"Al-Qaeda has had safe haven in Pakistan since 2002..."

I'm thinking they were there long before 2002. Probably back as far as....say, 1992.

Perhaps we could see what the President back in '92 knows. I wonder what he was doing.

Besides chubby interns, that is!

That would be George HW Bush. Impeached ex-president Clinton did not take office until 1993 and in those days, what is now called Al-Qaeda were the Afghan "Freedom Fighters".

Maybe someone can also explain to me why Osama Bin Laden is considered the baddest guy when he is only a spoiled rich kid throwing his family's money at the truly dangerous Ayman Zawahiri in an attempt to be cool.

Mission Accomplished in Afghanistan == Ayman Zawahiri has assumed room temperature.
