cocky s.o.b. was more interested in molding his new military strategy than catching bin laden "The vast array of American military power, from sniper teams to the most mobile divisions of the marine corps and the army, was kept on the sidelines,...the US command chose to rely on airstrikes and untrained Afghan militias to attack Bin Laden and on Pakistan's loosely organized Frontier Corps to seal his escape routes...... Fewer than 100 American commandos were on the scene with their Afghan allies and calls for reinforcements to launch an assault were rejected.......Requests were also turned down for US troops to block the mountain paths leading to sanctuary a few miles away in Pakistan.....On or around December 16, two days after writing his will, Bin Laden and an entourage of bodyguards walked unmolested out of Tora Bora and disappeared into Pakistan's unregulated tribal area. Most analysts say he is still there today." AFP: Rumsfeld decision let Bin Laden escape: report
This is bizarre. I was in a heated discussion with a relative over the Holiday about the same thing. Hadn't thought of OBL or Tora Bora in years, but the conversation popped up after Turkey. I agree 100%, a big FAIL that could have been prevented. Though, I hope, if we had eliminated him, we would not have publicized it, just let him fade away. hwr
The funny thing is that no one knows for sure if OBL is alive or dead. If you can prove he lived through the heavy bombing at Tora Bora please let me know. Btw if there is anyone that is a cocky sob, its obama. Apologizing and trying to remake the country in his image.
Hasn't he put out like ten video messages since then describing current events? That would seem like proof to me.
I don't think its that many, how long has it been since the last one? I honestly don't remember? Seems to be everyone but him? How do we know its actually him or wasn't recorded before certain events. I just don't remember but he has seemed to be absent for a very long time now. It seems like everyone but him makes these videos.
I hope, if we ever do kill him, or even if we have, we never disclose it. Can't be a martyr if you are not dead.
