You get your info from a leftwing echo chamber. Out in the real world, things are not as calamatous as you think.

They've been rebuilding for the past two years in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.......

No, there are no AQ training camps in Afghanistan as there were before. Even in Pakistan, where AQ operates they do so on a low profile basis now as they are likely to get hit by a missile if they are too visible.

or did you think that it was Mother Theresa who suicided and killed over a 100 people this past weekend.

A suicide bombing is not a sign or AQ or the Taliban is growing in power. Its a sign of desparation.

Allies? You call Afghan. and Iraq allies? Countries that rely on you for money and military support are not allies but rather dependents.......expensive ones at that.

Yes we have allies. And sometimes allies need aid. That doesn't make them non-allies. You guys are so wrong-headed. You seem determined to help our enemies and hurt our friends.

We would have captured bin Laden and been out there long ago.

Are you kidding me? You wouldn't have had the guts to go in. Remember all the media warnings about the dreaded AFghan winter? About how attacking during Ramadan would turn the Muslim world against us? Remember the warnings about how the British were never able to tame Afghanistan?

Democrats might have bombed Afghanistan - they'd have never put any troops on the ground there.

Next, simply capturing bin Ladin, which you wouldn't have done, wouldn't have put AQ out of business.

And after you brought him to the US and found the soldiers hadn't read him his rights, you probably would have turned him free anyway. When the Sudan offered to turn over bin Ladin, Clinton was afraid to take him. So he let him leave for AFghanistan.
