No, it doesn't raise questions. We knew back in 2003 that there was never a long-term plan. The point was to kill a guy, and then to do some military spending. A major success, on those lines.

The Taliban are terrible, though.

Turns out they were also attempting to monopolize the worlds heroin supply too, a major success on those lines too.
