>>2317619>It's taken the most powerful nation on Earth ten years to find and kill one guy.And he actually started attacking United States targets way back in 1992 but Bush Sr. didn;t take action. Clinton first authorized his assassination back in 98' and tried to have him killed with cruise missiles in retaliation for attacks on U.S. embassies but at the time everyone was all "HURRADURR you're just trying to distract us all from the fact that you let a fat chick blow you". Then he attacked the USS Cole in 2000, and yet still nobody had heard of the fucker until 2001 when he managed to have the twin towers blown up.
So, in reality, it was more like 13 or 19 years, in large part because of bullshit American politics and the stupidity of the American public.
