Tell that to the thousands of Marines in Afghanistan. Tell that to one of the members of my chapter's advisor panel that just got back from a tour of duty in Afghanistan.
Catching Bin Ladin is not all that important anyhow. He's just a leader of a movement that will survive without him. What we're doing now in Afghanistan is far more important. We're trying to bring about some sort of civilized way of life for those people. One where the suicide bomber mentality does not fester.
I don't think militarily we can just go and 'blow up' Al Quaeda.
I do think we can beat them in a war of ideas and ideals though.

I'll answer both of your post with this one.
That's not what I'm saying. I know we're going after him. I just think that giving him our FULL attention would have given him to us a long time ago. As most people have been saying that Saddam is far down teh list of people who are threats to our country.
We'll agree to disagree about if he had them or not. Personally I don't think he had the ability to grab them w/o us knowing and since we've been bombing him for the past few years, he was bottled up. Now, us going to match up with him again was going to come later on because I believe he was going to get the gonads to actually CHALLENGE us down the road, but he was just a small mini-midget dictator who can only bully his people. His army didn't even belong on the same field as most urban gangs.
Saddam wasn't a HUGE threat to us.
