According to the CIA field commander at Tora Bora, U.S. intelligence absolutely knew that Osama Bin Laden was not only present, but virtually trapped.  All the CIA and Special Forces guys needed was additional conventional support to cut off his escape, and Bin Laden would have been arrested.
This was in December of 2001.
But Bush and Rumsfeld never sent the additional troops.

i really do, how can you leave such a ''criminal'' get away?
don't play fool any more people...you have to face it sometime that Osama bin Laden will die as free man not because you will never catch him but because you're not after him in the first place...
all this joke, the war in afghanistan etc. is happening only the keep your forces occupied, to find a meaning for their existence and to sell more and more weapons....
because in the end you will leave from afghanistan just like the russians did a few decades ago, with the head down....and then you'll find another country, like bolivia i.e. to point your guns towards to
your nation is known as ''the protector of freedom and democracy'' , ''the protector of the poor and the opressed''.....and if there will be no opressed nations left, you will use the means to create one so as you will interfere again and again and again until everyone will be using american products and speak the english language...
you must face the truth sometime and watch a few times the documentary film farenheit 9-11 to learn a few things about who governs you and what happened those days that more or less everyone wants to forget......
so my bottom line here and the question i have for you is: how did you feel when the two planes crashed in the towers? 
i can imagine how you felt.....anger and despair...that's exactly how an afghan boy feels when his village is wiped out by an apache attack helicopter....only in afghanistan there's no tv to show what's really happening;)

 I wasn't the one initially pointing a finger dude. Heaven forbid that I mention that Clinton had several chances when Osama was STARTING his operations.  :rolleyes: Why of course it's ALL Bushes fault...until after the next election then people can bust that Presidents balls for all the worlds faults.

		It's not all Bush's fault. It's just that whenever anyone says anything damning about Bush, you have to go say something bad the Democrats did. But I've said it before and I'll say it again, parliamentary/presidential elections mean nothing. The last election was decided by the Supreme Court, not the people, just one of the most recent blatant examples of how the real power lies not with the opinions of individuals. If the majority opinion had been expressed, Gore would be president, and he would be doing the same things Bush is doing. 
Choose And Lose: Fuck The Vote!
Elections Are A Scam
Call This Choice?

 THIS is the name of the thread and the first line of the first post.

Turns out Bush could have nailed him years ago. 
Guess I should have just put in here; yep, he surely did!
Comparing Gore to Bush now? Be thankfull that Gore didn't get in. You people think your losing your rights now remember, it was his lovely wife Tipper that was behind the music rating system. She wanted a lot more control than that if you remember...thats if you actually watched the hearings on TV with Tipper and Frank Zappa going at it!

		See, there you go again, pointing out how the Democrats would have restricted our personal liberties, as if it lets the Republicans off the hook.

 So in other words you didn't watch the hearings. :rolleyes:

		No, I did not, but that has nothing to do with the hole I just poked in your fallacious argument.

		Oh yes, you really got me there. :rolleyes:  FACT Clinton raised the anti-drug budget from 1.5 billion to 16.5 billion. Tipper was the one that put labels on your music and made companies include lyrics. Al Gore was all for jumping gas prices so high that we would HAVE TO go to electric cars. 
Wooooooops, I didn't mention what an Ass Bush is!!! :rolleyes:

		By the way, did you even WATCH the hearings or just bitch when they were done?

		You still fail to see the fallacy in those arguments: just because the Democrats do/did/would have done bad things, does not mean that the injustices of the Republicans (such as introducing the Patriot Act, used to clamp down on freedom of speech by non-violent individuals such as Sherman Austin, opposing the rights of gay people to marry, befriending brutal dictatorships like Saudi Arabia, opposing medical marijuana, etc.) are acceptable.
