ORIGINAL: michaelOfGeorgia maybe it's just me, but i think the reason America is there has strayed a long way from the original reason America went there in the first place. right now, it's more of a political ploy rather than finding Bin Laden. You know, I generally stay out of political threads. And I will not take sides here. But I just wanted to simply point out the simple fact that Bin Laden wasn't even "the original reason America went there in the first place". Remember? We went there because the White House, Pentagon, and CIA convinced Congress (and arguably the majority of Americans) that Sadam had "weapons of mass destruction". Bin Laden had absolutely nothing to do with it (originally). It wasn't until it was apparent that WoMDs would not be found that the government then began linking Bin Laden to Iraq. 15. Accordingly, the presentation of information to Congress and the general public through deceit, craft, trickery, dishonest means, and fraudulent representations, including lies, half-truths, material omissions, and statements made with reckless indifference to their truth or falsity, while knowing and intending that such fraudulent representations would influence Congress' decisions regarding authorization to use military force and funding for military action, constitutes interfering with, obstructing, impairing, and defeating a lawful government function of a department of the United States within the meaning of Section 371.
