Now this is just a laughable statement from the Obama camp.
He said they "helped to engineer the distraction of the war in Iraq at a time when we could have pinned down the people who actually committed 9-11." He said Osama bin Laden is still at large in part because of their failed strategies.
Bin Laden is free because he is in the tribal areas of a country that is armed with nukes. He escaped there because we did not want to drop 100,000 troops into Afghanistan because we were working with the Northern Alliance. In other words we trusted the Afghanistani fighters and our Air Power could get Osama at Tora Bora and we simply dropped the ball.
We currently can't get him because he is in Pakistan and we refuse to violate their sovereignty and invade the western part of their country without their permission. Even if we had every troop in Iraq in Afghanistan we still couldn't get him without the backing of Pakistan. The GOP has nothing to do with the generals in charge of military operations. Is Obama saying that they failed in their duty? I would like to see him say that to the face of General Tommy Franks who was in charge at the battle of Tora Bora. Generals plan wars but only politicians have the ability to lose them.
