I still don't know why we didn't take Bob out sooner. He was out in the open every day for about a week. I'm concerned we have left a lot of the top criminals escape. Even if they haven't left the country, it will still take so time to track down. Let's hope we got a bunch in that bombing last week. Has anyone heard any update yet on that site? Have we secured it and starting looking for remains?

I haven't heard about excavation of the site.Bob was a useful idiot with his lies exposed to the Arab world. We weren't in control of his side of the river.We may or may not know where he is but notice the heat Syria is getting.

Re: I still don't know why we didn't take Bob out sooner.

I've given this a lot of thought and we took the airport and kept pressing, just as Basra fell in the south, and the lights went out in Baghdad, just as Iraq TV went off the air.

Each of these events alone are not devistating, but in concert prooved to be overwhelming.

The military defeates were combined with media and infrastructure defeats and proved to be the "tipping point" Rumsfeld talked about.

If I'm not misstaken, we took Al Gazeera (sp?) out of Kabul just as we were gaining the upper hand militarily. Again, each event alone isn't that bad, but together they blind an enemy about their situation.
