Thread Name: Will Bush Be Blamed?
Subject: RE: Will Bush Be Blamed?
The CIA agent who ran the American operation in Afghanistan, and who was Bin Laden's handler, was interviewed by Dan Rather last nite--he said that, while he is evil, and there is every justification for getting rid of him, Bin Laden isn't the mastermind that he is portrayed as being--He said that, as the Taliban have denied BL's involvement, it will be easy to act against them, as long as BL is the guilty party, but he is skeptical that BL is the final answer--He also said, a bit obliquely, that we should remember that "if you strike at the King, you have to kill him."--
