So much money,political fortune and reputations have changed hands in the US of A because of OBL politics.
There are politicians, businessman, military personnel and a multi billion dollar industry that exists because of the phobia called OBL and Al Qaeda
One presidential election has been won because of OBL
So why kill this industry by killing OBL and destroying Al Qaeda.
Americans have a blind belief in their 'system' and nothing can change this ( Not even truth )

Yep, just look at their defense budget:

Record U.S. defense spending, but future budgets may decline

Since the terrorist attacks of 2001, the defense budget has ballooned about 35 percent in real terms. Much of that rise can be attributed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which have cost the US about $691 billion so far.

For the 2009 fiscal year, the Defense Department is asking for $515 billion and a separate $70 billion to cover war costs into the early months of a new administration. Those amounts combined would represent the highest level of military spending since the end of World War II (adjusted for inflation). Already, defense spending hovers around 4 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), a level that would represent the new floor for defense budgets if many in the Pentagon have their way. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and other senior officials believe that that floor is the minimum needed to fund the department and the war on terrorism more broadly, regardless of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.More.
