Osama Bin Forgotten????

[gmboy95]

Can I ask a question....If we where told on September 12th 2001 that we would not have found and killed bin laden 7 years later, Would that have been acceptable?, and who is accountable for that??

Ya might find this interestin':

"Our job was to go find him, capture or kill him, and we knew the writing on the wall was to kill him because nobody wanted to bring Osama bin Laden back to stand trial in the United States somewhere," the mission commander tells Pelley.

In 2001, just 10 weeks after 9/11, he was a 37-year-old Army major leading a team of America's most elite commandos. Even now, 60 Minutes can't tell you his name or show you his face. 60 Minutes hired a theatrical make up artist to take this former Delta officer through a series of transformations to disguise him. He calls himself "Dalton Fury," and is the author of "Kill Bin Laden," a new book out this week.

I believe Obama said: “We will kill bin Laden. We will crush Al Qaida, that has to be our biggest national security priority.”

Wouldn't he want to talk to him/them first? Maybe he can persuade them to change their evil ways.

Seems like a reasonable question.

The bipartisan 9/11 Commission concluded that - far from doing more than anyone to kill the brutal murderer who now is the international face of terrorism - President Clinton had flatly refused to allow the military or CIA to kill Osama bin Laden. Clinton's instructions were that bin Laden should be taken, if at all, alive not dead. CIA officials reported that this instruction cut the chance of success in half.
Evidence before the 9/11 Commission showed that the Clinton Administration had live footage of Osama bin Laden at a camp in Afghanistan in the Fall of 2000, a year before the 9/11 attacks, but didn't act. NBC's Tom Brokaw, playing the tape on-air in 2004, noted rightly that this was an enormous opportunity lost. Having gotten bin Laden in your sights isn't something to brag about if you weren't willing to pull the trigger.

How can we find bin laden when our military is busy in Iraq?

Nice try, but sorry, that is meaningless to the current discussion

Maybe you should ask the soldiers in Afghanistan.

 

[SteveInBrooklyn]

Maybe you should ask the soldiers in Afghanistan.

They are in more danger now, 7 years aftger 9/11, than they have ever been? Why? Because the Republican administration has utterly, totally, unequivocally FAILED in the war on terror. COme to think of it, the Republican administration has FAILED at everything it has tried to do.

Because every time we venture into the tribal regions of Pakistan, where bin Laden is suspected to be holed up, the Pakistani government threatens to gun down our troops. Nice allies ..

which is why obamas policy of getting obama despite pakistans "problems"...is the right policy, unlike mccains "I will follow him to the gates of hell" as long as the gates of hell end at the border of pakistan

McCain is wrong on several counts when it comes to the
war on terror 'n it appears Petraeus agrees with Obama:

Petraeus' comments were reported on yesterday by Spencer Ackerman and were noted elsewhere today, and we think they deserve more attention. We went to the video on Heritage's site to get a longer transcript, and sure enough, the context shows that Petraeus was more or less backing up Obama's point of view.

So, you'd have no problem with Obama ordering troops into Pakistan?

I wouldn't. I want a Commander-in-Chief with courage. Pakistan is going to tell the USA it can't have bin Laden?????? And McCain is ok with that????? What a COWARD!!!!

To Kill Bin Laden????....I would invade canada if they are not willing to help....you agree, right?????

Looks like someone went in there:

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan — A suspected U.S. missile strike targeted two areas in a Pakistani tribal region near the Afghanistan border on Thursday, killing at least nine people, Pakistani intelligence officials said.LINK

It would be so tragic if he died in freedom, of natural causes because captuing the worst mass murderer in our history and bringing him to justice was something Bush didn't think was too important:

I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts,
3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)

Notice the date of the first quote. Six months after the crimes he didn't care about making Bin Laden pay for what he did
