re: #160 Salamantis

I don’t care if he is, beyond finding his scrofulous ass; I just don’t want him to be able to sashay triumphantly back into Afghanistan after we bug out.

I’m not sure he has a scrofulous ass to find. bin Laden, that is.

Grabbing Zawahiri, if he’s in Pakistan, may be problematic unless he’s in one of the border regions where we can operate with relative impunity and we get lucky. Sending troops into a sovereign country isn’t something countries take lightly, and could very well demolish what fragile stability currently exists there.
