Bush Administration Missed Opportunities to Capture Top Al Qaeda Personnel in Pakistan

If you click on this entry's title, you can read a New York Times article on how Rumsfeld aborted a mission to capture top Al Qseda officers inside Pakistan. The officers were located in the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan, which is an area ruled by tribal chiefs. This is ironic, considering how Bush and his administration mocked the efforts of the Clinton administration to find and kill bin Laden.

You would think that the lessons of the last four years would have taught some humility to the Bushies, but you would be wrong. In order to learn humility, you have to have a level of self-awareness that is missing from Bush and his followers.
