It is my opinion that the boogeyman, Bin Laden, was more useful alive for Bush Jr. to use against terrified and ignorant americans while invading Afghanistan to capture energy resources and establish hegemony in the area.
But Sudan and Uganda has greater proven oil and natural gas reserves than Afghanistan.
And the US has NOT captured and controlled oil fields in either Afghanistan or Iraq.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
