And then completely and utterly failing to complete the job by, a) taking our eye off the ball and invading Iraq, b) diverting much needed resources from the rebuilding of Afghanistan and mopping up the Taliban, c) yet another failure by Rumsnamara when he failed to capture bin Laden at Tora Bora after replacing George Tenet's plan with his own.
And how would you feel if, say, Mexico, without our permission, sent troops into Texas, shooting up communities in their pursuit of... oh... drug cartel members? And their American accomplices. And they decide exactly who's an American accomplice.
After all, they're evil, murderous drug dealers, right? Why would we possibly complain about their removing such threats in our own midst? And if a few innocent American civilians die in the crossfire, gosh, isn't that the price of getting rid of evil?
Exactly so, and the first different strategy that needs to be tried is to conclude that military solutions against civilian criminal gangs aren't working. Think outside the box of the myth of "unbeatable American military might", and focus on what works... internationally cooperative intelligence and POLICE work.
In case you hadn't noticed, that's where we and our allies have experienced the most success during the last 6 years.
No it wasn't... that's conspiracy claptrap. At most it was simply another nail in the Taliban's coffin.
Ahhh, if I had a nickle for every irony of the Bush League's criminal incompetence, I could retire in comfort.
And I suppose you agree with some here that Bush and the CIA carried out 9/11 just so we would have an excuse to attack Afghanistan and Iraq?
