>>Though I do think that a more concerted effort to catch Bin Laden and Zawahiri would have been useful. But no, we had to go after the paper tiger in Iraq. I think that argument is massively over played from the left (at least as a matter of reality and logic, it might work as a matter of rhetoric and politics). There was never any real significant lessening of the effort in Afghanistan.<< Tim - You missed my point, apparently, and I don't see how repeating it will help. But if you will recall, in the months following 9/11, Bush repeatedly said "we will not rest" until Bin Laden is killed or captured. After invading Iraq, he responded to a question about how the hunt for Bin Laden was going by saying, "I don't know. It's not a priority." You can go ahead and spin that any way that makes you feel better, but I think it's pretty clear what that means. - Allen
