During the campaign, the democrat mantra was:
“We must get Bin Laden. Bush has failed to get Bin Laden.”
Now the democrats have adopted the republican position that AQ has been contained. Except the democrats are using it as an excuse for their indecision rather than as a comment on progress.

McGeneral called him out, Bam was not happy. It must be pretty bad for McCrystal to criticize Bam in public. Either McCrystal goofed badly (unlikely) or Bam/Gates/etal were ignoring the issues.
But Bam has just not had enough time to get to this issue ... too busy flying to Copenhagen to make speeches about the greatness of he and Michelle and Chicago.
Not sure where he takes this. How can he agree that McCrystal is correct now and move forward with Surge #2?
