Well:
Bin Laden got away at Tora Bora.
The Taliban escaped to Pakistan and continue to wreak havoc.
Mullah Omar is still on the loose.
We have more troops in Afghanistan, and more troops fighting now than ever before in Afghanistan.
It's difficult for me to blame that all on Afghan peasants.
Got to be some responsibility in there somewhere.
Of course, it doesn't have much to do with the title of this thread: GOP 2012
It wouldn't be true OSA without a little "thread-drift".
