I heard this guy interviewed on Fox. He also blamed the cuts of the 1990's.
I saw the interview as well, and my jaw dropped when he became so dismissive of Tommy Franks..
NOW..I wasn't there, and I don't know what did or didn't happen, but this guy seemed so cocky, that he rubbed me the wrong way..
Perhaps CIA guys and Special Ops guys have a right to be cocky...especially since they are put in very dangerous situations...
But, I have always thought of Tora Bora as more of a dem "talking point" blame...and that Kerry, who used that as an example of Bush not "being tough enough"...was a trap.
Just like the mountainous terrain was a trap for our troops, using Tora Bora is a trap by the dems.
I think Tommy Franks would have been foolish to send troops into that place..I wish they would have had the bunker buster bombs that Kerry helped get voted DOWN in the Senate this last year to just flatten the area instead.
