The Hunt for Osama bin Laden
Posted on 18. Jan, 2009 by admin in War
America is attacked on 9/11. The World Trade Centre twin towers in New York are hit by two hijacked planes and collapse. Americans are thunderstruck. After Pearl Harbour this is the second attack to take place in America. Bush announces that Al-Qa’ida is the masterminds behind the attack and they are holed out in the Tora Bora Mountains of Afghanistan. America will launch an attack against this terrorist outfit in mid November. In effect this told the terrorists, ‘hey guys you have attacked and killed thousands of Americans, we know where you are, but we are giving you two months to disappear’. That is exactly what has happened; when American and allied forces reached Tora Bora after the mountains had been attacked by tons of bombs being thrown at them by high flying bombers, what did they find? Nothing, the terrorists had departed. Any outfit that has planned an operation for years, do you really think they would sit around and wait for the American forces to come and overrun them, that too after two months! Till today the allied forces are stuck in Afghanistan. The terrorist outfits continue to flourish and are going from strength to strength. If this is not an epic failure I don’t know what is!
