Actually he would be the face behind al-Qaeda, not the Taliban, and he has been pretty well rendered impotent. Heard of any al-Qaeda guys conducting any major operations lately?

The goal was to remove those in power in Afghanistan who were aiding and abetting those linked to the bombing of the WTC. Snagging OBL in the process would have been a bonus.

ANything to make it easier on ya -

[quote:673ba] We went into afghanistan to remove/arrest ABL.[/quote:673ba]

No we didnt. The PRIMARY objective was to remove the Taliban from power. Doing so would have aided in our search for OBL, and those also responsible for 9/11.
