Status: offline 		I am not that surprised by not finding him for 10 years at all. In those 10 years we had Iraq, and Afghanistan where the objectives weren't about 1 person. Bin Laden had a network of people in a very backward area that in some respects is made for hiding. In both of the wars we have been embroiled in our resources have been stretched as well as manpower.
I was as thrilled as anyone that he was finally taken out, but just how important is this one man? Hell, the FBI can't find Whitey Bulger and he is an American without the resources of a Bin Laden, or in any country that is as desolate as Afghanistan or as complicit in his hiding as Pakistan seems to be.
I don't see it as a Bush vs. Obama difference, Bush's failing presidency distracted him as did the epic financial failures of our banking system. Obama came in under the worst of economic times since the depression, had he not paid more attention to the economy and the 2 wars that were left, his standing in my eyes would have diminished greatly. Thrilled he is gone, but the amount of time it took to me, is irrelevent.

Nope, it is not just you who wonders, for I do too, but all I can say in answer, was OBL served a political purpose and his final purpose was boosting a flagging presidents political career.

But RO is quite correct, some people do not sell out there principles for money, for there is still some integrity left in this modern world and besides OBL I believe had taken on some kind of folk hero status for being a rebel up against what many over there see as the oppressor.

Perhaps OBL was seen as a modern day Saladin, seeing as it was Bush who mentioned crusade.


Yeah, he was a real fucking hero.

How about if I buy you a plane ticket and you can visit all the families that this coward devastated and explain to them how he was just rebelling against their oppression.



why skew and dramatize the post?

Dont you have a valid point to make that you have to stoop to bullshit and drama queen hyperbole to get an emotional response rather than a thought out response?

That is really lame you know and shows your inadequcies.

Anyway I do not see where anyone said he was a hero to us.  I continue to point that people who ant people murdered without trial are psychopaths and there seems to be a lot of them now days.

If he was a hero to his own people he is now a martyr to them.  murdered by the fair and just us of a long arm of the uk.   Nice move ohaha!

Thats a direct lie, Bush didnt quit looking for him, he just didnt obsess over him

Im guessing that asking for the "correct"  context that his quotes were taken from would be easy for you to prove no?

Well, it is George W. and it is hard for me to defend him, but the Afghanistan Operations started in October 2001 and the Iraq war started in March of 2003.
