9/11 was Osama bin Laden's fault.

100% true, but did you think 6 years later he would still be out and
about? I would argue *that* is Bush's fault.
What would you have done differently to capture OBL? Don't tell me
how
Bush screwed it up and that the Democrats would have done it better.
What actions would you Thunder have taken to track down OBL and
capture
or kill him?
Two things I can think of right off the top of my head, I wouldn't of
been sidetracked by invading Iraq, or do you actually think there were
WMD? Secondly, I would have kept the man who murdered 3000 Americans
a
priority.

care.
It's not that important. It's not our priority."

Perhaps, you think differently, but I think the strongest statement
that
can be make in this "War on Terror" is to track down those that
attacked
us.

Have you ever considered that bin Laden, as an individual, is *not*
important. What is important is the world-wide, religiously based
uprising against anything or anybody not believing in fundamental
Islam. Bin Laden may be a vocal centerpiece and symbol, but he by
himself is not that important.

It would be good to get him for symbolic reasons, but if bin Laden was
discovered dead tomorrow, nothing much would change.

Bush may actually have his eye on the ball. It's the public that may
be looking for a simplistic solution.
If we kill OBL he becomes a martyr and is good for recruitment, for
al-qiada.

Not under MY plan, he doesn't.

Enlighten us please.

How about YOU enlightening us about what measures have prevented any further
attacks on U.S. soil? You left that question hanging yesterday.
