From Instapundit:And the big question is, what would today's critics have had Bush do back then? What if Bush had invaded Afghanistan in February of 2001, going after Bin Laden in a serious way? He would have gotten the same kind of criticism he's getting now -- from many of the same people who are accusing him of not being preemptive enough against Bin Laden -- that he's getting from Democrats for going after Saddam. And such an attack probably wouldn't have stopped the 9/11 attacks, which were outside-Afghanistan efforts. And if the 9/11 attacks had happened anyway, those people would be blaming Bush's targeting of Bin Laden for "triggering" the 9/11 attacks.
You want a revolution in antiterrorism? Fine. We'd all love to see the plan.
Where is it?
Matt's Chat
Glenn, they don't have a plan. That's their problem with just about everything that they can't find a way to tax.Mark's Remarks
Glenn is as usual, right on. He tells it like it is. He comes from a great bloodline of professors, as I had his brother Jon as a prof in college, and they are great historians and academicians. The libs don't have a plan. We saw their plan. It included letting bin Laden slip away four times from Sudan's offer, it included letting him go to Afghanistan, and it included doing nothing but issuing warants. 9/11 changed that. Bush has seen it....why hasn't Kerry and Co.?
