Thanks to Osama Bin Laden I Finally Get It
TRANSCRIPT:
OBL: We agreed with Mohamed Atta, god bless him, to execute the whole operation in 20 minutes. Before Bush and his administration would pay attention and we never thought that the high commander of the US armies would leave 50 thousand of his citizens in both towers to face the horrors by themselves when they most needed him because it seemed to distract his attention from listening to the girl telling him about her goat butting was more important than paying attention to airplanes butting the towers which gave us three times the time to execute the operation thank god.


OMG!!! Bush* HAD THE POWER TO ACTUALLY SAVE LIVES THAT DAY!!
As soon as he was told about the first crash, even BEFORE arriving at the school, all of the pieces should have come together from the intelligence warnings over the summer, and HE SHOULD HAVE ORDERED THE EVACUATION OF THE SOUTH TOWER AS WELL!!

INSTEAD, people were sent back to their desks in the South tower!
BUSH* COULD HAVE SAVED COUNTLESS AMERICAN LIVES HAD HE ACTED!!
Thanks to OBL, I finally get it. Continuing to read "My Pet Goat" was a CRIMINAL ACT!

Workers had looked across the divide after 8.48am at an inferno in their twin tower, and decided to make a run for it. They were told, however, to remain in their seats.

Others, who had made it down stairwells towards - or even out into - the lobby giving out on to the street and freedom, were told to run back upstairs, so that during the crucial 15 minutes of what should have been escape, there was confusion and a two-way rush along the panic-stricken arteries of life.

'I heard people being told, "The building is secure. The safest place is inside; stay calm and do not leave". That's what they were saying. They were telling people to go back up to their offices and their desks, like the building was not in danger.'

I tried to explain the seriousness of the "20 Minutes"
To an undecided voter a couple of weeks ago. I think I finally convinced her that the COMMANDER IN CHIEF would not sit there that long unless he was a complete idiot. This should clarify the situation for her, I'll have to make sure she sees it. By the way, I did convince her to register to vote...and vote for Kerry.

2. Explain It To Her This Way
He sat there quietly awaiting orders. His agents told him to sit down and STFU, and they would come get him as soon as they knew where they were going to take him.

Doesn't that say it all right there?

Wooooo, LEADERSHIP!!

3. I think I got through to her
This Osama tape should really clarify it. I'm in a swing state, so I have to keep her vote for Kerry.

10. Good for you. I try and try to talk to my friend
about not voting for Dubya and I cannot get through to her. It makes me miserable.

as in Criminally Negligent Homicide.

6. Words from today's bin Laden tape...
From today's video tape of a statement by Osama bin Laden:

"Despite entering the fourth year after Sept. 11, Bush is still deceiving you and hiding the truth from you and therefore the reasons are still there to repeat what happened," said the al-Qaeda leader.

"Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al-Qaeda. Your security is in your own hands," bin Laden said.

...just an fyi.

7. Bush froze -- and in those crucial minutes
the terrorists had time to kill many more people and frighten millions into submission to the AWOL in chief.

He was AWOL from the National Guard in 1972, and he was AWOL from his appointed post as commander in chief* on 9/11.

8. Kristen Brietweiser Has been saying this for 3 years....
Her husband was in the second tower and would be alive if they had been told by someone, anyone to evacuate. Instead they were told all is well, go back to your offices! No wonder she is so pissed! It amazes me so many people still don't get it!

9. Absolutely. Both Smirk and Giuliani could've ordered evacuations.
If they'd done that immediately, hundreds of lives could have been saved. I was astonished and appalled that it wasn't ordered within seconds of the first plane hitting. I was yelling at the TV screen at the time.

It's totally and irrevocably disgusting that either of those imbeciles would be given credit for 'leadership' when they showed absolutely no responsible leadership whatsoever! If such an event had occurred in Japan, I dare say both Smirk and Giuliani would've been required to commit seppuku. Hari kiri. Even that is better than they deserve.

12. Ya know what's weird?
These words, attributed to OBL, are pretty much the same words I wanted to hear from Kerry.

B*sh has been running pretty much on 9/11.... OBL laid out the simple truth about the quality of leadership that day and it's as damning a report as anything I've ever seen.

One other point: Doesn't it make you a bit uneasy to see "America's Greatest Enemy" looking so fit and relaxed, three years after he was so designated? How come he is still alive? How come thousands of our soldiers are dead but the 'greatest enemy' is still kicking?
