Did Bin Laden get exactly what he wanted and DID Bush fall into his trap?

Just seen an expert on the BBC News say this.

Did Bin Laden think Bush would attack Afghanistan and drag him into a war he could never win in reply to 9/11?

It certainly has turned out that way. Bin Laden must of known if he did something as terrible as 9/11 a President like Bush would never let it go without a retaliation. The idea that he thought Bush would do nothing like Clinton did with the previous attacks is even more absurd.

Bush took his eye off the ball and made it easier for Bin Laden by attacking Iraq. Doubt if Bin Laden planned for that, I bet he was pleased about it though.

The question now is do we carry on in this un winnable war or do we pull out and tell them we will return if they attack us or do we step it up?

And how do we step it up?

Obama made a very good point yesterday while talking to students. He said giving into terrorists is not a solution. The more you give in the more they want.
