do with OBL or U.S.)…… ty for responding 🤙🥃…cheers,(reply>), @chickenfishhybrid44 main string being, show us proof of his guilt and he’s yours-,(reply>), @chickenfishhybrid44 Sorry about that. I mistook it as a justification,(reply>), Also you have to remember, America didn't kill Laden in another Nuclear country in the silence of the night, as much as ISI trading him for favours. Bin Laden was considered a dead weight at that time. <br>It wasn't a win over terrorism but a political win for Obama. It was symbolic at best.,(reply>), It's not that they let him escape as much as Bin Laden holding leverage over ISI. Al Qaeda and Taliban are different groups but the members are interchanging according to who holds more weight. <br>To make it simple, ISI created Taliban, Al Qaeda taught Taliban IED mechanism, Al Qaeda killed Ahmad  Massoud (Taliban's opposition in Afghanistan). Connect the dots.
