Some would argue if we had flooded Afghanistan instead of Iraq w/ 150,000 troops and done more covert ops in Pakistan, we would have gotten him and maybe Bin Laden long ago. I don't think ultimately that fact is knowable (to paraphrase Don Rumsfeld), but it's a legit argument.

The guy sure looks like he's been under a lot of stress lately. Hope Bin Laden looks like that as well.

And I'm sure he's under even more "stress" right at this moment.
