Yes and also
Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Oh yeah, and haven't you limperals been whining about America meddling against Hezbollah in Lebanon?
I guess that means we're fighting terror in Lebanon, too.
Oh yeah, and Palestine
and Gaza
and Jordan.... lol
and Syria....
That's why you guys can't win elections. You think all wars are fought on one front.
Actually, I don't think you really believe that. I think you WANT to believe that, that way you don't have to get into any more unpleasant confrontations.
Liberals will pay ANY price for peace but little price for freedom.
Why would the U.S. government be interested in killing their goose that lays them golden eggs?

PRESIDENT Bush said yesterday that he wanted Osama bin Laden, the Saudi exile, "dead or alive" in some of the most bellicose language used by a White House occupant in recent years.
"I want justice," he said after a meeting at the Pentagon, where 188 people were killed last Tuesday when an airliner crashed into the building. "And there's an old poster out West that says, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive.' "
He then seemed to temper his remarks by adding: "All I want and America wants is to see them brought to justice. That's what we want."

""
Q: But then you believe the threat that bin Laden posed won't truly be eliminated until he is found either dead or alive?
Bush: Well, as I say, we hadn't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, you know, again, I don't know where he is. . . . I repeat what I said: I truly am not that concerned about him. . . .

Many of the bin Laden family are big-time businessmen in the U.S. and have very close ties to top-level U.S. politicians. For example, the Bushes and the bin Ladens are long-time family-friends and business partners. The bin Laden family runs the largest construction company in the Middle East (i.e., the Saudi Binladen Group, http://www.sbg.com.sa ), of which company the U.S. government uses to construct all of its Middle East military bases, even to rebuild the ones that Osama is said to have blown up (such as after the June 25, 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers complex in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia).
Regarding the new barracks complex that was built after the Khobar Towers bombing, Air Force Magazine wrote in their February 1999 issue:
"In a supreme irony, the complex was built by the giant contractor, Saudi bin Laden Group--owned by the same family that produced international terrorist Osama bin Laden, now an outcast in his homeland." ("Desert Stronghold," William H. McMichael, Air Force Magazine--Journal of the Air Force Association, February 1999, Vol. 82, No. 2 http://www.afa.org/magazine/feb1999/0299desert.asp )
Here's another way the bin Laden family benefits financially from Osama's supposed attacks:
"Do bin Ladens benefit financially from attack?--Iridium phones suddenly in high demand for rescue efforts," Joseph Farah, WorldNetDaily.com, September 17, 2001 http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=24519
Moreover, Osama bin Laden is a known CIA asset:
"Bin Laden comes home to roost--His CIA ties are only the beginning of a woeful story," Michael Moran, MSNBC, August 24, 1998 http://web.archive.org/web/19981202035147/http://www.msnbc.com/news/190144.asp

"Who is Osama Bin Laden?," BBC News, September 18, 2001 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/155236.stm
Under contract with the CIA, Osama bin Laden and his family company built the multi-billion dollar "caves" in which he was supposedly hiding during the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan:
"[Osama bin Laden] brought in engineers from his father's company and heavy construction equipment to build roads and warehouses for the Mujaheddin. In 1986, he helped build a CIA-financed tunnel complex, to serve as a major arms storage depot, training facility and medical center for the Mujaheddin, deep under the mountains close to the Pakistan border." ("How a Holy War against the Soviets turned on US," Ahmed Rashid, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, September 23, 2001, Sunday, Two Star Edition, pg.

http://web.archive.org/web/20021118034524/http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/completetimeline/2001/pittsburghpostgazette092301.html .)
As well, Bush, Jr. is former business partners with Osama bin Laden's older brother Salem:

And even after the 9/11 attacks, Bush, Sr. was business partners with the bin Laden family in the Carlyle Group, one of the world's largest military-weapons contractors (hence both families benefit again from Osama's supposed attacks with the increase in U.S. government weapons spending):

Indeed, the Taliban was created by the CIA:

http://web.archive.org/web/20010310083514/http://www.timesofindia.com/070301/07euro1.htm
The U.S. government protection didn't just stop with with the particular "hijackers" who were being flight-trained in the U.S. (including with many of the accused "hijackers" living on U.S. military bases). Before the 9/11 attacks, as disclosed in the official FBI document numbered 199I-WF-213589 and which came from the FBI's Washington, D.C. field office--of which was originally an order by former President Clinton and subsequently re-ordered by President George Bush, Jr.--the FBI was ordered to back-off of their investigations into the bin Laden family, the royal House of Saud, and suspected terrorist organizations with links to Osama bin Laden:

This protection of the bin Laden family and the Royal House of Saud continued even after the 9/11 attacks. Within minutes of the attacks on 9/11, the Federal Aviation Administration sent out a special notification ordering every airborne plane in the United States to land at the nearest airport as soon as possible, and prohibiting planes on the ground from taking off. Yet scores of members and associates of two families with close business and social ties to the Bush family--the bin Ladens, and the royal family of Saudi Arabia--were allowed the only flights out of the country on those days. This included members of the bin Laden family who were suspected by the FBI of being involved with terrorism, such as Khalil, Abdullah and Omar bin Laden. See:

http://www.rense.com/general29/resuc.htm
This same U.S. government protection extended all the way up to Osama bin Laden himself. In 1996, the Sudan government offered to arrest Osama bin Laden and place him in U.S. custody but then-President Clinton refused the offer, despite the fact that in 1995 Osama bin Laden had already been named by the U.S. government as a wanted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing:

From the above article (quoting a U.S. intelligence source): "We kidnap minor drug czars and bring them back in burlap bags. Somebody didn't want this to happen."

The Clinton Administration also prevented the FBI from attempting to arrest Osama bin Laden:

Additionally, security chiefs on both sides of the Atlantic repeatedly turned down the chance to acquire a vast intelligence database on Osama bin Laden and more than 200 leading members of his al-Qaeda terrorist network in the years leading up to the 9/11 attacks:
"Resentful west spurned Sudan's key terror files," David Rose, Observer (U.K.), September 30, 2001 http://www.observer.co.uk/Distribution/Redirect_Artifact/0,4678,0-560624,00.html
Moreover, on October 30 and 31, 2001, two French news agencies broke stunning news. French daily Le Figaro (France's equivalent to the New York Times; a highly respected French newspaper that is conservative in its political bent) and Radio France International (another highly regarded French news-gathering outlet) reported that from July 4 to 14, 2001, while receiving treatment for a chronic kidney infection in an American hospital in Dubai (of the United Arab Emirates), Osama bin Laden met with CIA station chief Larry Mitchell. This occured two months before the 9/11 attacks, and at a time when there was a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Osama (who was eligible for execution under U.S. law for two U.S. embassy bombings and the attack on the USS Cole--and who had been officially sought for arrest by the U.S. government ever since he had been named as a co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing). Witnesses say the al-Qaeda leader was also visited before leaving the hospital by members of his family and various Saudi and Emirate VIPs, including then Chief of Saudi Intelligence, Prince Turki al Faisal bin. The reports were later officially denied by the CIA and the American Hospital of Dubai. (Interestingly, in the CIA's denial, they also denied that the U.S. government ever had any relationship with Osama bin Laden, which is a provably glaring falsehood.) However, Le Figaro and Radio France International stand by the story, adding that the information was originally gathered by French intelligence, and confirmed by staff at the Dubai Hospital (including at least one member of the hospital administration), as well as by various Arab and Emirate diplomatic sources. Dr. Terry Callaway, the Canadian-trained specialist in charge of the famous urology department at the American Hospital of Dubai (who is believed to have treated Osama on this and two previous occasions in Dubai) refused on repeated occations to answer any questions about Osama bin Laden.

In continuation of this U.S. government policy of protecting their supposed "enemies" ("enemies" which nevertheless provide an extremely convenient pretext--à la Pearl Harbor and Operation Northwoods, etc.--for the U.S. government usurping ever more power and control), only dirt-poor Afghanistan goat-herders were taken to Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be publicly tortured in order to desensitize Americans to the torture that the globalists have planned for them. But the cream of the crop of the Taliban and al-Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan were given the royal treatment by the U.S. government for a job well-done:
