Well, if they would have only sent Jack Ryan over there
I think Jack Bauer would catch OBL faster.
I am confident that will will get him eventually. This is a big planet but OBL will not die of old age.

First off, we did have UBL within reach at T.B.. I'm not going to try to remember names right now, if requested, I'll post them later. Anyway, we had him cornered, the CIA Agent in Charge wired Wa. D.C. asking for dry ice (he was told to send UBL's head to the oval office) and was immediately informed that indigenous forces were taking over and they would handle the actual capture/kill.
Bush is a huge failure, a liar, a con artist,a chickenhawk, and a coward. Not taking time to meet with cindy sheehan yesterday, someone who lost a son in bush's war, is shameful, but doesn't surprise me. He must have been too busy clearing brush. I hope patrick fitzgerald, the special prosecutor, puts him and every lying, thieving, scumbag, Democrat or republican, that lied us into this war in prison for life, no parole. Bring on the flame
ok, he got what he wanted, he's been flamed enough. Lets get back on topic please.Bring on the flame
I did answer your question. Bring some real facts and logic to the table, then we can discuss them. This "Bush sucks because I say so" nonsense just won't fly with me, I suspect it doesn't fly with most of the members here either. It does fly over at DU, which is why I directed you there, since you seem to prefer personal attacks over proper debating etiquette.What kind of evidence/testimony/observation/etc, if any, it would take to change your views of B2 and his administration?
in case you've forgotten, and to lurch this back onto the topic.For example, detail the so-called "massive military resources" that were in Afganistan at the start of the Tora Bora operation, that were "diverted" because of Iraq.
Justin, when I read that, I spewed fried rice all over the monitor - what a mess to clean up.Last I heard, Bin Laden was kickin' it with Emmanuel Goldstein.
In posts #5 and #9, Rebar brought up a question pertinent to the thread.
Even if the Bush bashing is absolutely correct, it has nothing to do with the thread, nor with Rebar's question.
Answer the question or see the thread closed because of off-thread BS.
For example, detail the so-called "massive military resources" that were in Afganistan at the start of the Tora Bora operation, that were "diverted" because of Iraq. As far as I know, there wasn't a single US division in Afganistan at the time, feel free to correct me, if you can.
To what end?Not taking time to meet with cindy sheehan yesterday, someone who lost a son in bush's war, is shameful, but doesn't surprise me.
ACtually, we went in to rid the place of weapons of mass destruction, AND to free the Iraqis from Saddam, AND to build a mid-east democracy, along with several other reasons I can think of, and probably some I have no clue about. What has changed has been the political emphasis, which has shifted with the political winds.First, we were there to rid weapons of mass destruction, then to free the Iraqis from Saddam, then to build a mid-east democracy, and now to eradicate an insurgency. Our mission has changed several times under Bush's presidency.
That's funny, cause I had friends who were on the ground over there.The whole war was based on Northern alliance troops backed by US airpower.
The seige of Tora Bora happened in Dec 2001, as meantioned in the original article. The Iraqi invasion started March 20, 2003. Well over a year later.
The troops on the ground consisted primarily of 101st Airborne (Air Assault), 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit and various Special Operations units.

I don't know why so many get their panties in a bunch over us not getting Bin Laden (other than to bash Bush). It's not like we get him and all sudden the Towers will magically resurrect themselves and all the dead will come back to life.
