"I understand that President Musharraf has his own challenges," Obama said. "But let me make this clear. There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again. It was a terrible mistake to fail to act when we had a chance to take out an al Qaeda leadership meeting in 2005. If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will."

AMEN! Bush used the terrible attack on 9-11 as nothing more then a cynical excuse to invade Iraq and ignored the real enemy in the form of al-Qaeda, because he needed to keep bin Laden alive and on the loose so he had a boogieman to frighten small children, cowards and other republicans with. In the process Bush has become the number one worldwide recruiter for al-Qaeda as is proven by the creation of new cells in Iraq where no terrorists existed before.
