They already seem to know who #2 is (and I suppose the heir to AQ now)
Edit: Agi has presented the name.
Yes, it is more than 9/11 and the US. Bin Laden is responsible for killing many across the world, going back for years.
AQ has become disjointed, but that actually makes it even more difficult. Like a tapeworm, it broke up but each piece continued to live and can operate on it's own. Now AQ is decentralized! Which is always more difficult to deal with.

Also, all this makes me question these wars more. Apparently this
operation was based off many months of intelligence gathering and tip
offs, and obviously didn't require the US army.
We seem to know who's
next in line to lead AQ.
For years various US agencies were piecing together the puzzle, in the
months before 9/11 the FAA got a bunch of warnings of terrorist attacks,
there was the infamous memo to George W Bush a month before about
planes probably being used in a terrorist attack! Which he didn't read. Not to mention numerous tip offs from various countries about AQ and a large attack.
We even caught Ramzi Yousef and KSM once and uncovered a plot to hijack planes (7 I think) and fly them into buildings all over the US!
The intelligence that can be gathered is amazing! Using that, I don't
see the need for wars. The world can pull its resources and hurt these
organizations in secret, but without elite forces sneaking around.

So we spent over half a trillion dollars, and nearly 10 years looking for the guy? Well, it's about f*cking time.

Ok I'm just hearing about this.  He'd been out there for so long he was about to die of old age. But at least it's knocked the royal wedding out of the coverage. Even if he really was the one behind the 9/11 and other terrorist attacks, something pretty much none of us can actually know personally, that he wasn't apprehended or killed shortly after those attacks made him just a little bit of a recruiting tool for Al Q.

He doesn't need to be replaced. As far as the day-to-day running of the terrorist organisation is concerned, I don't know if he's had much to do with that in the last few years.
As a poster boy for suicidal terrorists he's much more attractive now. He's gone from Mr Hide-in-a-cave to Mr Died-for-the-cause.

Oh well, at least we now know why the royal blissfully married couple didn't take a foreign honeymoon 
Second term secured for Obama, potentially masses of trouble in retribution for the martyr, but, in truth, it is very difficult to feel sorry for such a mass murderer.
Also, how the hell did he manage to hide so close to the Pakistani authorities??

Not quite. Sadly all that time and money spent on the War in Afghanistan was largely unrelated. This came from 7 years of intel gathering, resulting with a single specific campaign called for by Obama, using a special force almost outside the military. It supposedly took 40 minutes. Unfortunately, all that proves how pointless the war was.

Also, everyone on the internet who's not American (and some who are) can get off their damn moral high horse about not celebrating a person's death, which has been the argument raging across the entire fricking internet. I've lived almost half my life in the shadow of this man, give us one day of America F*CK YEAH before you condemn us as monsters with no empathy (as if the people in your countries are more than human and don't feel anger or revenge). I wasn't even really celebrating (to be honest I was never afraid of terrorism), but I am normally enthusiastic about pissing on people's parades.

it is good they got what they were hunting fro in 10 years. he have been a thorn in the US Govrmts toes
