- What is the time frame here?
Was Bin Laden in the sights before the Iraq invasion got into full swing.? If so, it all makes sense. Someone wanted a war in Iraq and needed a reason to justify going into a full scale invasion. Bin Laden and his lieutenants had to be allowed to escape in order to justify what was to happen next. If that''s not the case,it still makes a good plot for a "24" episode! - Reply to this comment
- I just read this over on armytimes.com
Here is a quote: "The nation%u2019s most prestigious group for Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans released a congressional scorecard on Tuesday that ranks Republican presidential candidate John McCain as having one of the worst voting records when it comes to supporting troops and veterans."

John McCain and Sarah Palin say in negative campaign attacks that that Senator Barack Obama has voted "against veterans". But that is not how the group "Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America" sees it. Does Sarah Palin want to challenge their patriotism too?
"Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don''t have much of a vision for the future or you''re not ready to articulate it." [John McCain - 2/21/2000] - Reply to this comment

- The report was factual but left much to be desired. All you did was say that several good assault plans were rejected by command, forcing a frontal assault using unreliable locals, and that the focus was to Afghanize the fighting of the war. You did not say why. You did not point out that before 9/11 the Bush administration was planning on attacking Iraq. You did not say that Weinberger hated the 1992 decision to stop short of invading Iraq. You did not wonder why we wanted to attack Iraq since Hussein and Al Queda were staunch enemies. You did not say that Afghanize really meant keep the 82nd Airborne and other highly mobile units ready for Iraq not Afghanistan. You did not give the background for any of it, just the already known fact that we lost him because we were stupid and decided to attack the wrong country.

- Does anyone else see the irony in the use of a "theatrical makup artist" for this?

- Yeah that''s it. "The media" is to blame. Anything to take the blame away from the inept gang of morons running the White House at the time.
Conservatives believe in personal responsibility until it''s applied to them. - Reply to this comment
- The media gave away all of our moves to capture Bin Laden and helped him escape by trying to be the first with the story. I remember hearing all about triangulating his cell phone, and I thought he''ll never pick it up again. He didn''t.

- "This is why the Laden Family were never picked up and hung."
Where were you born, beehive? Hang the family for the sins of the son. That''s warped...I don''t care who you are. I want justice. That doesn''t include killing the innocent. Isn''t that what Osama did?
There won''t be a WWIII. The WORD WAR (War On Terror)will last forever.imo
If after Pearl Harbor being bombed we attacked Japan enough to weaken them. Then took the majority of our troops around to Germany it would have just as much sense as what has happened in Afghanistan.
It''s the same as a boxer getting out of the ring during a fight and going after his next opponent prior to the fight being over. - Reply to this comment
- Bush and his Family,are friends with Bin Ladens Family ,they''re in construction.The elder Bush has been working with the family and made millions,when the kid went bad ,they let him go.So, Bin is loose or maybe jailed somewhere for his own good,but, the Bushes and Ladens are said to have an agreement,worth Billions,now.
It''s the word on the street.
This is why the Laden Family were never picked up and hung.
It''s going to be very difficult to rid the nation of the Bush influence ,they been in charge for 3- 4 decades.
Do not be surprised, if they start WW3,then it shall be King George,no elections in time of War. - Reply to this comment
