"WILL NO ONE RID ME OF THIS MEDDLESOME TERRORIST?"
honestly i dont know which fox network you people are watching. Fox isn't really a tool of the republican party so much as the news channel of "Whos the next American Idol!!" and "Famous Celebrity videos!" and just a teeny bit of news. Colonel Hunt has always seemed to me to be a bit bloodthirsty, he wants total war on terrorists and as such he gets into trouble with Republicans because he doesn't follow Republican talking points. A loose cannon, but for now, I guess Fox likes him. That could certainly change.
But, I really think I believe him in this case, and the reason for that is, as George Bush said to Fred Barnes, and which Barnes then repeated to Fox:
"Well, he said, look, you can send 100,000 special forces, that’s the figure he used, to the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan and hunt him down, but he just said that’s not a top priority use of American resources. His vision of a war on terror is one that involves intelligence to find out from people, to get tips, to follow them up and break up plots to kill Americans before they occur. That’s what happened recently in that case of the planes that were to be blown up by terrorists, we think coming from England, and that’s the top priority. He says, you know, getting Osama bin Laden is a low priority compared to that."
That was last year, and I really don't think anything has changed. Catching Osama bin Laden is a low priority for this administration.
