Read the history of Iraq, the U.S. did not put Saddam into power. In essence his regime took over the regime that we help support take over the at the time another fanatical regime. This is not a new concept and ALL countries are guilty of this type of "hands on politics" in some segment of their timeline. Furthermore Quwait pleeded for help while the U.N. turned their head.
Neither was OSBL the head of the Taliban and Al-Quida, he's more of a figurehead or spokesman a financier. The mission in Afganistan was NOT to bring back OSBL's head on a spear. I'm sure some on the presidents staff disagreed with that diction. Regaurdless the skirmish in Afganistan was a success, the mission was accomplished.
