I still wonder out loud what the hell Bush had in mind to just let Al Qaeda and the Taliban fester without any real attempt to kill them for seven plus years.
Wasn't the idea from day one to get the people who attacked us on 9/11 ?

Agreed. It boggles my mind that it took this country 8 years to figure out that a comprehensive multi-dimensional strategy was necessary to combat Al Qaeda-and that Iraq had nothing to do with it.

Too many people in this country are so ignorant they thought that as long as we are bombing somebody (hint: Iraq) that we were being effective against Al Qaeda.

The question as to whether or not Obama would be tough has been answered. Agreed. The first US president ever to be completely focused on Al Qaeda and Bin Laden.
