The reasons I feel we lost focus:

1) Last year, we pulled most of our Arabic speakers out of Afghanistan and moved them to Iraq.

2) We are announcing a new high tech search for Bin Laden. WTF? Why didn't we do this a year ago.

3) I believe that invading Iraq has helped Bin Laden. His main goal is to foment a religious war between Islam and Christianity (He is living in the 11th Century). Iraq in turmoil helps with al qaeda recruitment.

Look at this letter from al qaeda today: "We have succeeded in infiltrating the heart of crusader Europe and struck one of the bases of the crusader alliance,".

I remember when Bush used the word "crusade" to describe our efforts in the middle east ... that just played into Bin Laden's hands.

I could go on and on.
Best to you!
