>> 9/11 was at least 10 years in the making.

That isn't correct.

The original plan for 9/11 was first seen by bin Laden in '96. It moved very slowly for a while after that.


Fine. 5 years; not 10.

>> At the end of the Bush administration, there had been little progress in diminishing al Qaida's strength.

Again, to support that claim you would need to show that Obama created bin Laden's "despondency" between January, 2009 and October, 2010 (actually, between 1/09 and 5/10, since the memo was actually written in May and sent in October). Bin Laden himself acknowledged it:

What despondency? bin laden periodically released videos up until 2007 taunting the US. How are those acts of despondency? Of course, the Bush administration would suggest he was sick and dying, putting him in one place; then another.....usually a mt cave when in fact he was living comfortably in Pakistan. That doesn't sound like a despondent man to me. And during the years after 9/11, al Qaida was responsible for bombings throughout the world.
