Nine years ago a deadly attack happened on September 11 where 3000 people died, the man who everyone pointed out as the "mastermind" behind the entire plot is still to this day at large, who we all know is Osama Bin Laden. Just two days after the 9/11 attacks George Bush issued this statement, "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." So why don't we have him in custody now? Wouldn't you think that if we spent eight years with all the intelligence people we had looking for him that we would have found him? Many people say that the best chance we had to catching Osama Bin Laden was just months after we started the war in early October 2001. Regardless of whether or not he is dead, how can we not still be out there looking for him? How did our main goal for the past eight years to catch him and to "not rest until we find him" change? Some people argue that it would be messy if we catched him and would not be worth it, however I believe that that is completely false. Everyone in the country was led to believe that Osama Bin Laden was the worst man who had ever lived and were convinced to go to war because of his actions, a war that has been a complete failure, so we as citizens should atleast get the satisfaction and trying him in court and condeming him for his actions. Nobody is saying that they know where he is, but somebody out in the world does and one day he will be brought to justice for those who died on 9/11, unless of course the U.S no longer considers him a priority. What do you think about Osama and the way the U.S. has handled his search?

There are a few reasons that people point to for Osama Bin Laden not having been caught. Some people say that he is dead and that all his videos are filmed of fakes. For the most part, he just isn't relevant. The faction of terrorists that he used to control no longer seem to follow him. After the Christmas day attack, he issued a tape (about a month tardy). The Obama administration along with most of the intelligence community dismissed this as Bin Laden's last ditch effort to remain relevant.
ReplyDeleteIf he is no longer relevant, I think we should let him rot in hiding. Personally I am a fan of killing as few people as possible and finding Bin Laden will no doubt take unnecessary lives.
