One of the things John Kerry wants to do differently in the war on terror is to treat the war on terror as a "legal issue". That is exactly how Bill Cinton treated Al Qaida and UBL. And it didn't work.
From NBC News. The question for the 9/11 commission: If the CIA was able to get that close to bin Laden before 9/11, why wasn’t he captured or killed? The videotape has remained secret until now.
As the 9/11 commission investigates what Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush might have done to prevent the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, one piece of evidence the commission will examine is a videotape secretly recorded by a CIA plane high above Afghanistan. The tape shows a man believed to Osama bin Laden walking at a known al-Qaida camp.
The most recent drone photos of UBL was from May of 2000. Before Bush took office. Despite the fact that evidence overwhelmingly shows Al Qaiada and UBL were responsible for the WTC 1993 bombing, the USS Cole, and our embassys Clinton did not act.
What I find even more disturbing is that the asshats over at DU are quick to write it off as a fluke, and turn around and blame BUSH for it.
Even though past history has proven that law enforcement techniques have not worked in the war on terrorism, libs still want to abandon the military avenue and return to the appeasement Keystone Cops technique perfected by Klinton.
wow what you dont mention brave soul is that this video was taken by an unarmed predator, and even if it was UBL it'd take 5-8 hours to get a bomb on site at the time. And except for the armed predators now, it would still take about as long to get a bomb on site if this happened again.

One time he had a plan to kill osama, only to be lost on the golf course unable to give the command until it was too late as cronicled in the book, Dereliction of Duty.
