This is the 2nd guy I have heard claim this. The other was a CIA operative who spoke at an event and also has a book. The stories are pretty similar.
I guess Bush and crew figured without a bad guy to chase, the war would be short, so let Bin Laden out there so we can expand the war.

One reason why I could never take orders - if I had the bad guy in sight - I would take em out!

Is it true? The point is that our trust in our government since George W. Bush took office is just rock bottom.

And our trust in lowest rated Congress in the history of the nation is also at an all time low.

Yes, two bad outcomes. How can we come together? How do we face this massive challenge, together?
