My take is simple.
We dropped the ball.
Period.

Had we thrown the forces in Afghanistan that we threw at Iraq we would have surrounded Bin Laden and captured him.

The cynical might suggest we never really wanted to capture him.
A perpetual war will perpetually degrade our freedoms, perhaps by design.

I do not believe that, but it is plausible.
