Bin Laden Escaped at Tora Bora and Bush is a Liar

In a criticism long overdue, John Kerry is calling Bush on the fact that they outsourced the Afgan war and let Bin Laden escape at Tora Bora. There is nothing new in this allegation.

Bush today in Colorado:

Now my opponent is throwing out the wild claim that he knows where bin Laden was in the fall of 2001, and that our military passed up the chance to get him in Tora Bora. This is an unjustified criticism of our military commanders in the field.

Well, here is how the story was reported in 2002:
