Christopher Hitchens: The flaw in Seymour Hersh's theory.

Many who oppose Bush's anti terrorist policies would have supported them if he had gone after bin Laden and his organization and left the status quo alone in Iraq. I reluctantly supported the initial invasion of Afghanistan, though I had reservations about Bush and crew's ability to handle it. I had a bad taste in my mouth from Bush allowing the bin Laden family to leave America just as fast as they could be hustled out. I also knew that Afgh. had already thwarted Russian efforts and I figured that it probably could never be truly pacified. Just knock them out and get out, was my thinking. I still wonder why they didn't commit to a continued all-out effort there, instead of moving 'most everything to Iraq.
