Bush Says U.S. Won't Be Intimidated by Bin Laden
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 05:28 PM by cal04
Update from Yahoo


President Bush (news - web sites) vowed on Friday that "Americans will not be intimidated or influenced" by a threatening videotape from Osama bin Laden

"Let me make this very clear," Bush said in Toledo, Ohio, standing next to Air Force One. "Americans will not be intimated or influenced by an enemy of our country. I'm sure Senator Kerry agrees with this."

He said he learned about the tape earlier in the day and that intelligence officials continued to analyze it.

Bush said, "We are at war with these terrorists."

12. the bush coward is frieds with the Bin Laden family
The coward probably had the loose lips that gave the Bin Laden family all they needed to make 9/11 the smashing sucess it was, while the bush coward sat in a school pinching his legs so not to piss himself.

9. Quote From bin Laden regarding Doofus
"It never occurred to us that the commander in chief of the American forces (Bush) would leave 50,000 citizens in the two towers to face those horrors alone at a time when they most needed him because he thought listening to a child discussing her goat and its ramming was more important than the planes and their ramming of the skyscrapers. This had given us three times the time needed to carry out the operations, thanks be to God..."

This quote says it all.

Hey look give the guy a break, he's tired, it's hard work,

13. No sirree, Mr. Bush
You are not worried, sitting behind an army of secret service and military guards in an armored car or airplane.

You better start feeling intimidate, schmuck. By the American people.

15. Bush is looking DONE
I found this quote to be quite shocking, "Americans will not be intimated or influenced by an enemy of our country. I'm sure Senator Kerry agrees with this."

Why would he bring up Senator Kerry at that moment?? If had any real fight left in him, wouldn't he take the chance to try and use the issue? He seemed to conceed that the tape shouldn't influence anyone's vote because he and Kerry agree that Bin Laden should play no part in the election.

Everytime I see him, I can't help but feel that he knows he is done and is just going through the motions.

Anyone else sense this?

16. The CHIMPANZEE the Cowardly is afraid of his own shadow
Without his mommy to tuck him in at night and thousands of heavily armed body guards he'd shit in his pants.

Thats why he dodged the draft in Viet-Nam

19. Osama says he has no trouble dealing with * or his administration
It's the same as dealing with governments in his region – half are ruled by armies, and others by sons of kings. Ouch!

28. Osama
Reading kids books is such hard work. At war with these terrorists? Bush is at war with his own ignorance. If he was shadow boxing himself, his shadow would knock him out.

29. Will not be intimidated by an enemy of our country?
This is the same guy who spent a good part of 9/11 flying about the country. My hero.

And awfully nice of him to refocus on bin Laden. You're a little late George.
