4. Like the tool...which is on video...
Where Bush says we don't know where he is, we don't care, we're not concerned about him.

C.I.A. Closes Unit Focused on Capture of bin Laden

By MARK MAZZETTI
Published: July 4, 2006

WASHINGTON, July 3 — The Central Intelligence Agency has closed a unit that for a decade had the mission of hunting Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants, intelligence officials confirmed Monday.

The unit, known as Alec Station, was disbanded late last year and its analysts reassigned within the C.I.A. Counterterrorist Center, the officials said.

9. No, Karl

Obama successfully used the tools that Bush used that the Clinton Administration (via Richard Clarke, Sandy Berger, et. al) recommended Bush use PRIOR to 9/11. Bush didn't utilize any of those tools until AFTER 3000 people died on 09/11/01 and then he ended up basically giving up on finding Bin Laden circa 2002-2003 when he got bored of Afghanistan/Bin Laden and went on a tangent against Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Bush and Cheney also added their own "tools" to the toolbox, which just ended up making things a lot worse for our campaign against terrorism (i.e. Gitmo, torture).

10. What tools?
If there's one thing that annoys me, it's Republicans trying to take credit for things that they didn't do.

11. And/or blaming others for things that they weren't responsible for

15. You mean like the "tools" of ignoring a PDB just before 9/11?
Or the "tool" of ignoring President Clinton's advice that OBL was going to be a major source of problems?

Or the "tool" of going on vacation instead of manning up and doing some actual work?

Bite me, you asshole toad Rove.

17. Poor Turd Blossom. They failed to find him, end of story.
The "tools" didn't work, or else they would have peed their pants to take credit.

19. Too bad Bush didn't use the ones Clinton had in place for him
Rove has no shame - what tools? This operation was not planned by the Bush Administration.
