      Gulf 1 and Afghanistan got it. Iraq got nixed by the Security council, so it was "The Coalition of the Willing"

        It's come back to me now. Suddenly remembering discussions my parents were having when I was a kid about how "we almost got Bin Laden but Bush needed to show up Daddy with the 2nd Gulf War".

            Damn, its been a while since someone said that in reference to something I said. I'm old enough now that I can't get student discounts anymore just based on looks.

          it was really stupid the taliban would have handed over bin laden they were just fishing for a bribe by acting reluctant. You have to understand that the taliban didn't understand that the Americans actually cared about 9/11 having just fought a war with the soviets in which 100,000 to a million or so afghans died you can see why 3000 people dying didn't to them seem like anything out of the ordinary
