Ted ZanidakisPlease recall that shortly after the tragedy of 9/11 we went into a War-footing in Afghanistan
and in pretty quick time we rid this country of the Taliban and Al Queda. These band of
warring terrorists were no match for our military might. We were victorious in just a few
months (a feat that the Russians with all their might, could not achieve for many years).
We freed 25 Million people and enabled them to set up a Government. An election took
place which chose the current President, Mr Karhzid. We started deploying our troops
as the UN (or NATO) troops took over to safeguard the people of Afganistan. And unfort-
unately, the UN (or NATO) troops cannot keep the peace.
As for Osama....Mr Clinton had a least four opportunities to get him throughout the
late 1990's; when, he very visible. After 9/11 he was no longer visible, and has been
in deep seclusion, wherever. To blame the current administration for failing to get him
is the height of hypocrisy.
But, don't you worry, Osama and his 2nd in command, Zahawari, are dying a slow (hopefully
tortuous) death. Just compare the recent videos of either of them with the pictures of them
just a few years ago. Their faces are gaunt, their eyes look lifeless, and their facial hairs
have the look of dying men. Fate will get them before we do.
