Tommy Franks on Tora Bora

Kat points us to an OpEd written by Tommy Franks in todays New York Times.

He addresses the often made comments by Kerry and his Krew regarding Tora Bora and many other half truths/lies about the GWoT.

Here's a teaser:

On more than one occasion, Senator Kerry has referred to the fight at Tora Bora in Afghanistan during late 2001 as a missed opportunity for America. He claims that our forces had Osama bin Laden cornered and allowed him to escape. How did it happen? According to Mr. Kerry, we "outsourced" the job to Afghan warlords. As commander of the allied forces in the Middle East, I was responsible for the operation at Tora Bora, and I can tell you that the senator's understanding of events doesn't square with reality.

I much prefer my information from the source, and you don't get a better source than Tommy Franks regarding the GWoT.

I have been a bit miffed that the Administration has let this statement from Kerry ride so many times....
