I always thought we should go after bin Laden. To me it didn't matter if he was in Afghan, Iraq, Iran or even Moscow. I was one of those 95%+ that was behind Bush on the days after 9/11 100%. I remember thinking who the hell are these other 5%? Bush is going to go get this guy, we need to go get this guy. But Bush didn't really focus on Afghan or OBL that much. Then when he started talking and trying to link Iraq to OBL and committed a much larger force to that task instead of taking out the people responsible for the 9/11 attacks he lost me. The way he's handled Iraq has been proved to me he's one of the worst POTUS we ever had- and we've had some real losers in the oval office.

Now, 8 years later, we're going to go back and committing more troops to Afghan. Of course OBL likely isn't there anymore. Hopefully the new President in Pakistan will actually help us find him.
