We needed to send a clear message to the Islamofacists that the days of issuing sanctions and "strongly worded condemnations" were over.
We had GOOD reason to think WMDs were in Iraq. To be honest many of us in the military are pretty convinced they went over the border to Syria.
We now have the Jihadis HAVING to commit resources, that could otherwise be directed at the U.S., to Iraq. Even if we get hit 5 more times in the U.S., if we make a democracy in the Mid-East, they lose.
So you go into the neighborhood where they operate, set up a noticable presence, and start to take down their various operations.
How come liberals can't make this connection. It's the same thing - Go into the bad guys' neighborhood and begin shutting down his operations.
But liberals keep screaming: "What about OBL" - but if we had gone after ONLY OBL, they'd bitch about not going after TERRORISTS. Get it yet?

As to why not just concentrate on OBL? Ok, here's an asnwer, and after I give it spread the word:
If you have rampant crime in your city, and one day the head honcho of one of the mob families does something totally over the top - what do you do?
You promise to take him down, but also to fight organized crime in general. You remember Chicago in the 30? Did the law go ONLY after Capone? No!

I answered you. How come liberals keep saying "what about Bin Laden" and keep point to him AND ONLY HIM.
Why? It's a TALKING POINT, and that's it. We do have people hunting OBL, but we are also fighting terrorists in Iraq.
OBL was one of DOZENS of terrorists who had hit us, we finally went into the mid-east and put the Islamofacists on notice: No more crap.
How can you NOT get that?
