The Army's highest-ranking officer said Friday that he was unsure whether the U.S. military would capture or kill Osama bin Laden, adding, "I don't know that it's all that important, frankly."
"So we get him, and then what?" asked Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, the outgoing Army chief of staff, at a Rotary Club of Fort Worth luncheon. "There's a temporary feeling of goodness, but in the long run, we may make him bigger than he is today.
"He's hiding, and he knows we're looking for him. We know he's not particularly effective. I'm not sure there's that great of a return" on capturing or killing bin Laden.
I think the families who lost loved ones in the September 11, 2001 attacks, might think differently.
There's something very, very wrong when the government is fighting terrorists by monitoring the e-mail and phone calls of American citizens, but doesn't think that getting the person who ordered the worst attack on American soil is that important. And it's even more wrong when there are still people who think this somehow makes sense.
