My first indication that something had gone terribly wrong was when the father of a Captain in 10th Mountain said his son and other Captains were talking about quitting the Army due to Tora Bora. As facts leaked out, Administration manipulation forced 10th Mountain to violate good tactical strategy - thereby contributing to bin Laden's escape. Tora Bora was a disaster for the American military. Obviously. The army did not achieve their objective AND its tactics were subverted by administration micromanagement.

Based upon responses in this thread, I expect many to deny all this without first learning facts. That would be a classical emotional response. This thread is chock full of emotional responses. Facts remain that bin Laden could not and would not be captured in Tora Bora due to '85% of all problems directly traceable to top management' - the George Jr administration.
