2. When Bush caved to Bin Ladens demand in 2003 and "Cut and ran" from Saudi Arabia
The following text is a fatwa, or declaration of war, by Osama bin Laden first published in Al Quds Al Arabi, a London-based newspaper, in August, 1996. The fatwa is entitled "Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places (Saudi Arabia)."

What was Bushes post 911 response to Bin Ladens demand the US leave Saudi Arabia? He left, quietly.
Tuesday, 29 April, 2003, US pulls out of Saudi Arabia:

Bush caved to the terrorists and cut and ran. He didn't want distractions when he attacked Iraq.
