So let me get this straight....the previous administration TWICE took measures that insured Bin Laden's escape and continued existence as an Al Qaeda leader/figure head...and then virtually abandoned looking for him as public enemy #1.
Yo Vern
The was no fucking evidence that he was public enemy #1. However the perception that he was :
"The War on terror has given birth to the PATRIOT Act, renditions, secret camps, torture, assassination, illegal invasions foreign and domestic, the TSA a veritable wish list of government powers, created solely on the basis of fearing the Bearded One. "
.
Actually, Bin Laden was on the FBI's 10 most wanted...maybe he didn't make #1, so my statement is inaccurate.
But, I seem to recall the Shrub making all types of references to Wild West wanted posters, saying stuff like "Dead or Alive", "Smoke him out".. he sure as hell was #1 on The Shrub's mind here:
