If that's your evaluation, give Bush an "F," because he stated several
times he just wasn't that interested in running down Osama.

I really think this was just to do what I have been saying we should
be doing all along, lull OBL into a bit of complacency so we can catch
up to him,

Remember my squirrel hunting analogy. When you want to hunt squirrels
you sit quietly by a tree and ignore them until they get comfortable
enough to come out and run around. If you are looking for them you
will seldom see them

Note we are talking about wild squirrels, not the ones in your bird
feeder. Even those would get pretty hard to find if you started
shooting at them.

Osama apparently moved to his palatial estate in 2005 or 2006, during
the Bush Admin, when it became apparent the Bush Admin was not looking
for him.

... where we found him. That was my point. If he was still running
around in the mountains or slipped off into Somalia or Yemen we may
never have found him. Our best chance was if he settled down somewhere
and let his guard down. Personally I think this would have worked out
faster if we had not invaded Afghanistan. He may have become less
guarded and made the critical mistake sooner.

Wow... so basically you're claiming Bush's incompetence was really
just brilliance hiding. Talk about delusional!
