What to do next?

Today's NYT Editorial quote:

The real challenge came after the Afghan invasion, when Mr. Bush had to decide what to do next — rethink the outdated world view his advisers had brought into office, or snap back into old reflexes and go after Iraq, the enemy of the last generation. It was then that he chose the wrong path.

What he should have done next was to continue to press the hunt for UBL and the remaining al Qaeda and Taliban hold-outs. They are still there, in Afghanistan and Pakistan, causing trouble around the globe.

Talk about swatting flies; at best the continued prosecution of the hunt for al Qaeda and UBL could be characterized as "swatting flies".
