Kerry may have taken the weight of probability a step too far by accusing Bush, in essence, of letting bin Laden get away.
"Unfortunately, he escaped in the mountains of Tora Bora," the Democrat said. "We had him surrounded. But we didn't use American forces, the best trained in the world, to go kill him. The president relied on Afghan warlords, and he outsourced that job, too."
There has been no definitive conclusion bin Laden was in the caves of Tora Bora in December 2001 when US and Afghan troops surrounded the complex.
