“CIA intelligence had indicated that bin Laden and the al-Qaeda leadership were trapped in the caves early in the battle, and Berntsen had wanted to send less than 1,000 American Army Rangers to eliminate them, which he believed would have ended the War on Terror very quickly. However, the request was turned down by the Bush administration, which had argued that the Pakistanis would capture bin Laden if he attempted to flee into Pakistan.”
Although I'm sure that's true, it was not my point. Biden is a known plagiarizer from way back. He stole the "time of our choosing" language from Bush without attribution as usual for Biden, who always tries to portray himself as a tough guy.
