Failure to send troops in pursuit
termed gravest error of war so far

By Barton Gellman and Thomas E. Ricks
THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON, April 17 — The Bush administration has concluded that Osama bin Laden was present during the battle for Tora Bora late last year and that failure to commit U.S. ground troops to hunt him was its gravest error in the war against al Qaeda, according to civilian and military officials with first-hand knowledge.

“We [messed] up by not getting into Tora Bora sooner and letting the Afghans do all the work,” said a senior official with direct responsibilities in counterterrorism. “Clearly a decision point came when we started bombing Tora Bora and we decided just to bomb, because that’s when he escaped. ... We didn’t put U.S. forces on the ground, despite all the brave talk, and that is what we have had to change since then.”
