He sure as hell wasn't going to be killed with a 24 or 48 hour cease fire either.Stupid ass politics isn't going to kill him either,or Sadr.
Especially when he likely wasn't there to begin with - Nor was there a full cease fire (like the MSM have reported) - Those spotted leaving the Mountain were engaged (this is often never told). What is also often never told is the very notion of "securing" or "cutting off all escape routes" from the Tora Bora mountain range is absolute BS....Not possible.
However we are in full agreement about "stupid as$ politics" not being helpful. But those politics are coming from within the Mil and Pentagon HQ's (not the WH, and not from this CIC).
Regarding Sadr...I posted above regarding him and that situation.
