1. They disappeared with
Osama's Tora Bora fortress, that was stocked with tons of weapons and equipment.

The Lair of Bin Laden is a fictoid that originated in the highly-enterprising British press on November 27th, 2001. The chronology is as follows. On November 26th, the New York Times carried a story based on the account of an a ex-Russian soldier, Viktor Kutsenko, who had served in Afghanistan in the nineteen-eighties in which he claimed that there had seen an elaborate cave complex in Zhawar with "iron doors" that contained " a bakery, a hotel with overstuffed furniture, a hospital with an ultrasound machine, a library, a mosque, weapons of every imaginable stripe; a service bay with a World War II-era Soviet tank inside, in perfect running order." The historic story then added "Mr. bin Laden is reported to have upgraded both it and a nearby camp in the 1990's."

2. Thanks for reminding us
I remember one of the neo-con war-pushers prior to the war saying it (below Baghdad) was as extensive as the New York Subway - built by Germans - blah blah blah.

Our intel prior to going into the war was so bad - it's amazing more Americans haven't been killed.

Faith based intel.
