Why has the hunt for Bin Ladden become 2nd priority when HE was the cause of 9/11?
Why do we keep pouring money into a country that does not want us there?
Why did we elect a president who cannot run a business let alone a country?
anyone?

People keep crying "where are the WMD's". WMD's were the primary public face put on the invasion of Iraq. WMD's were always only a single reason from a long list of reasons to invade Iraq. To me the primary reason was...forward thinking...strategic positioning...among several other important reasons.
After 9/11 war was declared upon international terrorism. Some in the administration said that the war could last as long as 10 years and others said as long as 30 years. Iraq is an extension of the war on terrorism.
Everyone becries that Saddam did not have anything to do with al Qaeda...there is some evidence that indicates otherwise...but it is immaterial. The war was declared on international terrorism and it is an undisputed fact that Saddam contributed to the support of several diffierent terrorist orgs in Palestine.
People keep crying "where is Bin Landen"..."why have we given up on the search for Bin Laden"..."why did we invade another country...taking resources away from the hunt for Bin Laden and the al Qaeda"?
Authorities knew the area that the Olympic Bomber was in and one of the most massive manhunts in our history was launched. The bomber was not found over a five year, or more, period of time. He was found by accident. There was a search for the UNI Bomber for what period...13 years or so. He was caught when his brother turned him in. The intel believe they know the general area that Bin Landen is hidding out...some of the most rugged terrain in the world...run by tribal leaders...warlords...and the criminal element...in a soveriegn nation. If all of the troops were pulled out of Iraq and were ordered to find Bin Laden this may not help in the capture of Bin Laden. Bin Laden will probably eventually be found or turned in...but it is really immaterial.
Bin Laden as an individual...is only important as a symbol...it is his org that is of true importance. We have been slowly but surely disrrupting the financial support...the communications...the arresting of and killing of leaders...and in general disrrupting the abilitity for the various cells around the world to act and this is an ongoing phase of the war on terrorism.
Ultimately we do not care if the people of Iraq want us there or not. We are there to serve what is percieved to be in the best interests of the United States...in our ongoing war against international terrorism. When it is percieved to no longer be in our best interests we will withdraw...but historically whenever the US introduces troops into an area of the world they do not normally withdraw...although there have been a few occasions where there has been a withdrawal.
If North Korea cannot be talked down...as is the current effort...they will be taken down...and the same applies to Iran.
Your will have to ask those that voted for the President why they voted for him and ask those that will vote for him again.
Anymore questions??
