It's not as much about actually capturing OBL as it is the semantics of his capture, spoken by Bush after 9/11. Once, as Americans, we were led to believe he was the reason for the war on terror, and somehow we have it in the backs of our heads in lieu of the increasing death rates of U.S. soldiers in Iraq, that his capture will end the aggression, or at least somehow abate it.
I don't know, though; it seems what was the paradigm of a justified war has fallen into increasingly unjustified territory.
