Who's Afraid of bin Ladin?

[TimMooring]

I know i sure as hell am. The "we are war's sons" statement from his latest tape sent a chill down my spine. It's not that he's such a big bad bogeyman - it's just that our side is so weak. In spite of our military power - what's to protect us from * dozing off and comletely forgetting about protecting the country. We've already seen how his advisors are ready to follow his - strike that - cheney's lead w/o question or reserve. Our expertise seems to be exclusively in the arena of pissing people off. Bad combo - inept, inattentive, perhaps psychotic bush and totally focused, determined enmity from bin Ladin and his followers.

Condi did get one thing right: "we're still not safe" and IMHO we're less safe.

The neocons have other plans quite apart from the iraq project. There's still their version of star-wars - episode II or III now - I forget. Their ability to stay focused is a dubious proposition at best.

bin Ladin doesn't strike me as the type of person that forgets anything.

1. And

Clarke is no longer there.

[TimMooring]

2. Did you see that repug on Cross Fire?

he had the nerve to say that "at least Clarke's gone". The very man that warned them repeatedly and the first they called on when the attacks happened. Scary as hell.

my FAVORITE Flip/Flops for the cheeseater

FLIP

"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 want justice...There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive,'"
- G.W. Bush, 9/17/01, UPI

FLOP

"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

"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts,
3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)


is Kerry EVER going to use this?

6. Sometimes I wonder if his advisers are shrubco plants - nt

[Mel]

8. no

I stopped watching the corporatista cable media long ago! Your right though it's scary as hell! Republicans are stupid they'd rather people die than their admitting mistakes or giving up some of their ill gotten power.

From Clarke's book there are many others not there besides him that's pretty scary too. I loaned my copy out so I can't tell you the names right now.

I'm not all that afraid of Osama I refuse to live in fear it's what he wants and what * wants they can forget it.

4. Fuck him , I'm not living in fear of him

I however am realistic about it , and feel
bush is doing a terrible job of defending
America's homefront from the likes of osama's
murderers .

7. The 'Boogie-Laden'...

doesn't even remotely frighten me as much as the fascists that use him to acheive their goals
