He didn't even need a drone. The Taliban were so afraid of a possible invasion of Afghanistan that they were willing to nab bin Laden, with the only face saving measure being that they hand him over to Turkey, who would then pack him off to the States.
That's probably true, a bounty on his head big enough could have done that too. But putting him a prison would have really made him a bigger martyr if he stood trial, I think what Obama did then dumping him in the ocean took that away. He is still seen as a hero to many, but Alquida isn't as big as it was, ISIS is taking that spotlight now.
We cant stay completely out of global conflict. But after what the GOP has done over the rule under Bush and Sr and even Russia with Reagan and Afghanistan and support of Iraq against Iran, I think that party has proven they have no clue what to do.
