Well, 9/11 hadn't been carried out yet, so it's hard to say. I would say no, IMO. 9/11 is what sealed OBLs fate. I know he had his hands in embassy bombings, the USS Cole, etc and while tragic, they're just not on the same scale as the 9/11 attacks.

I've also wondered what a shitstorm we would be now if the mission was not a success, ala Iran 30+ years ago.

Who knows. There would be a big difference between conducting the raid and there was no Bin Laden VS conducting the raid and there was Bin Laden but he escapes and our troops get captured/killed by the terrorists. There would be two completely different fallouts.
