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.

"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."

"I am truly not that concerned about him."

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.

Find and kill the *******. Then put his remains in the poured concrete
foundation of the new World Trade Center.

We already know you want to find him and kill him. What we want to know
is how you would go about the task of finding OBL?

And stop all the annual public memorials concerning 9/11. Every time
we openly obsess about it, the terrorists score another victory
without lifting a finger. If you want to mourn, do it in private, not
as a national exhibition.

Should we stop the annual wreath laying at the USS Arizona monument in
Pearl Harbor? Should we get rid of the tomb's of the unknown soldiers at
Arlington National Cemetery?
