I'm sorry please tell me what Bush has done to catch Bin ladan? If I robbed a bank and ran to afganastan I'd be cought within the month. BL is the most wanted man on the planet and his nowhere to be found. 200 billion and counting. Bush has just asked for another 70 billion toward the Iraq mess not toward Bin ladan! One more thing how can you mis place 380 tons of anything?
This thing is much bigger than Bin Laden brother....much bigger. If bin laden is killed, it changes nothing on a global scale.
And if you robbed a bank and ran to Afghanistan, you would most likely be captured by an Islamic tribe and beheaded for being an "infidel".
As far as money goes, yeah it is costing a lot....and also in lives of American troops. But, it has to be done man. If Clinton would have stepped up to the plate and went to bat when he had the chance, we would not be in this mess today.
And as far as the weapons go.....you obviously haven't seen the lates report in which they are now saying that those weapons were missing BEFORE the US troops ever got there. Kerry jumped the gun on that one big time. His foreign policy adviser said this morning "yeah, but we didn't have enough troops to get there in time to secure those weapons".
Also, 380 tons is 760,000 pounds. This equates to approximatley 20 semi trucks worth of material/equipment. When we were looking at going into Iraq, Colin Powell went to the UN and showed them satellite surveillance footage of a couple dozen semis crossing into Syria...wander what was on those trucks???
The Duelffer report that was just released also concluded that a tremendous amount of material/weapons was passed into Syria before we invaded. Could this be it???
