The hunt for him, if ever there really was one, was half-hearted and called off pretty early in war.

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."  G.W. Bush, 3/13/02.

“It’s not our priority” really?! Huh!! The war objective of your invasion is not your priority?

What is your priority?

It was the responsibility, and you’d think they would have known it was their responsibility, of anyone amongst the White House Press Corpses to ask Bush:

When exactly did Bin laden become “not our priority” considering he was the sole reason you told everybody on Earth  you invaded Afghanistan?

And what is your new priority in Afghanistan that justifies a continued invasion and occupation?

Building any pipelines these days?

Anybody in your family making money from “defense” contracts?

I never heard a single such question asked of Bush and minions.

Maybe Jeff Gannon, Bush’s White House-boy pseudo-named sodomite infil-traitor into the WHPC was the only guy doing his job?

 

October 2003 is the earliest date I can find of NATO troops deploying in Afghanistan; long after Bush aborted his original war motive and objective; catching Bin laden. But what was NATO’s mission and how does that mission satisfy the legal requirements set forth in the NATO charter?

 

While the USA certainly had the sympathies of the world following 9/11, did the USA really have the legal case to invade, and remove by military force, a sovereign government and replace it with their own version?

Is that what NATO is about?
