Capacities change, Gerry - depending upon circumstances. I hurt my leg a few years back while playing with my sons. Had to sit out more than I wanted. But I still gave as much as I could, even while sitting. Once I healed, I intensified my efforts in getting back into the game. Bush has to deal with far more circumstances than perhaps any of us. He has to negotiate them all. You clearly have no idea how to hunt anything. It is not always strategically advantageous to press the quarry with fire power. Sometimes, it is nice to pull away and leave it be for long periods of time, giving it comfort, allowing it to emerge from its hiding spot. Then when you locate it, you intensify your efforts to take it. You are just acting stupid and being unreasonable. We can easily dismiss you now.

"You can't intensify an effort if you are already giving 100%" Maybe you are honest, and just not too smart. We allocate our military resources to all kinds of events. From the NK/SK dmz, to Germany, to Iraq, to Saddam to protecting our embassy in Haiti, to hunting terrorists in Sudan, to helping the Phillipine military catch terrorists, etc., etc., etc. Of course we could intensify ANY of these items along with some we don't even know about. If the trail gets hot (which I believe it has) then we can "intensify" INSTANTLY, as we should be able to do. To say that we have not allocated enough resources to hunt OBL is to say that you know more about the situation than our smartest and most informed people. But you realize you COULD NOT POSSIBLY be in a position to make that claim (without getting laughed off the face of the earth), so you have to lie to yourself, or believe other anti-US interests who are lying about it so you can SLAM BUSH even if there is no real reason to do so. To me, it looks like you are setting up to slam Bush for it taking so long to get OBL, while ignoring the FACT that so far he has not been able to follow up on the attorcity of 9-11-01. I get the feeling you want another one so you can slam Bush for that too.
