It's because the US troops didn't actually land in Afghanistan until 2 months after war was declared. That gives Osama plenty of time to escape.

Besides, Afghanistan was merely a ploy. They needed to look serious about getting him, but really they didn't care. Besides, a republican (Reagan) taught Osama and co. how to fight. They even gave the Taliban money to fight the "reds".

The real goal was Iraq; always was, always will be. That's why you're "staying the course", or whatever, and not doing the logical thing by escaping while there's hope.

Who's fault is it? The republicans on two fronts; teaching the Taliban to fight (1982) and by letting their leader escape (2002). Al Bush wanted was to help Halliburton along in it's quest for profit. And that quest lead the cowboys straight into Iraq.
