I agree with you Dan. And i think you need to add that a lot of personnel, resources, money, and time that could have been spent finding OBL and dismantaling AQ has been shifted to Iraq.
>>PS -- as an ex military man, what is your theory about why we haven't captured Osama bin Laden yet? We have the most military might in the history of the planet, this guy directed the biggest catastrophe in our nation's history, and somehow we can't find him? We even know where he is, or claim to -- in the mountains along the Pakistani border. But somehow this is too big a mission for our troops to accomplish. What do you think we aren't being told?
