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.
What got me about Clinton is that he wouldn't do a strike to kill Bin Laden because he saw a SWINGSET near the target area!!! Oh noes, we MIGHT hurt/kill some children!!!! What a pussy!!!
