It's tepid and reads somewhat begrudgingly, but it's a start. I don't think I misconstrued what you said, because that is the first time you said, what i said you weren't saying.

And what tells you working wiht bin Laden might not be a route to some peace? Your crystal ball? the same way that had Kerry winning in 04?
Different hypo, what if Musharraff gets overthrown and a Shi'a theocracy coems to power in Pakistan and "elects" bin Laden president. He comes out hiding to accept. Do we deal with him then? Do we let him come speak at the UN?
