[QUOTE="p228, post: 723268, member: 27328"] bin Laden was likely expecting a few cruise missiles to be fired at a location he was at hours before, like after the USS Cole. It was pretty obvious he didn't expect a full on invasion since he was exactly where we expected him to be, in the mountains of Tora Bora. The book "Kill bin Laden" is a good read about the battle in Tora Bora and how close Delta came to killing him. At one point, toward the end of the battle, they intercept a communication from bin Laden in which he apologized to his men for getting them in this and gave them permission to surrender if they so desired. The ground fighting was done entirely by the mujahideen under the direction of Delta. The Delta boys were only allowed to call in air support, so they made up for it by dropping several thousand bombs in the mountains.
