Zonkie. You said...." Probably our biggest mistake in Afghanistan was allowing others to do too much of the fighting for us. "..... You think more US soldiers should have been put in harms way? You think the USA should have done it alone/ Little or no allies? You said...." He just about gave up the hunt for bin Laden by pulling out the special forces which spoke the language there. These troops were able to go into villages and speak with the natives to gather intelligence. I have heard it said they felt they were making very good progress in the hunt for bin Laden until they were ordered out and thought they were close on his tail. "... How do you know special forces were ordered out? " you have heard it said ".... With all do respect what you may have heard said means nothing. I have not seen any proof of what you claim. I have heard it said bin stupid is already dead but that's hardly proof, just rumor talk. If you have proof post it please. You said...." After junior's second invasion we hardly ever heard any news of Afghanistan. It was as if our troops had all pulled back to Kabul and weren't even hunting for bin Laden."..... You think/believe lack of news as to what special forces may be doing is somehow proof that nothing is being done in the hunt for bin crazy ? Do you think that US forces should let the media in on what they may be doing secretly. You jest on this one ...right? You said...." All of this looks bad on junior in my opinion but I think the thing that makes him look the worst was not placing enough emphasis on terrorism before 9-11 to even order the Predator back into the hunt for bin Laden."..... Hold on a sec here. Sounds like you are attempting to place blame for 9/11 on President Bush instead of placing the blame where it belongs. ISLAM TERRORISTS. President Bill Clinton had 8 years to do something about bin stupid and many many dead Americans as reasons to do something yet I still do not place blame for 9/11 on Clinton on his failure to confront islam terrorism. I blame it on ISLAM TERRORISTS. And by the way it's President Bush not junior...your colors are showing through loud and clear. You asked...." Do you think junior has done all he could to get bin Laden? If you think he has please give examples of what he did.".... Do you need to be reminded that it was you who said that Prez Bush screwed up the hunt for Bin stupid and I asked you to explain some of your comments. I have never said that Prez Bush has done all he could do to get bin crazy because I have no way of knowing that nor do you. I listen to and read news stories same as you do but I like to use common sense when trying to decide what is or is not facts. Also I do not have the burden of having to think and speak within party lines. I do not belong to and never have belonged to any political parties so I am able to think on my own. :-) If Kerry would deal even more harshly with islam terrorists then get him in there...I just don't think he will. Liberman or maybe Edwards but not Kerry.
