because USA has a two-faced position regarding Saudi Arabia and BinLaden is hiding in an area between Yeman and Saudi we wont touch him there, period I learn from what I see when I watch our relations with SA it is two-faced we know they fund terrorist groups under the guise of charities we know the AlQaeda members come largely from SA we need their billion$ on a weekly basis to finance TBonds we need their oil on a daily basis to keep our economy running thus we compromise on morals and ethics on a regular basis my lack of military record has nothing to do with it "bust balls"? Bush is taking many orders from Rumsfeld and Cheney now they are struggling to work around the UN they are struggling to enlist the support of Europe and Arab neighbors we cater and cowtow to SA in order to keep Prince Sultan Airfield ongoing and the oil & capital flowing plain & simple compromise I hear we are shifting our operations somewhat away from PSA but I doubt we shift entirely I stick with my words "we dont have the balls to attack AlQ inside SA, PERIOD!!!" TAKE A CHILL PILL I have nothing but respect for soldiers I have nothing but pity for soldiers who are ordered to fight and die, but not win, as in VietNam and several other skirmishes like the GulfWar politics has overriden military motivation where have you been for the last 30 years, my friend? meanwhile, politics has undermined our intelligence gathering efforts as well turf battles internally, avoidance of upset to allied leaders externally the higher order is maintaining the political balance politics is the greatest enemy of US Soldiers!!! soldiers left behind in Laos and Cambodia during VNWar soldiers abandoned in North VietNam prison camps soldiers betrayed with health problems following GulfWar soldiers need to quit beating their chests, yacking at critics, and start to realize where and what your enemies are more good was done for the US cause in demonstrating against the VNamWar than fighting and dying for Hamburger Hill on a repeated basis / jim
