Re: "I think there were serious errors," Mr. Kerry said in an interview, referring to the American ground campaign in Afghanistan that he contends probably allowed Osama bin Laden to slip into Pakistan.... >>> A fair point to raise. The CIA now confirms that on at least 12 occasions they were prevented from firing Predator-carried missiles at Taliban and al Qaeda convoys fleeing towards the safety of Pakistan because of the necessity of securing Pentagon approval before firing. >>> That approval was often denied... or else delayed 12 to 24 hours, by which time the prey had escaped. >>> Furthermore, the great "Airlift of Evil" during which Pakistan was allowed to evacuate hundreds of it's ISI spy masters, Generals, and assorted operatives before they could be captured by advancing Northern Alliance troops undoubtedly allowed many of their high ranking Taliban clients to also be spirited away in the dark of night. >>> On at least three nights Pakistan was allowed to make these evacuation flights, and American aircrews were ordered to stand down. No one knows who was snuck out of the country except Pakistan, because we were denied access to this information... and, in fact, were lied to by the Pakistanis about the total number of the evacuees. >>> Then, later, there was the Tora Bora screwup. >>> No wonder so many Tali and al Qaeda higher-ups are still at large... or safe in the tribal regions of Pakistan.
