French soldiers in Afghanistan had Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in their crosshairs -- twice -- but did not receive the order from their US commander to open fire, a French documentary reported.
Four French soldiers assigned to a 200-strong special forces unit in Afghanistan under US military control all confirmed -- "at different times and in different places" -- that they could have killed bin Laden but that the order to shoot was not forthcoming, the report claims.
I know that this is a favorite with conspiracy theorists but I have to say that I totally believe that Bush did not want to kill or capture Osama despite his rhetoric to the contrary.
I mean does anybody really think Bush would have been elected to a second term if Bin Laden had been captured at Tora Bora? No damn way!
Bush needs his boogeyman to keep the population to scared to question his grab for power. But those days are over.
