You're right, there is no difference between the so far 8 year long Iraq war and the mission to kill OBL. It's not right to praise one, and criticize the other.
Iraq - civilians dead: 110,000, troops dead, 4,452 (most recent death was Friday) official wounded: 33,000 unofficial: 100,000
cost: a trillion and counting
related to 9/11? no
mission accomplished: no
property damage: immeasurable
OBL mission: civilians dead: one, zero troops injured or killed
mission accomplished: yes
related to 9/11? in the highest possible way
property damage: one compound
I barely see any difference at all.
You want to construct a different paradigm to fight terrorism. Fine. I asked you can we go in Yemen now? You come back and ask to do what? You know damn well to do what. You just know where I am taking you and you don't want to come.
