KARL ROVE: "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war. Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding to our attackers."
When was it declared that the invasion of Iraq was to capture Osama bin Laden?
History: When Saddam/Iraq invaded Kuwait, Osama asked the Saudis to let him and his holy warriors oust Saddam/Iraq from Kuwait. However, the Saudis told him no and paid US to kick Saddam/Iraq out of Kuwait which is what precipitated Osama's problem with his birth country.
In the current conflict with Iraq, which is a continuation of the conflict beginning with their invasion of Kuwait, it was reasonable to believe that Iraq had WMDs. While there is no love lost between Osama and Saddam, Iraq was a major al-Qaida enabler. Al-Qaida, nutjob dictator and WMDs is not a good mix.
It is my understanding intelligence has always believed Osama is somewhere in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Osama Bin Laden has been reported dead, and him being alive is highly unlikely in any case. This is all rather reminiscient of how the citizens of the USA knew more about what went on in the USSR than Soviet citizens.
