Just a quick reminder on where the hunt for Osama Bin Laden stood prior to Democrats taking control of Congress in January 2007 and Barack Obama’s election in 2008.

Interestingly enough. the decision to shut down the CIA task force assigned to Bin Laden came more than four years after President Bush admitted not knowing where the terror mastermind was hiding and said, “I truly am not that concerned about him” on March 13, 2002.

It is really strange that Bush didn’t know where Bin Laden was located considering that he could have accepted a 2001 offer by the Taliban to turn over Bin Laden to the United States.

Credit George W. Bush all you want for this achievement. Just understand it flies in the face of ample evidence to the contrary.

interesting.
