MNice: I can tell by your post you have not been to Aghanistan. The culture there has a code called Pashtun Walli. As long as a traveler has not commited any "sin" against the village, then he is afforded, protection, shelter, food and water when requested. If a "sin" is committed then there is bedal (sp?). So yes, because of the Afghan culture OBL could exploit Pashtun Walli to get away or bribe his way. This culutre has nothing to do with GWB. GWB gave the leadership to go after OBL. BHO made a "decision" already made by GWB so BHO does not get a "gold star" for something GWB started the correct direction. WJC was spineless to kill OBL. If you do not know the story behind the ALAM strikes during WJC administration, then research it. The Aghan are corrupt, I know from first hand. It is what you deal with in a 3rd world country. If you see any 3rd world country from the POV of American, then you are not seeing it correctly. I was in Afghanistan in the mid-2000's. So calling GWB spineless because of the Afghan culture is like blaming the pig for the cow not giving enough milk.
