<The Northern Alliance escorted UBL out of Tora Bora soon afterwards.>

I personally think there is a good chance that Osamma was allowed to escape in return for a bribe. We know for a fact that the Northern alliance did the bidding of whoever paid them the most. The Tora Bora fiasco was Rumsfel's fault but the buck isn't supposed to stop there. Junior picked the wrong man for the job just like all of the inept people he picked with the exception of Powell.

I hear that we knew the exact cave UBL was in.


You hear?

What's the source of that intelligence?

Got a link (credible news source preferably)?

I do agree that we never should have relied to the extent we did on the Northern Alliance and their fighters. Bad mistake.
