Let us not forget that Osama Bin Laden, 7 years later, is still out there. And that our resources should be focused on finding and killing him. And on finding and killing the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan. And, now that we’ve opened up Iraq for them, in Iraq.
We cannot afford to continue the policy of trying to further the neocon agenda at the expense of the pursuit of terrorists. We can’t afford to continue to manipulate intelligence and turn a blind eye to facts we don’t like. We can’t win the war against terrorists in that fashion. We must have our eye on the ball, and we must be focused, agile and ready to adjust to new circumstances.
We have dropped the ball. It’s time to pick it up, lodge some explosives in it, and hurl it straight between bin laden’s eyes.
