Exactly.

If Jason thinks that we shoud've given the Afghani government two months to produce OBL, that's just stupid and doesn't merit a comment. They gave him a running start so that he could get away and they could focus their attention on Iraq without having to deal with him immediately.

That is utter BS and you know it. If the US had responded on 9/12 alone and with full force against Afganistan, it would have been WWIII and you know it. Also, don't you think it was kind of okay to try and use diplomacy to save the thousands of innocent civilians not to mention out troops who died their. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but almost all intelligence indicates OBL was still in Afganistan when we went there. So, it not like he fled to another country in the meantime.

Read post #262. Don't put words in my mouth, pal, and say I advocated something that I didn't.

As for the intelligence, we all know how reliable our intel is, right? If he was still there, we would've caught him.

They gave him two months to leave at a snail's pace, don't color the water or talk about diplomacy. You and I both know this administration wrote the book on how not to be diplomatic.

You started with the "if we attacked on 9/12" bull**** when you knew that was the farthest thing from the my mind or this conversation. Again, refer to post #262 and you'll see what I really said.

Imagine what he could spill about the Bush boys. No, he's very low on their priority list.

A few posts ago it was 800. Make up your mind. By the way, how did the Libya thing play on Fox News tonight? Did it play at all?

I did not watch it. BTW - the 800 was the extended family and the 100 was just brothers. BOTH are very general estimates.

Yes. The UN inspectors didn't find anything and they weren't finished yet.
