It took two years to arrest the guy behind the 1993 WTC bombings.
It took 10 years to kill Bin Laden for 9/11, and 14 to get him for the 1998 African Embassy bombings. Some other individuals given indictments in those attacks took over 10 years to arrest or kill, some are still free. 1998 United States embassy bombings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charges for the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole weren't handed down in some cases until 8 years later.
This is how it goes with international terrorism, it takes a lot of time to conduct an investigation and put together a case, then once charges have been laid depending on where the guy is currently located, if we know where he's located, and how friendly the government is of that location, it may be years and years before we actually take him into custody. Then it may be years and years and years until the trial starts.
This is how its always been, before Obama, after Obama. Yet the ignorant among us think that these things can be solved in no time at all, that's its just a simple matter, but really they have no clue at all.
You make some valid points.
But usually they have a hard time locating the suspect. That hasn't really been the case with this cat.
