Torvald, same thing as when Clinton had an opportunity to get Bin Laden. The opportunity was not taken. Both Bush and Clinton screwed up. However, it should be noted that there is no firm proof that Osama was in Tora Bora, though it is highly likely. It doesn't matter, because taking him out changes nothing. Had we taken him out then, we would still be fighting the Taliban. If we were to take him out today, we will still be fighting Al Qaida for years.
He is not a "leader" in the classical sense, and killing him changes nothing in reality.
