We've neuralized Osama's operational effectiveness since 9/11. He's nothing more than a talking head now. I agree that as long as that man is alive, his cancer spreads. However, it has always been exceedingly difficult to track down one man. Bush never took his eye off the ball. He's had special ops teams specifically assigned to find Osama from day one. The thing is that the war on terror has many fronts. If you fight just one of those fronts and ignore all the others, then they will eat your lunch.
You saying that going after Osama is all we should be doing is like telling a manufacturing foreman with line problems that he should go after that one guy who's real slow, but ignore all the other problems in the supply chain. That is very naive. Going after the funding of terrorism, putting UN resolutions in place to get a worldwide front against terrorism, going after Saddam, Iran, Syria, and the Palestinian issues...doing all these things all at once, while we also going after Osama with specifically assigned special ops team, is an absolute necessity and is what Bush is doing.
So again, just focusing on Osama is a really bad strategy. You may not like Bush, but he's clearly more on the ball than you are, because he's tackling all the tough issues wrt terrorism, while you are laser focused on just one.
Having said that Bush is fighting the war effectively on all fronts, there is one front that I believe he's failed on and that is, the diplomatic front. There are some encouraging signs recently that he's learned a couple lessons, but let's see what comes of it. |
