When you have your intelligence resources devoted to assembling shreds
of "evidence" to "prove" the existence of Iraq WMD, there's not much
left over to hunt for Bin Laden.
Bush made himself clear in his words above.
Iraq was always more important to him than Bin Laden.
He shut down the CIA unit hunting for Obama in 2005.
That's when Bin Laden had his house built. 2005.
Obama was saying back in 2007 that he would send troops into Pakistan to
get Bin Laden or any other high level target.

The only problem with that is the path to this house came from 2007
and some information they got from KSM in Gitmo. Maybe we just said we
were not "looking for OBL" to get him to relax and settle in
somewhere.

There's no "problem" with the facts I stated.
Anything about KSM and where the "path" started is talking head
speculation.
I already hear the Bush fans using this to justify torture.
And those on the other side denying it.
Here's what we know: Obama got Bin Laden. And GWB didn't.

That is so simplistic... as if it wasn't a ten year hunt... The
intelligence agencies got Bin Laden. All either President Bush or
President Obama did was say, "go get 'em"...

The thing that Obama did right was hire the right guys, make sure they
had the right support, training and stayed out of the way while they
did their job.

I give him an A on this one.

And, the thing GWB did right?
