<<Catching him was not as urgent a task and neither was it so important to the American public before 9/11, as I am sure you will agree. It was not a priority item. I believe it has become a priority since 9/11.>>

Most of The American people didn't even know of OBL before 9/11. That said, our leadership did and they considered him a major threat. Clinton was searching for him in a big way but couldn't find him. The point being that it really isn't Clinton Or Bush but rather the agencies we employ that have had a hard time finding him. Its not for lack of effort....both Administrations were looking and looking hard. So to call Bush inept because we have been unable to find 1 person is ridiculous and disingenuous. Everyone knows its a tough task and its not like we aren't trying.

<<And so is your assertion that he has not done anything since 9/11 because being on the run inhibits his ability to plot terrorist attacks.>>

I don't think thats speculation. What terrorist event has happened in the US since 9/11 that was OBL sponsored? None - thats not speculation....thats fact.

<<Yes I do. He is the one who cooked up 9/11 after all, a fact one might forget looking at Bush's discourse of the past six months or so.>>

I haven't forgotten who was behind 9/11. Do you think you're the only person who recalls that event and who was behind it?
