ST. LOUIS, Missouri : President George W. Bush said that finding Osama bin Laden is not the principal aim of the war on terror.



In a presidential election debate with Democratic rival Senator John Kerry on Friday, Bush said: "It is a a fundamental misunderstanding to say that the war on terror is only Osama bin Laden.

"The war on terror is to make sure that these terrorist organisations do not end up with weapons of mass destruction. That's what the war on terror is about."

No priority on 9/13 was flying the Bin Laudin's out on private jets
Its obvious he wasn't wanting to find Binnie!!!

1. What happened tot he dead or alive shit he pulled?

(And to a point was right on)

Oh sorry Prince Bandar bush had a talk with the kid, didn't he?

[chookie]

5. And he says KERRY is the flip flopper?

How did we get from "Dead or Alive!" to "it doesn't matter"? Maybe "it's hard work!"

I guess this half covers for his failure to do so, and half covers for his pursuit of the PNAC agenda, i.e. regional war in the Middle East, and/or Armageddon.

(ha ha -- ever notice that with Bush's base, it doesn't even matter if we prevail in the "war on terra" because they think it is biblically inevitable that the world is going to end in a great battle anyway? Anytime something bad happens in Iraq, they think its another sign jesus is about to return.

Bizarre.

Foreign policy out of the Book of Revelation. Whoda thunk, huh?

[iamjoy]

20. We Should Call Howard Dean!!!

To send the White House some maple syrup to go with Dubya's waffle.

Of course, if we do capture bin Laden, Bush will say he meant to do it all along.

[chookie]

2. So the mastermind of Sept 11 is not a priority...

BUT the "potential" threat of Saddam Hussein was.

Bullshit.

If Dubya is trying to confuse Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, I bet he is succeeding. They have to be in awe at what a dumb shit he is.

I guess he's saying the law enforcement model is so Clinton era, and that he's upping the ante to Armageddon or nothing.

Let's keep repeating this, loud and over and over: Bush doesn't care about punishing bin Laden.

[ogradda]

3. huh?

so it's ok if they ram planes full of people in our buildings as long as they dont have anthrax handy?

[truthisfreedom]

4. idiot. he showed his hand.

he's delusional.

[beanball]

6. Mr.Bush

tells the truth at last,"its the money stupid" my rich friends are making a killing off this phony damn war.

[lovuian]

7. What about the PENTAGON WAS ATTACKED!!!

Not to Mention 3000 innocent people killed

Its Been 4 years where is Bin Laudin

and why isn't it a priority anymore

:argh:

[Steelangel]

8. But...

* did said that he(they) were chasing after Osama bin Laden when 9/11 attack came up. He even stated about reward on Osama either dead or alive.

HE FLIP-FLOPPED! But freepers will say that * did not and spin some new 'spins' about that.

[leQ]

9. if it wasn't 'only' bin laden

why didn't he have this war on terror before 9/11?

only bin laden attacked us
only bin laden was the focus on 9/13 and months after
only bin laden was just the ticket they needed to grab iraq.

maybe he means the man and not the organization he runs?
looks like the country needs 'clarification' again about things bush says.

[study_war_no_more]

10. lets face it CIA and FBI and ciggarette smoking man

are the most incompetent, corrupted, organizations known to the modern world.
That is why Afganistan is once more the worlds largest supplier of Opium. Any questions?

[tinanator]

14. all depends on how you look at it

Id say they were quite successful in meeting those goals.

[w4rma]

11. flip-flop (nt)

[Disturbed]

13. Al Zargawi...

is the new evil doer.

"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."

12. The Main aim is STEALING THE OIL

Always WAS

Still IS

Always will BE

15. Well he failed on the WMD front too.

Seeing as how we invaded Iraq who had none, and countries like N.Korea and Pakistan (who we are supposedly close allies with) have been proliferating and many times losing track of their nukular weapons.

[BenDavid]

16. The Osama Clock

It's been 1118 days since Bush said he'd catch Osama bin Laden 'Dead or Alive!'

[trogdor]

17. If we had gotten him within a few months of 9/11

it would have probably stopped al Qaida in its tracks. If the message we wanted to send to potential terrorists is, "don't fuck with us," that is what we had to do. We failed, and it's Bush's fault.

[tuvor]

18. bush doesn't want to bring the perp to justice?

And if he's not against the perp, he must be for the perp.

[It was not a pretzel]

19. Of course

So flying airliners into buildings is no big deal eh.

Another unbelievable statement among millions from the chimp in charge.....wanker.

[CO Liberal]

21. Bush Winning in November is the Main Aim of the War On Terror

Keep the sheeple scared..... :scared:

[Generator]

22. You nailed it Exactly.

[SOS]

23. Bush is failing miserably

From nunn-lugar.com in regard to securing the nuclear weapons in the former USSR:

"Unfortunately, Defense Enterprise Fund ("DEF"), a Program funded with NUNN-LUGAR money, fell victim to gross mismanagement, and the US government's investigation of DEF has been, at best, half-hearted. DEF was closed on December 31, 2003, its mission not accomplished at all and its $67M grant shamefully and criminally wasted."

[struggle4progress]

24. <snip> October surprise. Pakistan President Musharraf ...

should expect call from Bush. "Mushy? Time to wrap up Osama bin Laden. We need him for what I call perp walk. What do you mean, you don't have him? Find some tall, skinny guy with beard and shoot him full of holes."
