And we have to endure another 686 days of pure crap.
March 5th, 2007 at 11:22 am“The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him.”
- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01
“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
Uh huh.
March 5th, 2007 at 11:23 amCome on, Bush doesn’t want to catch Bin Laden… then it might look like there’s not a reason to restrict the rights of Americans for his political gain any longer. Their families are major business partners. He will never be caught… not by this administration, and likely not as long as Bush Sr. and their inside group of traitorous neo-cons have their influence over the military and CIA.
March 5th, 2007 at 11:23 amIt is amazing how the Bush-supporting flip-floppers care more about preserving their fantasy image of Bush as a macho strongman than about capturing the terrorist who murdered 3000 Americans. Of course these are the same people who command us to “support the troops” even while they defend sending the troops into a hellhole without adequate equipment or training

March 5th, 2007 at 11:28 amThe link has a very interesting commentary on the details of Saddam Hussein’s capture as well…
March 5th, 2007 at 11:29 am(Hey George, late at night, when everyone thinks you’re sleeping, do you ever get Saddam’s pistol out, and well, you know, think about your legacy….?)
Osama bin Laden has been dead since December of 2001.
March 5th, 2007 at 11:31 amHe’s not in Tora Bora, it’s Bora Bora… mmm, sunshine and pina coladas…
March 5th, 2007 at 11:31 amBen Laden.? Who.?….Oh that’s the guy they want to keep the memory alive about….Any new clip’s or old to drag out of the rove/bush archives…..Time for another viset to the crawford ranch and see if the vacationing buddy will make a new film or drag another old one out of the closet….Blessings

I have another one: Osama planned 9/11.
March 5th, 2007 at 11:46 am1240+ days since mission accomplished
March 5th, 2007 at 11:53 amOsama and Saddam planned the Ok city bombing.
Ask Laurie Myrolie if you don’t believe me.
March 5th, 2007 at 11:55 amBin Laden has been dead for several years… Why do you think that he hasn’t made any video tapes for release? What, he can’t afford to pay for a video camera or video tape? Come, on… Why do you think that all of these supposed Bin Laden tapes are always found in the audio format? Doesn’t that give you a little clue about his present state?
The alleged Bin Laden audio tapes were Made in USA, probably either by the CIA or by the WH, for their own twisted propaganda purposes…
The Bush gang needs to prop up Bin Laden as their favorite whipping boy, the corporate media loves to pillory an alive and well Bin Laden and the extreme fundamentalist Islamics want to believe that their leader is still around, alive and kicking…
March 5th, 2007 at 12:04 pmI wouldn’t be surprised to hear Osama got a nice payoff for his services on 9/11. A big fat check with bonuses from BushCo. and the PNAC.
March 5th, 2007 at 12:05 pmAh the ol’ Phantom Menace. Jar Jar Bush needs OBL – why else would he have started the Clone Wars…I mean…oh nevermind!
March 5th, 2007 at 12:16 pmHow come we’re not going after Bin Laden for the events of 9/11?
Because according to the FBI there’s insufficient proof Osama was involved with 9/11. There IS proof Osama has committed other crimes against the US but 9/11 is not one of them.
When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, [Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI] said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.â€
March 5th, 2007 at 12:20 pm
OK, so let me get this straight — The person who was responsible for several attacks and also the biggest attack on U.S. soil is not captured and the government doesn’t seem to bother, YET the person who was never directly related to attacks on U.S. citizens or on their soil was THE biggest threat to the country and needed to be brought down?
Wow, Hypocrisy in the land of the free indeed.
March 5th, 2007 at 12:32 pmIs there a single shred of evidence for this?
March 5th, 2007 at 12:36 pmKucinich outlines plan for Iraq withdrawal
March 5th, 2007 at 12:39 pmNow here’s a nice story TP could run.
Ron Paul for pres sez:
There isn’t a single shred of evidence to support the assertion that OBL lived past December of 2001, never mind being alive and well today. Not a one.
March 5th, 2007 at 12:45 pmIf only people would read. Bin Ladin had nothing to do with 9/11 it was someone else’s brain idea. Bush and Cheney made plans with Halliburton long before he took office. Part of the deal with the Saudi’s was to protect Osama as his family are share holders in the oil company. Wake up people Bin Ladin was treated in a New York Hospital just before 9/11, that’s why the White House knows he has kidney problems. While watching the smoke of the burning military office in Washington Bush and Saudi friend smoked and had a drink. Does that sound like trouble or success. Even the idiot Bush himself said he doesn’t think much about Osama. If your house were stolen by robbers would you wait 9 months to report it as that was enough time for the robbers to get away. Why were all the Middle East friends and family of Osama and Saudi’s put on planes and never questioned remember no planes could fly. Two days before 9/11 Daddy, Connie Rice and Rummy were told not to fly on Sept. 11th. The last meeting with Bush and staff the memo read BIN LADIN ATTACKING THE US WITH AIRPLAINS. Yet no one bothered to check airports or air schools Bush just left for vacation. The World Trade Center was said to be built to with stand anything with the best steele made. Only to find out the building was short changed and cheap materials were used instead. The plan was to scare Americans and lie about Iraq to justifiy the invasion. And yes Americans played right into the lie as Bush said fool me once shame on me fool you twice shame on you. Americans were fooled and Bush is still making fools of us today. Ask the troops at Walter Reed who have mice/roaches biting their open wounds so they can die from infection.

March 5th, 2007 at 2:23 pmThis is the biggest failure the Bush administration has had. It should dissappoint every American. It is time we up the funding and bring on more elite troops to find this man. We need more help from Pakistan as well or we start demanding it (or just walk across there damn border and do what we have to do).
The war on terror is the 2nd biggest issue (Global warming is #1 in my book). We should be dedicating much more time and resources to this.
March 5th, 2007 at 2:39 pmHey, Roger_Rhetoric, can you provide one shred of evidence that Osama bin Laden was living after December of 2001?
Just one verifiable piece of intel….that’s all I’m asking. If you do manage to find one, you might consider applying for a job with the F.B.I., since you would have managed to do what they could not do in over five years.
March 5th, 2007 at 2:50 pmAs I was walking in the desert one fine day
March 5th, 2007 at 3:01 pmI heard a strange tall figure sing and say:
“I’m OSAMA BIN LADIN!
I’m steeped in EVIL and SIN!
I’m STRONG to the FINISH
‘Cause I DON’T EAT my Spinach!
I’m OSAMA BIN LADIN!!!!!”
So I grabbed a HUGE Scimitar
And LOPPED OFF his DISGUSTING UGLY head
Which kept on singing:
“I ain’t got no-body…
But boy have I got the mo-ney!
Just rollin’ around
With Ayman and BUSH,
I…..
AT WHICH POINT I CRUSHED HIS BLOODY HEAD WITH A HUGE BOULDER!!!!!
#29 Man I hope your right that he is dead. If he is and our government knows about it, they have alot of explaining to do. Either way, I certainly don’t get wrapped up in conspirecy theories. In the end, AQ is still out there and TP has reported that they are even recruiting so our work is far from done. This is a war that may take 25 or more years (may never end). We need to confront and kill terrorists whenever and wherever they are. Like I said before, we need to up the funding, resources, and man power towards fighting terrorists abroad and finding/killing OBL.
March 5th, 2007 at 3:05 pmRoger_Rhetoric sez:
That’s not an answer.
Considering that he was reported dead in December of 2001, but the administration refuses to acknowledge this report, and continues to present the subsequent video and audio tapes of Osama as proof that need to continue being afraid and trusting them, while no reputable authority has ever certified them as authentic, I’d say the government is well aware of the situation.
I’ve got bad news for you sunshine…you already are ‘wrapped up’ in conspiracy theories if you give this administration’s claims any credence.
Of course it will never end, if this administration has anything to say about it. Keeping us in a perpetual state of war and fear ensures our meek compliance. If you disagree with this assessment, please explain our administration’s persistence in holding up as a threat a man who was reported dead over five years ago.
You admit that the administration may be guilty of misleading us about Osama bin Laden, and yet you continue to beat the drums?
Since you’ve come full circle, it seems only appropriate to reiterate my challenge to you.
Can you provide one shred of verifiable evidence that Osama bin Laden was living after December of 2001?
March 5th, 2007 at 3:50 pmTripMaster Monkey,
I hope you’re wrong that OBL is dead. If it turns out that there is definitive proof OBL died by December 2001, all Chimpy will have to do is say, Yep, we knew that. Didn’t tell anyone because of national security.
I don’t want him getting off that easily.
March 5th, 2007 at 3:51 pmAmericans have no one to blame but Americans. We Americans have let this fiasco continue for far to long. Ask yourself how much of the problem do you own. I’ve traveled America for 6 years, and from what i have experienced, Prez. ?Bush is not the only one who doesn’t care. What have YOU done to make YOUR gov’t work for you? What have YOU America’s new ideology: get what you can, when you can, however you can, for yourself.

I was a naive 18 yr old who signed up in the army to travel and attain the GI bill bcuz i was “low class”.

March 5th, 2007 at 4:35 pmI was a naive and “low class” 18 yr old who signed up in the army to serve, travel, and attain the GI bill just twenty yrs ago. As a more mature adult, I now believe that Americans in this country care not for this land nor each other.
America’s new ideology: get what I can, when I can, however I can, for myself. I dislike and have no respect for my fellow Americans for whom I once served.

Comment by War Vett
I hope you continue to travel, and find that not all of us are that way.
Thank you for serving, War Vett. I’m sorry we disappointed you.
March 5th, 2007 at 4:46 pmOBL will be “captured” or “killed” (and body displayed Zarqawi-style) around summer to fall ‘08. The Global War on Terror will begin its wrap-up period right before the presidential elections.
The GWOT will no longer be useful then, and neither will OBL.
George W Bush believes that people will look back 20 years from now and see his presidency as a great success. Will it be because OBL will conveniently be “captured” or “killed” right before his presidency ends? 9/11 happened 9 months after his inauguration and if the GWOT ends right before Bush’s presidency, then what does that look like to you?
But, maybe we’ll have a new boogie man by then to keep a good thing going.
March 5th, 2007 at 5:44 pmThis must be some sort of new record. I’m astonished. I just skimmed through about 32 posts regarding our failure to capture or kill bin Laden and I saw no posts whining that this was Clinton’s fault. Amazing!
March 5th, 2007 at 6:12 pmCenk, in general, I admire the work you do, but I question this apparently “preferred” state of ignorance on your part, especially given that you are typically rather well-informed. Please read the following massively-documented research disclosing the common threads running thru WTC93, OKC, Kosovo, 9-11, Anthrax and beyond.

March 5th, 2007 at 8:21 pm#38 I imagine the autopsy they won’t perform would show freezer burn.
March 5th, 2007 at 8:21 pmBush was as concerned about finding Bin Laden as O.J. Simpson was in finding “the real killers”.
March 5th, 2007 at 9:50 pmOsama is a coward! Like Saddam and his followers. They have others do their killing and maiming of innocents. They hide behind women and children. I wonder if Osama will come out of his hole like Sadam without a fight?
March 6th, 2007 at 12:13 am#44 That would depend on whether we could find him, I guess.
March 6th, 2007 at 1:09 amyour all crazy to think bin laden is the most important thing we can do hello every one is over looking china over populatted mostly men and their running out of resorce its time to expand or die for them give it 5years
