Why is it ok for the Republicans here to bitch about the Democrats, the conservatives to bitch about the liberals, but when a libertarian/moderate/whatever gs chooses to align with decides to question Republicans or convervatives suddenly he needs to shut up and help his community, he needs to go out and do something?
Back on topic I'd like to point out that after 9/11 Bush repeatedly stated that catching Osama was priority #1 on his list, that he wouldn't rest until it was accomplished. Back then I thought it was noble but counterproductive; his capture wouldn't cripple Al Queda like Saddam's capture toppled the regime. The bottom line, however, is that he promised something and five years later he's actually said "I truly am not that concerned about him."

And yes, I read the rest of the press release. I understand what he's saying and I actually agree that he was more of a threat when he had a stronger hold over the country but that doesn't mean Bush should be breaking his promises. He used that fracking mantra of "get the evildoers!" to rally the public to his cause and now wants us to forget about the war he failed to succeed in because he was too gung ho about starting another one.
