I always thought when they initially had Osama cornered in Tora Bora they should have called in a special air strike.
Nuke the whole area. Kill everything in that area in one strike.

Osama would have never escaped to Pakistan.

That’s because we had a coked-up idiot in the White House then.

I respectfully disagree. I always hated the media's redefining of who our enemy is as being the singular person Bin Laden. It was always, "We took over much of Afghanistan. Killed many civilians. But Bush is a failure because he hasn't killed Bin Laden." For example, even with our fascination of the history of world war II most Americans can't today name the emperor of Japan because Americans for the most part weren't united against that singular person, but against Japan as a whole.

We should have defined our enemy as Afghanistan or the Taliban or Al Qaeda or Islam. We should have fought that group and killed as many people as it took to get them to surrender. If others next to them were killed because of miscommunication of our enemy's whereabouts, oh well. It happens in war. If they don't like it they shouldn't attack us -- especially killing thousands of our civilians.
