The liberal media is trying to label the War on Terror as a failure because Bin Laden hasn't been captured. I disagree. I would rather DESTORY HIS NETWORK. He is one man and getting rid of one man isn't going to end terrorism. I sometimes feel OBL is one of many terrorist leaders. But when our nation was attacked, we needed a hated symbol against terrorism. I would rather see the focus on getting his NETWORK-camps, weapons, and men than putting an expensive hunt on ONE MAN.

k, I could not agree with you more!! I've had arguments with people at work that say they feel we should have never gone to war in Iraq until we captured Bin Laden.
I don't understand what difference that would make. I believe they are a bit more organized than what a lot of people think.

k, I can sincerely say that I finally agree with you on something. Most of your posts seem to blow minute details into epic proportions, but I believe you have nailed this one on the head. Please, have the honors of first-toke on the peace pipe in our moment of common thought without any "you're completely wrong" comments...... andy

Spend more time destroying every trace of Bin Laden's machinery. Once Nazi Germany was defeated, it didn't matter if Hitler committed suicide or not. Let me make a prediction right here: one country in South Asia is getting ignored. Much US blood may be spilt on that nation. that nation is Pakistan. Al-Queda is very active along Afghan border. Pakistan is more of a concern than Afghanistan because it has 150 million plus people and could start a war with Hindu India where 1 billion people live.

I am not saying I don't want OBL captured. I would love to see him captured. I just don't think it should be TOP PRIORITY! Get rid of the network! The machinery of terrorism. The funding of terrorism. I would rather see the entire network wiped out than seeing one man captured and the network continuing.

Exactly. Additionally -- the moderate Muslims need to wipe out the ideology of Militant Islam that is being taught by some of their clerics and in some of their schools/mosques.
Ditto.
