Point: As recently as October 7, in a presidential debate, Mr Obama said: "We will kill bin Laden. We will crush al Qaeda. That has to be our biggest national security priority."
Counterpoint: Barack Obama last night suggested that removing Osama bin Laden from the battlefield was no longer essential and that America's security goals could be achieved by merely keeping al-Qaeda "on the run". "My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him," he said. "But if we have so tightened the noose that he's in a cave somewhere and can't even communicate with his operatives then we will meet our goal of protecting America."

This hasn't been a priority for years.
Perhaps. But the pinkos were shedding crocodile tears galore over this, and making political hay out of it, shamelessly. Now it's down memory hole. Orwell rulz!
