I guess they have to do something to boost 0bama’s ratings. This was already covered on 60 minutes.

Let's go back a little further....BEFORE 9-11....When Bubba turned down Osama on a platter.

I'll always blame Bubba's inaction for 9-11.

“...unquestionably...”

Whenever I read something that uses phrases such as unquestionably, without a doubt, science is settled, etc., without any details or proof, I tend to think the opposite. Maybe it’s true but then maybe it’s not.

They want this story to cover up the Globull Warming SCAM coverage.

Tiger Wood's puttering isn't helping either.

The MSM and Democrats are doing everything they can to distract the public from Climategate.

The Friends report that this will be the theme of Barry’s big “photo op” speech on Tuesday. Gee, good thing Lurch released this just in time.

“It says that a review of existing literature, unclassified government records and interviews with central participants “removes any lingering doubts and makes it clear that Osama bin Laden was within our grasp at Tora Bora.”
What a leap from within our grasp,maybe you catch him,maybe you don’t to unquestionably within our grasp. Just a little journalistic license.
The report also does not say Bush is to blame directly but indirectly as its people he chose made the wrong decision.
Whats not addressed in the article of course is at what cost? Going into those mountains and caves would have cost us how many men? Was that(most probably) part of the calculation?

[Bin Laden was ‘within our grasp’]

Killing or capturing Bin Laden is going to same success as the death of John Gotti.

This is just a transparent attempt to keep Zero’s luntatic base neck deep in BDS.

Look for Zero to use this in his speech Tuesday night to explain why he’s sending more troops.

Zero is such a little girl.

military leaders made the crucial and costly decision....

And Americans did the same when they elected Obama. Unfortunately, our time machine is broken so we need to deal with the present not the past.

I'm serious (or series) about this: ASK GERALDO!  He was there when a cease fire was brokered between the Northern Alliance and the Taliban.  Geraldo always said this was a big mistake and the decision allowed bin Laden to walk across the mountains.  This is OLD news - politically motivated.

I remember this at the time it happened

It seems a CENTCOM lawyer was involved in advising CINCCENT, who took the legal advice to call off the strike, to avoid killing osama’s family

It seems too many of our military spent too much time watching Tom Clancy’s “Clear and Present Danger”

Purely political statement designed to allow the Bam to blame Bush. Wouldn’t be surprised if military didn’t go after him as it would have cost the lives of many innocent cililians.

When was the last video of Osama- not his voice , but a confirmed video of OBL walking around? I'm not so sure he's not six feet under, with his virgins.

If the media is so sure we missed him, surely there's evidence of where he is?

Senator Kerry’s hatchet job to try to innoculate OBama and his surge. Kerry KNOWS how many troops the Russians lost in numerous traps at Tora Bora and so did General Tommy Franks. Imagine the left’s outrage if we had sent troops right into the trap known as Tora Bora and lost hundreds. Senator Kerry apparently never read General Frank’s book.

Colonel Shestov, who spearheaded Russian attacks on Tora Bora during the Afghan conflict in the 80s, fears a bloodbath. He said: “I have fought my way into Tora Bora in bloody battles on three separate occasions, yet no one has approached me or my comrades - the people who, more than anyone know what demons lurk there.

“If the Western forces operate at Tora Bora the way it is presented in the media, they will get into enormous trouble with zero results.

They are just trying to paint over the rotten wood of the Obama administration.

Look where this report came from. Staff members for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s Democratic majority prepared the report at the request of the chairman, Sen. John Kerry,

KMA John Effin you sorry sack of doo.
