Drunkard Bush**'s Biggest Failure - Bin Laden at large after 1461 days.
Personally, as fucked up as the Hurricane efforts are, I think that I have to assign the biggest failure of Drunkard Bush**'s biggest failure to be that he has squandered every opportunity to bring to justice the one man who ordered the attacks on 9/22/2001 - Osama Bin Laden.

At this point, it is far more likely that Osama Bin Laden will die of old age than that Drunkard Bush** will bring him to justice.

And the reason? A total failure of Bush to appoint good people, to properly give orders, to properly delegate responsibility, and a depraved indifference to the cause of bringing this man to justice.

We have heard since 1999 that Bush was a good delegator. That he would surround himself with the best people. That whatever his own deficiencies of knowledge, his people skills would pull him through. And that was all a lie. Whether he lied to himself too, I cannot say, but he has FUCKED UP the one most important job in "The War On Terror", and fixing this screwed up job is by now totally beyond his power.

1. Maybe it's not a failure.
What if ObL is captured. Think of the separation anxiety, the PNACers need bin Laden at large.

I do not know that this is happening but would not put it past them to somehow get information to bin Laden so that he stays a few steps ahead from his persuers, who are making a genuine effort to catch him.

2. I expected a huge invasion of Afghanistan.

I used to be an Army officer.

I was perplexed at the small number of troops sent there, but I wasn't privy to Bush's Iraq plans.

I expected a division or two to guard the Pakistan border, a division at the other end of Tora Bora, and a brigade sent up the valley to find Osama & Co.

What we got was some kind of lameass, halfass operation using rent-a-warlords. Unbelievable.

The failure to even make a good attempt to catch Bin Laden enrages me.
I remember when Clinton was shooting cruise missiles, trying to kill Bin laden, how the repugs screamed "wag the dog." WTF is wrong with these people????

OK - I know most repug followers are ignorant, stupid & brainwashed, but what about the rest? Only the fat cats are benefitting at all from this corrupt administration.

3. Bin Laden is dead. He died in Dec 2001. Google.
To think that this guy is still alive is ludicrous.

6. We have DNA from his relatives...
So any body, no matter how mangled, could be proven to be him.

If they had his body, they would have paraded it down the Washington Mall.

7. I disagree. They NEED the illusion of OBL.
Finding him, or his body is not going to happen.

They need a bogeyman.
