Even in 2002, Osama Bin Laden was hiding in plain view in Islamabad. In addition, he was in such poor health that he could not walk without assistance. The Pakistanis knew where he was and so did we. He was not a threat except as a figurehead, and because he really had to play it low profile, all he could do was occasionally release an audiotape, like when he endorsed John Kerry for President in the 2004 election.
In 2005, the Pakistanis allowed the building of the compound where Bin Laden was eventually terminated with extreme prejudice. Since that time, Bin Laden has been too sick to travel anywhere except the immediate region. Again, he was a figurehead but not really able to publicly lead a movement. He was contained by circumstances and by his own volition.
There was no real reason to terminate Bin Laden. There were and are plenty of other folks who are more dangerous and more of a threat, with or without Bin Laden. The Islamic Jihad goes back centuries and will certainly continue on without Bin Laden, and without a missed beat. My assertion is that the US under George W. Bush weighed the risks and benefits of terminating Bin Laden and concluded that it was better to leave him where he was and deal with the ongoing Jihadi operations worldwide which would go on with or without Bin Laden anyway.
Barack Hussein Obama changed all of that because he needed to have Bin Laden terminated. Why? Because Barack Hussein Obama knew, just like George W. Bush knew before him, that terminating Bin Laden would result in reprisals, both within the US and over the globe. A live Bin Laden would cause no such thing to happen, but terminating him, especially in the way that it was done, would cause the Islamic warriors to act, and I beleive that we will see that start to happen very soon. The difference is that Bush didn't want this to happen but Obama needs a large crisis like this to blot out Obama's own issues and to allow for him to take control of the government in the form of martial law. Obama has chronic issues like the backlash from ObamaCare and The Stimulus, but he also has acute issues like the questions of his Social Security number and the validity of his birth certificate. Obama also has that little matter of skyrocketing gasoline prices and a way to smokescreen the fact that he has choked off a large part of the US supply of domestically-produced oil. He needs big-time cover for these and other reasons too numerous to mention.
I believe that as this Islamic retaliation happens within the US, we will see a response by the US government that necessitates the use of martial law within the USA. I believe that our President knows that his action in terminating Bin Laden will set off massive reprisials and that he sees his only chance for survival to come from a national crisis like this.
The stories coming out that Obama didn't want to pull the trigger, that the SecDef or other cabinet members made the decision? Those are simply to cast Obama in the best possible light once things start to hit the fan.
Bin Laden may not have been more than a figurehead, but he was definitely an Islamic leader. We can expect Muslims worldwide to act on this. Think about it...they rioted all over Europe over cartoons for goodness sake! Obama knew this would cause major problems going in and that is why this action was taken. Obama needs a crisis, a large crisis, in order to drive his Marxist agenda forward.
If I am correct about this, it will unfold relatively quickly. Stay tuned.
