    Didn't they offer to turn over bin Laden or something? But the US and Europe basically get to define words to mean whatever they want anyways :shrug-outta-hecks:

      Yes, multiple times both before and after 9/11. Bush didn't give a fuck and only wanted a war.

      The US military didn't tip off the Pakistan government about the mission to kill bin Laden on Pakistan soil because several Pakistan officials are friendly with the Taliban, and knowledgeably let bin Laden live in peace in his compound.
