Cheney knows where bin Laden is hiding, but not exact 'address'
WASHINGTON (AFP) - US Vice President Dick Cheney said that he knows where Al-Qaeda terror chief Osama bin Laden is hiding out, but not his precise location.
"We've got a pretty good idea of the general area that he's in, but I -- you know, I don't have the street address," Cheney told CNN in an interview, confirming comments by Central Intelligence Agency chief Porter Goss.

-snip-
But he added: "In the chain that you need to successfully wrap up the war on terror, we have some weak links. And I find that until we strengthen all the links, we're probably not going to be able to bring Mr. bin Laden to justice."

1. He did not seem too eager to go get him did he?
You would think he would be all happy to be closing in, did not look like it. I would have to say they are liars....

2. We did not know that planes would be used as missiles.....
....noboby could give dates and places and times of these attacks (9-11).

The excuses and lies go on!

3. Simple solution
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 10:02 AM by PATRICK
When sending Bin Laden a post card, pay for address correction requested service and affix the proper postage at taxpayers' expense. Make sure the Pakistani postal clerks append a message also "Please notify senders of correct address". Standard procedure, and if they weren't so leery of getting involved with the Postal Service because of the anthrax embarassment all of our problems would have been solved long ago.

4. So freepers get all fired up...
..for those eight thousand times OBL was given to Clinton and he didn't want him, and say "right on" when Cheney says this stuff...

It's becoming Bizzaro World. Someone page Seinfeld.

6. Liar Liar Pants on fire!
:rant:

F U c*.

You know exactly where Osama is...but you don't want to loose your pet boogieman. The longer Osama is allowed to run free, the more you get to line your pockets.

You are an obsenity, a malignant tumor, a piece of whale crap.

8. Rummy told us last year where he was
He is "north, east, south or west of Baghdad". Sheesh, you'd think they would compare notes sometimes. :sarcasm:

9. This is easy.
Bush needs another "crisis" to ressurect his poll numbers.

Rally 'round the unburned flag! Rally 'round the commander-in-thief!

In due time, it will slip out that Cheney knows that .... bin Laden is in ..... Iran.

11. Yep. I think they have coffee and donuts every morning and then
read the paper and laugh out loud. This is the most incompetent group of people I have ever seen and why anybody believes a word they say is beyond me.
