Thank You Bump.
Truly trash, and a great way of shifting blame from those in charge.
Face the truth. If the Dems were in power now, most here would be blaming a Dem Prez or Congress for us not having Osama.
That actually happened and they lied about it. If Clinton hadn't been preoccupied we would have had Osama long before 9/11, but I see your point.
I never claimed to personally possess evidence. I passed on information which is purportedly from Miss Donnelly and the MRC. I don't have the ability to to do anything more in this particular venue.
" It appears that you are speculating..."
I am not speculating at all. I had merely passed on verbatim information from a reliable source from a person (Donnelly) who is reputable.
Agreed!!!
Agree mostly - The fact is for varying number of reasons we didn't have the needed assets on the ground and therefore had to rely on Afghan soldiers during the Tora Bora operation.
One of the main reasons for this (and probably much more the case than anything to do with women in combat) is the JAGs in the military right now! - They are simply risk adverse - Any Op they want zero casualties projections before they give their "go ahead" and commanders looking to add another rank take their advice way too often!
UBL and Zawahiri have managed to ekk out a survival in the one area US SOF haven't been able to hunt for them (independently) and that is the Pak border region.
It is obvious from within the Pak border region they are working within our OODA loop (just as Zarqawi has managed to in Iraq).
Hunting UBL in the Pak border region is the only way to get him - Though how to go about doing that is extremely difficult.
