While we are Obama bashing, I would like to bring our thoughts back to September 20, 2001. On that day, our President said the following things in a joint session of Congress:
Quote:
The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself.
The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends. It is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them.
....
From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.

When we were tracking bin Laden and his followers through Afghanistan, Brit Hume announced on television that it was ludicrous to believe that they had traveled anywhere but to Pakistan.
Years later, when Bill O'Reilly interviewed Presidential nominee, Barak Obama, he asked if the future President was aware that Osama bin Laden was holed up in Islamabad. After the typical O'Reilly badgering, Barak Obama admitted such knowledge.
Yes, we can blame President Clinton for not doing enough before 9/11 and we can blame President Obama for not doing enough since 2009, but it seems to me that if Brit Hume, Bill O'Reilly, and Barak Obama knew that Osama bin Laden and his forces were being harbored by the Pakistani government, at least somebody in Washington should have also been aware (bin Aware?). It is not just Congress that does nothing. It is not just Democrats.
