We have even more political cover to do so again, right now.
I do not think that it is a barrier right now. I understand the SOB moved out of the mosque this morning due to fears that we will come in and is hiding in some other religious shrine or something.
We are going to get him and we have adequate people and resources to do it.
It is, as I said, hand to hand combat that is going to be very costly.
I see the media is already hyperventilating!
They do not understand.
Yes, I agree, that with knowledge of the present, we can safely say that we should have gone after this guy regardless of his presence in a Mosque, but at the time it was thought that he would not be a major problem. His supporters are limited to the poor and ill educated rabble. he did not have any major political support and as I understand, he still does not.
These are the dead enders.
