What I'd like to know is why did it take 9/11 for the full weight of the U.S. military to be thrown against Bin Laden?

Why wasn't the Cole attack used to justify an all-out assault on Bin Laden instead of waiting for something larger to happen? Bush should have made this priority #1 when he took office.

I agree that a war of retaliation against terrorism should have been started long ago.

Get a grip my friend, can you imagine GWB issuing an order to kill a SUSPECTED terrorist before 9/11?

The RATS would be treating GWB like they did Slobo

Bush won a contested election. People did not have enough faith in him to trust him on something like that. Besides people were still lost in the fog of the Clinton years. No one expected terrorism to hit us on our own soil.

So who did you vote for in 2000?

Obviously GW is not enough of a conservative for you.

Let me guess your candidate's first name was Pat?
