re: So once again the implication that we didn't go after Al Qaeda and bin Laden simply isn't true, as is the implications that we used grossly insufficient forces, or that it would have been much more likely to have killed or captured bin Laden if Iraq never happened.

No, it's not. We didn't even send in the Special Forces. If we had focused on getting the top al Qaeda leadership, and used all the resources at our disposal, we would have had them. In the know folks have admitted we started drawing away the special ops assets in preparation for Iraq.

Bush lost interest, and even admitted it.

PS The proof is in the result. Would you have imagined that 3 years after 9/11 we would be watch bin Laden lecture our President on TV?
