Ayman al-Zawahiri, also released a videotape last month, which aired on the third anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The fact that both of al Qaeda's leaders have recently had the leisure to make videotaped statements suggest that they are feeling secure, wherever it is that they are hiding. "He said this raised an important question, namely whether Senator Kerry was correct when he said on Friday, "I regret that when George Bush had the opportunity in Afghanistan at Tora Bora he didn't choose to use American forces to hunt down Osama bin Laden?" The preponderance of evidence indicates that al Qeada's leader was indeed at Tora Bora, and there is no disputing the fact the Tora Bora battle was "outsourced" to Afghan warlords of questionable competence and loyalty, as Senator Kerry has repeatedly charged." franklinjefferson@hotmail.com (FranklinJefferson) wrote in message news:<735b8de2.0410300651.6df55402@posting.google.com>... > Uncle Samuel <Stars@Stripes.USA> wrote: > > FranklinJefferson wrote: > >> if the argument is that Bush at least is tough on terrorism... > Bush > >> really dropped the ball on terrorism.
