Osama Bin Who?

Osama Bin Who?

Bush: “The only way our enemies can succeed is if we forget the lessons of September 11 … if we abandon the Iraqi people to men like Zarqawi … and if we yield the future of the Middle East to men like Bin Laden.”

Fact: “So I don’t know where [Osama Bin Laden] is. You know, I just don’t spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you.” [President Bush, 3/13/02]

    He’s turning pages, but what is he reading, a teleprompter?


  2. Susan says:

    He called him Ben Laden..duh.


  3. Skid says:

    Don’t remember that Bin Laden quote he had.


  4. QWQ says:

    There’s more. In response to the next question at the 3/12/02 press conference, a follow-up on Osama, Bush said:

    “I’ll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him.”


  5. Muledriver says:

    What he would have said if he were honest:

    “The only way our enemies suceed is if we forget, as we have, that the terrorists behind September 11 had nothing to do with Iraq…or if we abandon Iraq like you have abandoned this great country of ours to men like me who do not have the experience, the vision, the common sense, or the ethics to lead a country through difficult times…and if we yield the future of the Middle East to men like Bin Laden, or the repressive regimes like Saudi Arabia, whom I am proud to call my friend.”


  6. Susan says:

    Bushie is not concerned about Bin Laden because he knows exactly where he is…At the Bushie hotel, living it up and enjoying the money he was paid.

    Remember nearly 2 weeks after sept 11 that bush did say who it was involved attack on US soil he pointed it was BIN LADEN idea. before sept 11 he and his government never mention about terriost and never mention about what is to happen. THINK about it if you can try remember that before and after sept 11 what bush say things it was fact he lied. why there is so many confusion who who’s is terriost how can you prove that, there was 9 men who wasnt terriost it was still alive can you manage how bush lied about who they are, who made this story up.

    Its was all just a publicity stunt to get re-elected back into office. He tells people what they wants to hear. he knows where he’s at thats why hes not concerned about it. what he needs to do is bring the troops home and do what he promised him. everytime i cut on the radio i here people donating money to the families whose loved ones is across seas because they don’t have enough money to pay their bills and to eat. he promise them things he can’t deliver. Healthcare for the troops: thy don’t have ADEQUATE healthcare when they come back messed up in the head.All in the VA hospitals you see people doped up in wheel chairs they didn’t ask for that S***. they went over as a JOB as in PAYCHECK, RISKING THEIR LIVES TO PROTECT US AND THIS IS THE THANKS THEY GET WHEN THEY COME HOME. WHEN THEY GET INJURED THEY HAVE NOTHING PROBABLY ENOUGH TO PAY THEIR BILLS TO PUT A ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BREAD THEY GOTTA EAT TO. BUSH PROMISE THE TROOPS SO MANY THINGS, BUT WHEN IT GETS DOWN TO ACTUALLY DELIVERING THE PROMISE ITS LIKE GIVING A CRACKHEAD $100.00 DOLLARS AND TELL HIM TO BRING YOUR CHANGE BACK. GET MY DRIFT SO BUSH IS NOT DOING HIS JOB ALL THE MONEY HES PUTTING MILITARY HE CAN PUT 1/4 THAT IN SOCIAL SECURITY. *KIA* DURHAM, NC
